RIP Ken Block

wtf is happening here in utah lately. 2 fatalities at PCMR over the holiday weekend and lots of SAR call-outs. Condolences to his family. I geeked out on him when i was a teenager. he had a sick house in PC too.
 
Yeah that’s a solid fucking L to start 2023. At least he was probably having fun before he passed.
 
Shit's nuts. The original gymkhana vids were the shit back in the day. Plus he broke his back jumping a fuckin impreza on a booter in a park. Legend. RIP
 
Thanks for showing me Gymkhana. Altered the way I drive today. Thanks for giving rally a larger american presence.

Rest In Love
 
God this is like that same feeling when Erik Roner died … punch in the gut type of loss ?

I remember meeting him up in Maine when he rallied for Subaru back in like 2010. I was 13, totally startstruck. I was lucky enough to be able to chill w him for a hot minute behind the scenes where their cars get fixed (my older cousin worked in the pit crew for subie) Him, Dave Mira and Travis… Nicest guy. Everyone always says that but it was true! They talked to us like a friend, and actually laughed at our jokes n what not. They let us in on what’s in store for them in the future, and everything they said eventually came true. I also remember him and Travis not leaving until every single kid/fan got an autograph or souvenir.

Awesome role models. Will be missed dearly. Glad to see NS payin respects

RIP #43
 
From snowpark in the glory days. Funny when you think about it that after the place closed down the park setups it got bought as a testing place for cars.

Heavy weekend for WCSAR. This and multiple other call-outs for snowmobilers stranded or hurt. Crazy what happened. There is such thing as too deep of snow. Shit's insane out there, like nipple deep in some spots. Always keep eyes-on your buddies.
