KEN BLOCK EXPLAINS HIS RALLY AMERICA CHAMPIONSHIP ENDING CRASH AT LSPR 2013


Ken Block became famous for his series of Gymkhana
videos, but he's a real racer in his own right. Block has competed many
rounds in the FIA World Rally Championship and also rallied in the 2013
Rally America series. He nearly won that latter title last year – if
not for a massive crash in the final event of the season.

Block and his co-driver Alex Gelsomino went into the Lake Superior
Performance Rally needing a win to take the championship. However,
missing a clump of dirt on the side of the road and one little word in
the pace notes was all it took to catapult Block's Fiesta off the road
and into a tumbling accident. Block says his initial reaction was anger
because the crash came out of nowhere.
