Lucy Block, wife of the late Ken Block, will honor the rally driver’s legacy by competing at this year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Already an accomplished rally driver in her own right with a string of top-10 class finishes in National and Regional rallying in the U.S.

Lucy will join daughter Lia, who is set to drive the Hoonipigasus up the Peak in an untimed run.

The city’s landmark Right to Counsel law was the country’s first to guarantee legal representation in housing court to low-income tenants most at risk for eviction. But advocates and providers say it's been undermined in recent months as the courts schedule eviction cases faster than there are available housing attorneys to take them. “When the law was first passed, it worked,” Ruth Riddick, a Flatbush tenant, testified Friday at a city hearing on the initiative.

Inside the action sports icon and the NASCAR champions longtime friendship and their quests to qualify for the Daytona 500.

Lia and Lucy Block will officially finish the 2023 ARA season following the tragic passing of Ken Block. The Blocks will make their season debut at the 100 Acre Wood Rally.
