Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
For those who like to go fast..more than a 1/4mi..
''For the first time at an airstrip in the Windy City, screaming exhaust and race gas will permeate your senses as sports cars, muscle cars and hot rods make their way down a private airstrip. Got the itch for speed? wannaGOFAST and TheChicagoGarage present the Chicago Half-Mile Shootout at Bult Airport, located 40 miles south of downtown Chicago in Monee, Illinois. On June 1st and 2nd, man up, dump the clutch and hold on for a half-mile down Bult Airfield's private 5,001-foot runway. See what it’s like to finally race without the restrictions of speed limits on your own private interstate! Participation as a racer is open to the public and limited to 150 cars each day so be sure to register early -- spots will fill quickly. Don’t have a car? Don’t fret, because spectating is open to the public on both days as well.''

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
Seems pretty sweet. They allow bikes?
I wonder if they'll try sweeping up the airway better for the actual race day? The pictures always looked like a cloud of dust was behind the cars which doesn't seem very good for high hp cars and traction

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
Hmm...wish this was available when I had the blue car. Guess I'll have to try to see what a "built" 13t powered 3/s can do in the standing 1/2 mile (build permitting).
I have to keep this one on the radar.

So is the event actually going to be called "Race Wars?"
