The first thought into Ken Block's head after driving the 1100hp Geiser Bros Trophy truck was: "That was rad...but can it Gymkhana? " The obvious solution to this was to try it out and make this video. We went to Irwindale Speedway and set up a legitimate Gymkhana Grid course (the same layout used for 2013 x-games), brought out the Hoonigan crew, and spent the day thrashing - all in the name of science. Because this is science, we needed something to compare the Trophy Truck's runs with. So we brought out 3x Formula Drift Champion - Chris Forsberg in his competition car to lay down a benchmark run. Just for safe measure, we got Hoonigan's very own, Hert to rip some laps in the "Shart Kart" to see what a more "normal" car could do. Will this help Ken prepare for the 1000? Probably not. But it was a good excuse to hammer on a truck, rip donuts, and have a good time with our buds.

Its time for MORE speed science! Since we had the 1100 hp Gieser Bro's G6 Trophy Truck, 375hp Subaru WRX STI rally car, 375hp Ford Escort Cossie V2, and my wife's Ford Fiesta R2, we figured we would solve the great debate to see which is faster on a simple course. Could a 197 hp rally car actually be faster than an 1100 hp trophy truck? Watch and find out!

Welcome to Whoopocalypse Now! This is the first of an 8 episode series documenting my road to the Baja 1000. I’ll be racing with 16-year-old rising star Jax Redline, in a Trophy Truck (built by Geiser Bros) - so, to make things interesting, we’re putting Jax behind the wheel of one of my favorite rally cars (my Ford Escort Cossie V2) so that he can further his own skill set in a rally race! We’ve even wrapped it in the same “It’s A Living” livery as my Subaru STI & Tuthill Safari Porsche rally cars.
