I know FSJ guys aren't the hardest-core followers of a rally driver, but he died today (3/2/23) in a snowmobile accident--it came down on him and he was pronounced dead on scene. I'm guessing most people on here know who he was at least.

His oldest daughter just got her license and her Audi Quattro back together.

Be safe out there everyone, stuff DOES happen, even to the pros.

I have been a big fan and follower of his for a really long time. Well before gymkhana videos and such. Never got the chance to meet him. Out of all the crazy things he has done over the years, its sad that something like this took him from the world.

It’s a sad day.

This is very much worth a watch:

I haven't watched that one yet...probably should. I've been watching the videos (they're pretty old) of Lia learning to drive faster and faster cars, followed by the Hoonicorn.

All the Block stuff is incredible to watch though, Lia or Ken. Both are/were incredibly good drivers.

I was about two minutes too late to seen Ken go by in 2021 at the Bunyan Rally...never thought that'd be the closest I ever got. Sure heard him though :-bd
