Ken who?

Go beat him up already and call it good, the jealousy of his success is annoying.

Successfully failing?

Successfully failing?

Last time I checked no one I know makes nearly as much money, poked as many hot bishes (assumingly), or has as much fun at their day job.

He's not great at racing, but it looks pretty damn fun and I would prolly try to do it too if I were rich.

Notwithstanding the implications of the article, Block was only displaced for the newly conceived, "Global RallyCross." Despite the clever marketing, this series so far has consists of the Europeans coming over here with their mature and experienced teams, and shit kicking the crap out of our nation’s finest. I am it will become more geographically competitive with time and resources and it’s encouraging to see companies like Ford, Hyundai, and BMW investing in this style of racing.


And since I guess this thread IS about Block, let’s see how he’s doing in the big leagues:


Rally Mexico – Ken block finishes 1:04:04.7 off the pace of the leader. There were some electrical issues with the car, and he was forced to retire on the first day and restart under super rally rules.


Waiting for a clean rally to get a good indication of where his skills are at.

Lol you really edited my post? When I didn't do anything out of line or against the Terms of Service.

Way to abuse your moderator powers Kracka...

Only nuts swingers are you haters that swing from Blocks nuts because he is more successful than you. Glad so many people have these mentalities these days.

[DSM_421]
