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.
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 .
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.

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
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).

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.

Oh you going to get what you what you looking for lol. Its going to be a awesome weekend lol.
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
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
event has a nice turn out. Buschur even shoed up. The shop never got to tune my car due to our schedule but Reichen did 1 or 2 pulls at 29psi to get afr's nice and safe. 1st pass Car ran 154.99 mph on the last minute tune. 2nd pass car was hauling ass. Car next to me jumped on me and ran 158mph. But I was pulling on him like a freight train lol then throttle cable broke in of 4th and I coasted to 153.87mph.
