Brian Deegan
All week at X Games Brian Deegan was running strong in his factory Rockstar Ford Fiesta! His practice lap times were on par or better than the top guys, and getting faster every time as he got more comfortable with more seat time. In Deegan’s first heat he pinned it on the big jump, over clearing it and smashing up the front of the car. He still won the heat and advanced to the quarter finals, but did so without a functioning turbo. The damage to the turbo woould be too much to get the car working well enough to keep up with the top guys. He was pretty pissed, but there is not much you can do about heavy mechanical problems…there’s always next year!
