Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
Well I don't have national guard, but I'd be game for this event I'd have to rent a trailer if I wanted to take my POS for racing down there.
However, if we get a big enough crew I'll go down a pit monkey for sure.

This would be cool. Too bad it's in Chicago. Probably a little farther than I'll be able to venture with the talon. I would love to see what it could do though

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
You're not launching full throttle, chances of breaking stuff for this are a lot less than short track stuff.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
This sounds like a great precursor to the shootout, plus I'm excited to start driving my shitbox to events like this. I don't miss trailering it around.

Re: Chicago Half-Mile Shootout - June 1st-2nd 2013
^Same time Aaron did 
Screw real racing, bench racing is way more fun! Nothing ever breaks, you always have a perfect pass with a perfect launch, and run quicker than the guy on the interwebs!
