Video of the Week: Ken Block Edition
With Ken Block's passing on Monday, it felt only appropriate that this week's video of the week focus on him.
Obviously, Block had a YouTube channel, but I thought pulling a video from there or linking to it would be too easy. Instead, I found this touching tribute video from the Dirtfish Rally School.
Give it a look here and relive Block's career.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Never heard of Mr. Block before this but RIP sir.
I'd love to visit DirtFish and take a run around their course. They've been featured on a couple of episodes of Roadkill.
I've seen tons of tributes to Ken Block this week, from everyone from Randy Pobst to Jonny Liberman, to Chris Jacobs, to Jay Leno. An amazing talent gone too soon.
