You can see the starting conditions of the corner out of the Old Mill on Day 2 at Twin Peaks.

The Dirt Fish guys took their car for a fun run on the track with the media, they took a couple of laps before more practice commenced.

Dave Mirra signs some posters for young fans.

Tanner Foust signs some posters at the autograph session in the Cooper Tires trailer.

Inside view of the Old Mill, they told us this building was close to or over 100 years old.

Stephan Verdier washes the dirt off of his Subaru.

We had the chance to catch Dave Mirra skipping out on the autograph session and walked the corner out of the Old Mill with him. He was worried that it was extremely slick because of the weather but after closer inspection felt that he could really take the corner sideways and take off out of the corner, which later that day left him with another damaged car as he had to be towed back to the pits.

While walking the track with Mirra he had some comments on Foust’s words after he overshot the jump the previous day while jumping over the blue Ford Fiesta, from Mirra’s own experience he says that you never blame the builder of the jump if you take the jump too fast and launch your own car 120 feet instead of 70 feet, the problem isn’t with the jump he said. Mirra felt very confident on the part of the course that we walked with him.

Richard Burton takes the joker with a car approaching underneath him.

Michael Jernberg takes the corner hard in his Skoda Fabia in “The Link” as 2 cars trail him.

Andi Mancin loses boost as he attempts to go over the joker and flips his car.

Andi Mancin appears from the rubble unharmed and waves to the crowd as they cheer him on.

Ultimately, Tanner Foust came away with the first place win on Day 2. We hope to see this event continue to come back to the Northwest for years to come and we have a feeling this track will be a hit with the folks in the Pacific Northwest. Until next time.

Drivers from the top ranks of action sports and rallycross in the United States and Europe will meet on an inventive industrial course for the second-round battle for the inaugural Global RallyCross Championship title – and a chance to earn an invitation to X Games 17 Rally competitions held in downtown Los Angeles this summer.

Full coverage of the event will be broadcast on ESPN; live streaming and video highlights are available online.

Racing will take place on an amazing track configuration at the Old Mill Adventure Park, which also plays host to the DirtFish Rally School. The course includes a huge gap jump that sees competition cars fly 70-feet through the air – a feature seen only at X Games and Global RallyCross competition – and a section that has cars race through an industrial warehouse, with the sound of high-power engines ricocheting off the walls.

Global RallyCross competition has been likened to videogame play and this round won’t disappoint fans looking for big action and incredible imagery.

Among those expected to compete at the two-day event are three-time X Games Rally gold medalist Tanner Foust in his Ford Fiesta rallycross car, Hyundai-backed Rhys Millen and five-time British rally champion Marcus Dodd. Subaru’s Dave Mirra and 2010 X Games driver and Formula DRIFT pro Stephan Verdier also plan to compete.

Drivers take on two days of competition, with Friday showcasing head-to-head racing known as SuperRally, and Saturday’s marquee RallyCross action featuring as many as six cars on course at once, aggressively bumping doors, sliding, and hitting the big jump. Top X Games stars including Travis Pastrana and Brian Deegan have described rally car competition as “action sport, with a roll cage.”

In addition to the fierce door-to-door competition, drivers will also be available for autograph sessions and a vendor midway will offer further entertainment for fans. Tickets for two days of action are just $25 and will be available on Friday at www.global-rallycross-com

We will be there, and a full post will follow after the action on Saturday. We look forward to seeing you all there.
