Rally Car Racing returns for X Games 16 as one
of the most exciting events on the schedule. With increased ticket
sales and television ratings, Rally Car Racing is a fan favorite.

Drivers from the Rally America National Rally Championship series will
once again be invited to compete in ESPN’s Summer X Games 16
competition, the leading action sports event broadcast live on ESPN.

Rally America, Inc. will be the sport organizer for the X Games 16
Rally Car Racing event. The selection criteria for the twelve athletes
receiving an invitation for Rally Car Racing at X Games 16 is as
follows:

1. The three Rally Car medalists from X Games 15; Kenny Brack, Travis Pastrana, and Tanner Foust.

2. The top four overall Rally America National Championship drivers not otherwise invited as of June 8, 2010.

3. Five “At Large” entries yet to be determined. “At Large” entries may
or may not be competitors currently active in the Rally America
National Championship.


If a driver invited using criteria 1 or 2 declines his invitation, the
invitation will become “At Large”. Criteria 2 will not automatically be
extended beyond the 4th driver not otherwise invited. Although SP and
2WD National championship points leaders as of June 8, 2010 are not
automatically invited unless they meet criteria 2, they will be
strongly considered by the selection committee.

This summer’s X Games 16 event location and dates, and a television schedule will be announced in the near future by ESPN.

Good info, thanks Scott!
Hmm, wonder if I do well enough in the RallyCross that I could get an invite..... But, an '80's 2WD Ranger would look a little out of place at the X-Games.
I have a professionally built 85 Rally Ranger for sale if your interested. It's 3/4 done and idle. E-mail me back if you want specifics. It's just sitting collect dust.
Ah, I appreciate the offer, but in reality, I probably can't afford a built one. The Ranger I was looking at was $250-300 and all I was going to do was get it running, install a cage and seats, and just go run.
