Editor's Note: Indeed, this has been a video-heavy day, so maybe this will be the last video of the day. Maybe.
What would you do if Ken Block showed up at a DiRT 2 launch event and offered to take you for a ride in his WRX STI rally car? You'd say yes.
But would you scream? These fans sure did. Gives new meaning to the phrase "scream like a girl," doesn't it?
This video is an interesting contrast the other Block video that came out today -- his practice session with Chris Atkinson in a rear-drive '78 Ford Escort Mk2.

Hmmm, that looks a lot more like his rally car by SRT than his gymkhana car.
Where do I sign up? =)

@waevox: You're right. The brain fade was mine. I've edited the post, but your correction was appropriate and welcome. - Erin Riches

I wander how would he perform against world rally racers such as Loeb or Hirvoven. Is he ever going to go professional and start participating in WRC?

I love how enthusiastic the crowd was getting. Something tells me you wouldn't get that in North America, heh.

Ken Block has participated in some P-WRC events (search for Ken Block New Zealand Mexico P-WRC) in a Subaru Impreza WRX STI. He hasn't run with the Group A WRC participants yet. With Subaru World Rally Team leaving the WRC after 2008, who knows if he or more importantly, Travis Pastrana will ever compete in the WRC. That said, perhaps Ken Block could use some of his DC Shoes money to field a team.
