It's hard to believe Ken Block has been gone for four months. Known to most of us through his Gymkhana videos, he was a unique talent who died too soon from a snowmobile accident. As an incredible driver, successful entrepreneur, and family man, his passing left a Hoonitron size hole in the world of motorsport. Fortunately, there is now an opportunity to celebrate his life and legacy in a way that's meaningful.
The Hoonigan website is advocating a petition to make April 3 into "4 3 Day" as a way to celebrate his life and accomplishments. Block's racing number is 43, which is synonymous with his name and the brands he co-founded, including DC Shoes and Hoonigan Industries. It is also commemorated in his foundation, the 43 Institute, which provides opportunities for people who lack the proper support system for growth and success.
