I don't understand people who hate him, but I also laugh at people who worship him.
He's just another dude, having fun with cars because he loves them. In the course of going out and having fun with his hobby, he's also gotten damn good at it!
When he went to WRC and all his fanboys were like OMG YESSS, I just figured "this is going to be harder than he thinks", but in his very first interview he showed that he was realistic and knew it was going to be a huge challenge. He was straight up honest about it and said he had the biggest respect for the drivers who are in WRC and he knew he wasn't going to start winning events, he just wanted to finish and get used to the car and the pacenote style.
He did way better than I expected, and I think surprised a lot of his doubters too.
Ken always finished with the WRC cars though. When Pastrana went to WRC, he was getting beatin by cars two classes lower...
KEN's the MAN, and if you dropped him in a RWD car at Irwaindale, I bet you by the end of the day he would be better than 90% of dudes on this forum.
