Oh, and look at who was just given a $500,000 sponsorship to drive for Ford...

Ken who?

Re: Proof that Ken Block can't race
 

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

I love Ken Block, I don't care what the rest of you say!

Successfully failing?

Re: Proof that Ken Block can't race
 

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.

Re: Proof that Ken Block can't race
 

I should go post the events Matt D doesn't finish first in his AutoX.

Because I am so fucking pissed off that he drives an Evo and I don't,,, not to mention he is more successful than me IRL!! GRRRRRRR!!!

/sarcasm off

People who can't take jokes make me LOLOL

Re: Proof that Ken Block can't race
 

DC Shoes and Monster provide him with hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to race, and he fails to provide positive results every time. He's not a racer, he's a marketing genius. It's time for him to get out of the seat and let someone else drive who can actually win and for him to stick to what he does best: Make fancy videos.

Sincerely,

Your mom makes me LOL.

Does she tickle your taint?

I prefer to consider it the utilization of my power :p

Re: Proof that Ken Block can't race
 

At least he completes the events :D

Re: Proof that Ken Block can't race
 

I'm sure ripping around a parking lot in a lightly modded sedan takes the same amount of toll on the car that rally does. Not his fault that his team can't keep his car going strong?

Re: Proof that Ken Block can't race
 

So much anger in here from the pro-Block people.

Maybe this will cheer you up :D

Re: Proof that Ken Block can't race
 

A. It's a daily driver, not a fully prepped rally car.

B. It seems that Block can't finish many of his races because of offroad excursions (that, of course, couldn't be the fault of his immaculate driving).

C. Have you ever had a face to face encounter with him? Besides not being the worlds best driver, he has a horrible attitude towards the people that are there to help him out. The people that VOLUNTEER their time to make some of those events happen so he can race there.

All in all, he gets a big FAIL in my book. And that is an informed opinion, not a block-hater-nut-swinging opinion.

Re: Proof that Ken Block can't race
 

Travis Pastrana seemed like a nice guy in person at the rally events and was all about talking to the fans.

Re: Proof that Ken Block can't race
 

The world's best mechanic can't keep a car running after winds up in a ditch.

In 2010 he entered 7 out of 16 WRC events. He crashed in Mexico (18th), Portugal (retired, roll cage damage), France in pre-race testing, Spain (9th), and Great Britain in pre-race testing. He also entered 6 Rally America events in 2010 and only finished 1.
