2007 Gorman Ridge Rally
The 2007 Gorman Ridge Rally took place on August 18, 2007. It was round six of the United States Rally Championship. A California Rally Series Triple Points Event. Presented by Creative Edge events and sponsored by Subaru. This was the 18th annual running of the event. By all accounts the conditions were the bumpiest and rockiest of all time. It was definitely the driest year on record and competitors were happy just to get through the race in one piece. Hopefully their liquid cooled racing suits helped keep them chilling in the desert. Go to the Rally USA results page for all of the gorey details.

Rockstar Rally Team : Tanner Foust #34 & Andrew Pinker #5
The Rockstar Energy Drink 2007 Rally Team, must really be drinking their products. They have had a phenomenal performance record this year in their North American competitions. The twin Subaru STi cars are Tanner Foust & Co-Driver: Chrissie Beavis (Car #34) with Andrew Pinker and Robbie Durant in (Car #5). They must have their boost "turned up to 11". The Syms pit crew kept things rolling along with ease while the Tein suspension seemed to outperform all of the other competitors equipment. This footage was shot while training for the X-Games 13 Super Special Stage Jump. Tanner & Chrissie, went on to win the X-Games 13 Rally Car event with the smooth, clean driving which they are known for. Rock on ! Thanks to Rally America and ESPN for allowing media access to the training grounds. Soundtrack is "Rockstar" by SK and Dante Thomas.

XGames Crash - Team DSG
Team DSG crashed their Mitsubishi Evo dramatically at X-Games Practice !!! This is the best footage you will find!!!! They came up about a car length short and rebounded end over end. Ramana Lagemann & co-driver Mark Williams walked away shaken up, but resolved to compete in the X-Games. Unfortunately the degree of damage caused further complications with their engine during the actual Stadium Special Stage and they had to give up. Hopefully we will see them on the podium next year. Thanks to Rally America and ESPN for access to the Lake Elsinore Training Grounds. Soundtrack by Kabuki 5000.

The Road to Rally
"The Road to Rally" episode, is a compilation of highlights, from "The Rim of the World Rally", "The Laughlin International Rally" and the "Magellan Adventure Rally". Rally may just be the best way to tour America. You will certainly see places that many will never view, except on television. What better way to experience nature than by leaving a mile long trail of dust and exhaust ripping across the landscape. Dirt Drifters isn't only about getting sideways and dusted. There is another meaning to the word drift. Professional Rally drivers traverse the planet, drifting across the continent. In search of great terrain at amazing speed. The exotic landscapes of North America will keep them, "Addicted to Dirt" ! The Soundtrack is "Highway" by Kabuki 5000.

Drifting at Rim of the World 2005
Drifting has been the fastest growing form of motorsports in the last few years. The west coast immediately embraced the style and aggression of drifting. It turns out that for many asphalt drifters, the left foot braking and e-brake techniques of WRC rally are their inspiration. In this clip the TEIN D1 car by PJ Bonifacio Autodesign gets very sideways. You will also see the Slide Squad and the Drift Patrol Cop.
Soundtrack is by DJ Ammo.
