“THE IDEA behind [Kingpin] was to have something that we could do pretty
much anything we wanted with it. It can be a show car, it can be a race car, it can
be a street car – you can really run it in any world that you want to. There’s no
real limit. It’ll do big tire, small tire, four-link, ladder bar. It’s put together like a
show car. You can street-drive it like a street car. I just made 3,100hp down on
FuelTech’s hub dyno. It’s just kind of a good all-world star.
“I want to do some radial stuff with it through the year. But it will mostly be
run in small-tire no-prep events. We’re going to run it in Limited Drag Radial, so
hopefully we’re going deep 4s. With the power and weight that we have, I think
we’ll be there.” – DYLAN GOACHER
