Tanner Foust beats Ken Block "at his own game"
 

[QUOTE]When the smoke cleared this weekend at the inaugural Ken Block Invitational Gymkhana Grid event at Toyota's Irwindale Speedway, Tanner Foust had claimed the top spot. The head-to-head event, which had drivers like Foust, Vaughn Gittin Jr., Andrew Comrie-Picard and host Ken Block cording brand-new tires in a matter of minutes, pitted powertrains (AWD or RWD) in the same brackets to keep things interesting. After several rounds of eliminations, it came down to just Foust and Block for the final – both drivers in similar 550 horsepower AWD Ford Fiestas. In the best-of-three sprints, Block ran nearly flawlessly, but Foust demonstrated inhuman levels of car control (720-degree spins just inches from a barrel) to take the first two races and the resulting overall win.

?? I think he is pretty clear about being disappointed. I am sure he expected some stiff competition running against someone who has been drifting for years...not to mention some really good rally drivers.

Besides, if I were the event host, I would be pissed at the d-bag announcer. Talking about "The guy that came and pissed on your couch" on a televised event is a dip**** move.

Foust is super talented no doubt. Not only is he a drifter and rally racer, he also just raced in the Lucas Oil Off-Road series and placed 5th or 6th his first time in a truck.

lol Ken shouldve stuck with Subaru

haha great

I don't see how this is relevant unless you're just stating this as a standalone opinion.
