RIP Ken Block

Not 2-stroke related but the man was a master and a legend. So sad. His Gymkhana videos gave me chills and sweaty palms while watching them. Epic driving and footage.

Wow, that's horrible!

Sadness in our house. I see his influence when my son drives his kart.

Awe man. That is really tragic. He produced great stuff. Condolences to family and friends.

Although very sad, the man had at least three lifetimes of fun under his belt, and went out doing something he enjoyed! RIP Hoonigan.

He was perhaps the biggest positive influence on rally that has ever happened. For that, I can't thank him enough. Godspeed.
