Default Backwards racing??? KING OF THE CONCRETE '11

Check out the highlight video from King of the Concrete 2011

http://www.1320video.com/king-of-the...te-2011-video/

I know some of you will ask, "WTF are you doing racing backwards?!" I guess you'll just have to come race and find out next time. It's a race you have to experience, the racers, the crowd, it was one of my favorite races of the year.

Kyle

P.S. The photo's from the event can be found here - http://www.1320video.com/405s-king-of-the-concrete/

Pretty cool event I'd say. How much did the winner take home?

That was cool seeing the video was at Thunder Valley here in Oklahoma. Butch DeMoss is from the town I grew up in. He's got some pretty wicked cars

Racing toward concrete divider is asking for trouble, not sure what the point of this was. Why not just be normal and use track as designed?

The point is to not have a prepped track surface to start on so that its like street racing.

All(well most if not all) of those cars racing are street racers.
