RIP Colin McRae

Colin McRae, the legendary World Rally Champion, was tragically killed in a helicopter accident with his 5-year old son and another child and adult.

The WRC isn’t hugely popular in the United States, partly because there are no events here, but I became a huge fan when I started watching it on Speed TV. I would record all the events on the DVR and watch them. To me, rally racers are the premier racing drivers as they not only need extreme car control, you have to have a real set of balls when you have to race on all types of surfaces just inches from a drop off on a cliff hundreds of feet up.

Colin was the WRC’s first real superstar who eventually had a series of video games and racing simulators named after him. His father was also a 5 time rally champion.

It’s getting to be that time….

It’s almost that time of the season, when you start thinking about what you would like for Christmas!   Well, if your a boy under the age of 18, or a man who just refuses to grow up like myself, you put one of these on your wish list!
