BFGoodrich’s KDW Shotgun Challenge: Las Vegas

25 passengers. 7 race cars. 5 pro drivers. 1 heck of a ride.

On July 12, BFGoodrich is taking over the Outfield Road Course at Las Vegas Motor
Speedway and putting 25 people into the passenger seats of high-performance cars
fitted with KDW tires. Several Formula D cars will be part of the event, including
the Nuformz Viper SRT-10 (with Sam Hubinette driving) and two Supercharged Infiniti
G35s from Drift Emporium. Every ride along will be filmed from four angles, so you
won’t miss a single moment of the pro drivers pushing the tires (and the passengers)
to the limit.

Visit bfgoodrichtires.com/kdw for more details and live coverage. And be sure to
check back a few weeks later for the full video highlights.

Rest assured…some passengers will love it, some will hate it, and some might lose
their lunch.
