Also, Ford told Ken no on putting him in a WRC car. Even the people that have bought there rides, at least have had some success prior to showing up in the WRC. BRC, Italian Championships, PWRC, JWRC, APRC, etc.

For sure, Lance is no dummy.

From rally online:

Ken Block zapowiada, ¿e na decyzjê o powstaniu jego zespo³u w RMŒ trzeba poczekaæ do stycznia. Sprawy id¹ jednak dobrze i Amerykanin liczy na wysêepy w samochodzie WRC razem z Chrisem Atkinsonem.
- Wci¹¿ negocjujemy umowy - mówi Ken Block dla RallySportMagazine - Wszystko powinno byæ zamkniête i oficjalnie og³oszone na pocz¹tku stycznia.

G³ównym sponsorem ekipy ma byæ Monster Energy Drinks. Block i Atkinson najprawdopodobniej bêd¹ u¿ywaæ Focusów WRC z M-Sportu.

Powrót


I think they are saying that we will have to wait (hold our collective breath) until January for the "big" announcement. ;-)

Didn't John kill himself trying something similar while waiting for Grant to call him?

You'd be amazed at how many beers I can kill off while talking on the phone to John. Four PBRs and a couple cigarettes.

You know that feeling you get when you lean back too far in your chair and you almost fall over but you catch yourself at the last second?

I feel like that all the time.

Reality is just a crutch for those who can't handle drugs.

All this high-dollar sideshow might not be such a good idea, there is at least one youtube of Mr. Block hitting a camera man. Might not be the best example for the kids.
