my best time of the day was a 13.53 on the factory Pirelli p zeros and A/C running had a blast plan on going back next year with slicks
2014 5.0 MT track pack

was that your first time ever racing the car at a track?

I ask because of the high time slip and you were running the a/c.

AC turns off under WOT so that doesn't matter much

Hi time due to the street tires and no traction until eight mile

Plus that place is the worst for traction.

The runway is in bad shape. Soon as you land on O15 your better off shutting off your engine and pushing it back or back peddling to taxiway. Chunks of the asphalt tend to come up.

It was on a runway? Ok that explains it. Sorry, not familiar with Kingdons.

lol.. I took my car for the shootout on Friday. I was spinning @ 1200' They tried to repair the cracks with epoxy. But it was just getting pulled up, and leaving dust. We asked them to broom it off, and they told me it was street racing rules, and that some streets are like that. We laughed after he asked up what we would do if we were on the street. Told him we would either use a broom, blower, or move.. Dude just rolled his eyes and walked off.

Going to Kingdon isn't about going fast. It's about Nostalgia, and fun. It's about racing where your Father, or Grandfather raced.
