Along with his 16-year-old co-driver.
Ken Block has done a little bit of everything. He s competed in rallying at all levels domestically and internationally. He s done dirt bikes and X Games and of course Gymkhana in a custom all-wheel-drive Ford Mustang. He also likes to go nuts on a side-by-side or two. This year he s trying something new: desert racing at the top level at the Baja 1000. And he s bringing the fresh-faced, 16-year-old Jax Redline with him, who s only had his driver s license for six months.
Block is also reintroducing his racing Ford Escort Cosworth - Cossie V2 - and he s using it to train the young pup how to rally drive before he goes to test his mettle at the New England Forest Rally. Block wants Redline to add the skill to his repertoire, which he says translates well to desert racing. Block did once compete in the Baja in a desert buggy, but showed up late and end
