Ken Block (pictured above on Rally Colorado) got back to winning ways on the LSPR this weekend with a dominant win where he recorded fastest time on 11 of the 17 stages.

The victory for the Subaru Rally Team USA driver on the Lake Superior Performance Rally lifted him to second overall in the Rally America National Championship.

Ken Block commented to rally-america.com:

I'm glad to end the season with the win.

Now I've got some momentum going into next year, so I'm happy."

Kyle Sarasin was an excellent 2nd again for the third time in a row. Sarasin challenged early on for the lead but an electrical problem dropped him time and he decided to settle for second.

Travis Pastrana was third and had his Subaru Rally Team USA mentor, John Buffum, sitting with him on this occasion for what they promised would be a fun event. Polish championship regular Andi Mancin made his RA debut on this event and claimed fourth in his Evo 9 ahead of Doug Shepard in a Dodge.

Pat Moro claimed PGT honours in 6th driving a Subaru WRX and he also won the Production GT championship in the process.
