Subaru Rally Team USA set up their X Games service area at the Home Depot Center this morning. No practice or testing today meant the team technicians and drivers were free to have some fun! The entire SRT USA team headed to K1 Speed in Irvine, California. K1 Speed is co-owned by Subaru X Games guest driver Boris Said who couldn't be with the team due to his NASCAR event coming up on saturday. (visit them at www.k1speed.com)

This is K1 Speed! Its an awesome place with electric karts that are really fun. |
|
Minor road rash on my right arm from Moto X practice won't slow me down. |

Warm up lap... |
|
Ken Block testing his DC driving shoes in a kart for the first time. |

|
|
Notice how Ken gets to start in front of all the SRT USA technicians. |
|
I challenged Colin and Ken to a 3 man race. The winner would be crowned champion of the night. |
| |
|
|
Challenge accepted! The final race of the night would be just the three of us! |
|
This would be a piece of cake - its only Colin McRae and Ken Block! |
| |
|
|
Colin seems relaxed here but I bet he was scared of losing to me! |
|
The starting grid is set! |
| |
|
|
And we're off! The whole SRT USA team was watching us battle it out. |
|
I look pretty serious here, but Ken and Colin spun me out a few times and I had to play catch up! |
| |
|
|
It was neck and neck most of the time except for when we were crashing and spinning each other out. But the winner was Block! |
|
Comparing lap times with Colin, I may have lost the race but I had the fastest lap time of the night. |
| |
|
|
The trophy presentation with Ken on top of the podium. He doesn't realize Colin and I let him win. |
|
It was a great night, thanks K-1 Speed for hosting the SRT USA squad! |
