Stillwater, OK is known for big mud seasons, and this year is no exception. Check out this note that Kenny sent us from the road. The last thing I'd heard from Kenny was his bicycle trip with Pastrana, Johnson, and Special Greg. Currently Kenny has a full schedule of FMX demos at Supercross races, but not enough to keep him from getting back home to good ol' Stillwater, Oklahoma - and mud season. Good thing he knows how to drive better than some Prius owners.
"The last rally I went to, and maybe my best race ever, was Rally of Nations Mexico last summer, but I just wanted to share a funny story about how great my Subaru is! I live out in the country in OK, it is 4 miles of dirt roads to get to my house. When it rains, there is one hill in particular that is very slippy and very crowned - in fact, I've been in the ditch twice while driving a 4x4 truck!
"Today on my way into town it was currently raining. I saw, off in the distance an F350 stuck in the ditch and two young adults looking at how they were going to get their truck out. I kept my momentum and just drove right on past them - no matter how much I like it, I wasn't going to pull out an F350 in a WRX.
"At the top of the hill, I stopped and peeked my head out the window, hollaring to see if they had help on the way. The look on their face was priceless, the dude in a Station Wagon, just made it up the hill that their 4x4 F350 didn t. I love my WRX!
"Turns out they had help on the way, and when I came back from town, they were gone. But I'll never forget the look on their faces!"
