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

[spoolin d dub]

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.''

[turbotalon1g]

1/4 yes, roll racing sure, 1/2 = fail for auto car.

5858 would be badass on your car, 550whp and great response/TQ

Rev to 9k and put that shit in 4th.

This looks like fun! Hope they have on site nitrous.

[C3L1CA]

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

[awd-drifter]

looks fun as heck! wish my car could do 180....180kph! -_-...

I was thinking that I could just put it in 4th, would be sweet to see how it pulls thru 4th

[niterydr]

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.

Will it be done by then?

[Tachyon]

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

no bikes

[93gtpeater]

No bikes sucks. My car not fast enough for this. But It would still make for a good weekend tho.

[Goat Blower]

Hmmm, now I really need the taller 5th gear, was planning on getting it anyways, now it's easier to justify.
