Pastrana wins SnoDrift Rally....

...which apparently was all about the ICE. Yay, Michigan. Seriously, if you've never really checked out rally racing, you're missing out on some of the craziest guys in motorsports. There's a reason most of the younger drivers (e.g., Travis Pastrana) come from extreme sports backgrounds.

Also, the Rolex 24 at Daytona is ongoing... another bunch of crazies, for completely different reasons. Twenty-four hours of road course racing; I'm not sure that even four drivers to swap out is enough.

Add in drivers that make decisions to drive injured (like a torn ACL, that will be repaired AFTER a season that hasn't started yet... Really, Denny? Really??)... it's obvious dedication is required for these series schedules and everything else required off-track at the top levels, but good grief. I sold my soul to Science and she's a less demanding mistress!!

Ah, motorsports... how I love the new definitions of 'crazy' that it provides... Almost makes me look sane. At least comparably.
