Default First time wide open.

Came across an brand new school being built outside of town yesterday. I felt the vast empty parking lots of virgin asphalt taunting me as I rumbled by.

Turned around and went back like a kid running into a candy store. For the first time ever, I pushed the pedal to the floor in my new KC powered SPF. All I can say is it was absolutely freakin incredible.

Learned 2 things.

#1. Huge parking lots are not huge parking lots to this monster.

#2. Pull trigger only when perfectly straight.

Made a couple of 2nd gear runs back and forth across the empty grounds. The sound from the pipes was intoxicating. Got too excited and pulled the trigger too soon coming off an apex. Before I knew it, I was sliding sideways.

Now I can drift my supercharged Miata around an autocross track all day long. But I can not believe just how quickly this thing got away from me. It rotated around in the blink of an eye.

I have a new found respect for the car. I’m glad the snake bit me there, instead of on a street somewhere.
