Seeing as WRC rally Ireland is only a day away the SWRT was is my hometown tonight to open a new Suby dealarship.
It was cool, they had Ponz's car driven straight from the shakedown to be there and all the drivers: Solberg, Atkinson, Ponz and Chris Meeke was there too.
Didn't have the camera with me but I got this poster signed by all of them!!!!

I freakin' LOVE (Petter) Solberg. Watching him roar around rally courses in the new Impreza is awesome.

Thats wicked cool.

My little brothers got to meet and spend the day with Travis Pastrana and Ken Block when they were doing the rally through NH and Maine this past year and the year before.

I didn't believe them but they had pictures of everything. The rally went right through their town (Berlin NH) and they had lunch and everything. Travis told my little brothers to go into the trailer and get him and anyone else who wanted one a soda. This was after they spent the morning hanging out with him and ken after the leg of the race.

Something on Ken's car was busted during the race and my dad pointed it out to them or something (finally the ass does something that is nice for once). He would have gotten disqualified or something had they not noticed. So Ken and Travis asked my brothers and dad to come with them to the next leg of the race which was in Maine because after they have some big dinner party thing.

That was the year before. This past summer I went up because the rally was coming back, but the day before the race (I came like 3 days before to spend time with my brothers) my dad pissed me off by being an ass and I let out how I felt about his drug use and hitting the kids and how he refuses to get a job when even mentally ill people have jobs at stop and shop. Needless to say I left that night and never got to see the race. That was also the last time that I got to talk to my brothers.

But I was like "Bull****" when they told me all that, because my dad is known to stretch the truth, but they had pics and video's of everything. I was like "noooo ****, thats crazy" lol. If only I had not let my self criticize my father. But it was going to happen eventually.

That is sick though. Being right there is soooo awesome aparently lol. But dangerous to. But sooo worth it from what my little brothers said. They showed me the road they drove on at like 100mph and my SRT4 couldn't take that crap at half that speed lol. Crazy
