      Yea losing a parent around her age tends to put a long lasting numb kind of hurt on you.. something that maybe years down the road suddenly hits you like a brick facelift and hurts bad. At the beginning you just try to maintain the face and keep it inside so you can still get through work or school or life in general.. lost my mom suddenly when i was just a year or two older than her and a year later my pops took his own life then followed my sister with the same thing. Grandparents on both sides had already just passed themselves so i feel her pain although everybody deals with it different.. with me i dont think ive done it well and itching everyday to join my dad and sister.

    I managed to watch the live stream before looking at any social media, as I was a few hours late getting to watch it, and I'm so glad nobody spoiled that ending. What a great race and the tribute to Ken Block was so epic. I'm sure Lia was watching it with tears in her eyes as were a lot of us. Great Show to all those involved. I can't wait to see what's next.
    Even if this was all I got for $99us as a one year sub, I'd still be pretty happy with it, but there's so many older live-streams to go through, it's a real value proposition.

      They are cycling through cameras more, often action started and they'd cycle to another shot. They were usually super super tight shots. 1-3 cars max. A track that sized they can easily keep it pretty wide and still be able to see exceptionally well. There's really no reason to see less than 1/3 the field at any given time on the tightest of shots at a track that size.

    Kevin raced so well. fast and clean. Got spun out lost like 15 spots and fought his way back to the front... amazing! Also... Really good burnouts on the pad!

      Kevin got done dirty once again. Would really like to see black flags become a thing here. They wanna keep these cars all year but they let Nick Sous and Pastrana and others keep treating it like a demo derby with no repercussions. Just doesn't make sense.

      14:15 Yeah that was a dirty intentional PIT that should've been DQed for unsportsmanlike conduct..

    Seeing the guys just all supporting Lia was the most heart warming thing I've seen in awhile. She's coming for the throne. I love it.
