It's sealed! When did they seal it?

It was better when it was dirt.

Safety first Mate!!
been sealed bit by bit over a long time,,

You gotta wonder if he did just one run sans all the smoke,,
be a big temptation to his ego,,,




go and watch Climbdance and then rewatch Blocks run and look for all the bits Block nods too,,

I thought Ken`s drive was impressive for the majority of it one handed,
But Pedro is right Climbdance on dirt is more spectacular and faster i reckon craps all over Ken and his Media circus
So for the few unable to google

Remember, at the theatre, before the main feature we used to get a short.
I remember in the mid eighties, for a short, they played an Audi Quattro flying up Pikes Peak. That was the first time I heard of that event.
Then, some years later, again at the theatre, they played Climb Dance with the Pug. Yep. Butt clenching, edge of your seat stuff.
Especially on the big screen.

Ken Block, his performance was polished. That is what the Americans do, get an exciting performance and polish the excitement out of it.
But it is a finely polished performance worthy of viewing.

Yep, the dirt was so much more exciting.

The Quattro and the Pug runs were all about time and speed. The Mustang run was pure entertainment (and good entertainment I might add.)
