BF Goodrich Tires - The KDW Shotgun Challenge

Ready for a ride? The concept was simple - regular people, tuned cars and professional drivers. BF Goodrich decided to pump some new attention into their g-Force T/A KDW dry/wet street tire with the KDW Challenge. The event, which is planning on visiting multiple cities and tracks throughout the US, takes and invites regular people off of the street and brings them to the track.

The first event kicked off at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and had regular people just off the street. They showed up to be greeted by the presence of the NuFormz Formula Drift Dodge Viper, Spoon Sports / Opak Racing Accord Euro R and Civic Type-R, Works Lancer Evo X and Drift Emporium supercharged V8 Infiniti G35. These lucky visitors were treated to ride-alongs with such pro drivers as Sam Hubinette and Dave Brown. Multiple cameras, including some in-car units, captured the action as well as the passengers’ reactions.

For some of these passengers, this was their first time at a racetrack and their first time feeling extreme lateral-g loads in a car. Of course, it didn’t help that the drivers on hand were trying to give as exciting a ride as possible for the cameras. We heard that at least one passenger got green gills after his ride. But if one thing is for sure, it’s that this is an event that they won’t soon forget. After flying sideways in the 850hp drift Viper, we’re sure that they’ll be thinking about those BF Goodrich KDW tires.
