This year Ford and Monster Energy came together to present the “Ford Out Front” and the Monster Unleash the Beast Party. It featured the skillful Monster Energy Stunt Bike team and a demo performed by none other than the two biggest names in Ford Monster Energy Racing, Ken Block and Vaughn Gitten Jr. We had the opportunity today to watch the 85 million hit Youtube sensation Ken Block and the 2010 Formula Drift champion rip it up in front of everyone.
Every year the SEMA Show offers something new and exciting to it’s visitors. Special unveiling’s, celebrities and some kick-ass driving, the show never disappoints.
This is Block’s purpose built Gymkhana car not to be confused with his Rally car.
Block handled the tight course with ease and it was unreal to see in person.
At points there was so much smoke you could not see all the action, only smell it.
The 2010 Formula D champ getting ready to lay it down.
This car is loud but not still not as powerful or loud as his competition car. The extra 300 hp from his FD car would have been useless on a course this size.
Even though it is his demo car it still rocks HRE’s and he put on an unreal show.
The crazy part of all of this was at one point the course today contained chaos. Block, Vaughn and four stunt riders all graced the course for the craziest tandem/donut show I have ever seen. But that is a different story… or video for another time.
