    ESPN will add the discipline of SuperRally to its sports lineup this summer and has announced the first wave of invited athletes for the 16th annual action sports competition to be held in Los Angeles July 29 – Aug. 1, 2010. SuperRally will join the discipline of Rally Car Racing, already in its fifth year at X Games, on Saturday night of the four-day event at the Los Angeles Coliseum.

    The new SuperRally event takes on the ever popular Euro-centric sport of Rallycross in a sprint style form of auto racing that features heats of four drivers racing wheel-to-wheel on a dirt track. The field will consist of 12 drivers who will complete a time trial session to determine the starting grid in the three, four-lap, Elimination heat races. The winner of the Elimination heats and the highest seeded driver who has not yet advanced will compete in a four-lap last chance qualifier (LCQ). The winner of the LCQ will join the winners of the Elimination heat races in the five-lap final race.

    “SuperRally is a perfect fit for X Games and will bring all of the most extreme parts of motorsports into one event,” said three-time X Games Rally medalist Tanner Foust. “There’s door-to-door racing, sliding off road, jumps and the cars can do 0-60 mph in less than 2.5 seconds! These are some of the fastest production-based racecars on the planet, and the thought of ripping them around the iconic columns of the Los Angeles Coliseum is simply over the top — again, perfect for X Games.”

    I eventually trashed that and made an even simpler white on black page with some links, somw google ads and search at one point… Way back machine has copies of this here: Archive.org

    I eventually got banned from google ad sense so I removed the search and ads, and just put up a script that randomly displayed a different picture on refresh.

    That page was around up until yesterday, when I decided to attempt switching it all over to HTML5 / CSS.  When I was finished, I guess I realized that there really was no point of having a “home” page anymore.  Everything can be communicated much easier via this blog, or Social Media like Twitter and Facebook.

    http://djdefy.com and http://djdefi.com redirect straight to this Blog now.  I will likely do some more tweaks in the future to make it more friendly as my new “home” page.

    Cheers to @Wordpress for making it possible :-)
