asskicker polonez edition

don’t know who took the photo, but I edited it, so it’s not original. taken at some polish rally recently.

and to think lancia delta innagrollies and mg metro 6r4s get all the vintage rally coverage...
might dump some rally polonezes later.

Always liked the quad-headlight Polonez. Wouldn’t mind importing a later pre-Daewoo Polonez Caro at some point after I get my 126....because why not? :P

3 wheel motion is always a plus. (I don’t recognize the car though)

Lucky to be in Poland. We don’t get to rally much in the US. No mountains. Well no mountains anyone cares to utilize for rallying. :P

I’m in the States at the moment. I always wondered why rally didn’t catch on here... after all you don’t NEED mountains...

Well, at the time drag racing (funny car, top fuel dragster) were what were marketed (old school hot rod fad I guess). Then IROC, NASCAR stock car racing was the next marketed thing. There was BMX and Supercross, but other types of motorsports like touge or Formula 1 or drifting or rally weren’t distributed around the country.

For a while the Speed Channel had rallying on TV & it was cool, but I was always thinking after a while “this probably won’t make any directors of US based motorsports start putting rally stages together for US fans”

True point on the other motorsports dominating the scene. I have this theory that maybe Americans are too preoccupied with big horsepower that they won’t give those dinky little European/Asian racers a closer look as they’re not V8 powered...
