Wow, they must serve some strong kool aid in Chitown! So how is a 3200lb AWD car with 1750whp going to be slow at low speeds?

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

even at TX2k the average UGR lambo is not making 1750whp (not even close lol). Just as the common GTR is not an omega. the most common R35 is an alpha 9.

go thru this. These super car forums are going crazy!

UGR informed me they didnt realize it would end up like this. was like WOW look at all those GTR's lol. yes'ir. I tried to told them lol. They said they may just come to the next Chicago 1/2 Mile SO :wink:.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

That is UGR's top package, hence why I said the big dogs. We have a race version in the twin cities, might want to track him down and see if he wants to represent. Just search for Sloss.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

There's only four pages in that linked thread and the last post was in January. I wouldn't call that going crazy. There's not much on 6speed or luxury4play either.

I get what you're trying to do, you're just being unrealistic in your claims that this will kill off TX2k.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

they still have spots open. You track him down. If he wants to run he welcome to lol. I'll even connect him to a ticket.


thats not the only forum lol. i never stated it would kill off tx2k. I stated the races are going to be better lol. By far. Come see for yourself lol.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

Haha does sloss even have his car back? Last I heard it was getting fixed again.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

So is this event going to be mostly at the airstrip, or after hours on the street? I'm confused. I'd actually like to come see this and could probably bring a couple car enthusiasts along, but we don't really have fast cars so we would not be racing.

I can't help but notice how close this event is to Chicago Heights, not exactly a friendly place (I have been there a couple times during the day, would not want to be there at night).

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

The top speed event in from 8am-6pm june 1-2. Chicago is a huge city lol there is plenty to do afterwards. There will be cruises to local hang out spots, fun on certain streets and highways (I'm sure people will have stuff lined up etc), and family things to do (dave and buster etc). Some talking about hitttin up a few bars etc. This event is in Monee close to Crete IL, nothing like the heights lol. There is plenty of money in Monee and you will be safe lol. And your car doesnt have to be fast. That's not whats its about. Just come watch, hang out, and have a good time.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

I am going down to watch some fast cars. Hopefully at night we can get some highway rolls going. I would like to see some good street racing when I am down there.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

Oh you going to get what you what you looking for lol. Its going to be a awesome weekend lol.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

UGR got back to me. Here's their response.

UGR:WOW. Thats a lot of GTR's. I think they are coming to the next TI event.

Me:i tried to email you guys a few months ago. its more then that. Topspeed motorsportcoming to with GTRs and lambo's etc.

Then there are some 7 and 8 sec drags and street cars running. over 150 car cap for regular per day and even more cars per day for the vendor shoot out. could be 250+ cars per day


UGR: Maybe we will come to the next one.

Me:look forward to seeing UGR. This event is going to blow up and nobody get down like chit-town with racing.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

Damn it's going to kind of suck to get drug by a car on a bike lol

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

I hope the gtrs are ready for some highway action.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

Ok. There has been talk of rain by weather people for Saturday 40-60%. The Event may be postponed to the following weekend if this happens. They will have a decision by 3pm tomorrow.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
 

Please post as soon as you know. We are are waiting on the forecast before making the haul down there.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
