Ken Block popped over the big pond recently for the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed and showed the excited crowd of Brits how us ‘mericans like to hoon. Mr. Block was Goodwood’s 2010 hooning champion and this year he successfully defended his title and is still the reigning king of hoon. Check out the action below.

Saturday, July 23rd, 2011THIS IS WHY PIKES PEAK IS SCARY (video)
Monday, June 27th, 2011Some of the world’s best drivers are still put in their place by Pikes Peak. Bobby Regester and his modified Pontiac Sunfire found that out this past weekend when he literally drove off a cliff. Luckily for Bobby, he didn’t continue all the way down the mountain thanks to a very well placed boulder and he was actually able to walk away from the crash. Unfortunately, he is now suffering from permanent puckered-up disorder though.
ALL TAXI RIDES SHOULD BE LIKE THIS (video)
Monday, April 4th, 2011As long as you are getting overcharged by someone you don’t even know to drive around aimlessly, you might as well enjoy it, right? The folks up in Norway know how to do it right. Hell, I’d take the taxi everywhere I had to go if I lived there!
Rally driving + snowboarding= PURE AWESOME (video)
Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010Wyatt Knox of Team O’Neil Rally School in Dalton, NH, recently decided to mash up two of my personal favorite sports, Rallying and Snowboarding. The outcome was quite impressive as you can see below. I think it’s safe to say that Mr. Knox is the first person to ever railslide a log with a ’92 Subaru Legacy. High five to Wyatt!
SEMA 2010 HIGHLIGHT! (video)
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010Ahhh, Vegas. Where everything is at least a 30 min walk away and the cost of one drink could feed your family for a week. After being at the SEMA show last week and seeing all the latest and greatest cars and products, one of the best memories was watching Ken Block do a live drifting show. Check out the clip and enjoy!
the wait is over: Gymkhana 3. (video)
Wednesday, September 15th, 2010After the amazing Gymkhana 2 we’ve all been waiting for numero 3, and it’s finally here. Ken Block once again proves his driving prowess, this time in a highly modified Ford Fiesta with 650hp/660 lb-ft of torque at the wheels built by Olsbergs MSE from Sweeden. It was filmed at an amazing location just south of Paris called l’Autodrome de Linas in Linas, France. Built in 1924, the 1.58 mile oval track has massive banks that can reach as steep as 51 degrees. And if you wanna be like Block, click here.
Travis Pastrana vs. Mt. washington (video + pics)
Tuesday, September 14th, 2010New Hampshire had a visit from good ‘ol rally/motocross legend Travis Pastrana last week. And while Mr. Pastrana was in the Granite State, he just happened to set a new record by driving up the Mt. Washington Road faster than anyone else. The previous record was set in 1998 by Frank Sprongl, who reached the top in 6:41.99. Pastrana set a time of 6:20.47…..first try. Tip of the hat to Travis and Redbull for making some rally history, and in our own backyard!
Coolest bottle opener ever. period. (video)
Friday, September 3rd, 2010Chris Forsberg is a drifting god. The 2009 Formula Drift Champion has found a very inventive way of opening a nice frosty beverage. Instead of using your typical key chain bottle opener, or even being the tough guy that uses their teeth, Chris uses a Nissan 350Z. Badass? Indeed.

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima takes his 897 horsepower, 654 pound-feet of torque Suzuki SX4 up the hill for a little drive. His nickname might be monster, but the car he drives definitely proves to be one too. Check out the vid, and peep those cliffs towards the top. No thanks!
