What we’re not sure of is the message being sent with these “Obama Can’t Gymkhana” stickers that are being circulated at redneck speed freak events.

Why is it nonsense more than chocolate covered bacon? Give it a rest. This isn't conservative or liberal, its funny and it becomes motorsports news when the FIA bans it. You took the bait. I'm disappointed.

I don't get it?

It's unfunny and it rhymes at least-- why ban it?

Yo llama can't Gymkhana!

Ken Block can't gymkhana either-- Foust beat him on his own course WITH a penalty.

Well apparently Ken Block can't either, he lost at his own event. :lol:
^Just saw Palero's post.

I should make bumper sticker that says: "Ken Block can't drive without 500 takes"
