Title: Mile run for $1000 - anyone near Chicago want to take it on?
Post by: FullTilt on November 28, 2004, 03:28:52 AM
Chicago folks seem to take their steet racing VERY seriously. Kings of the Street vid I've put together has gotten their hackles raised and they are crying foul because of the DVD title. This is kind of amusing as I'm very clear that what I'm doing is specifically NOT racing, but a certain type of person has trouble hearing that.

They've got some impressive hardware - a Supra that has done an 8.4 second quarter, some monster Mustangs and Camaros and such. They like to run from a dead stop and do a quarter mile mostly - on the street - at night - and with a minimum $1K bet to start the action. Again, this isn't really what I'm looking for, but the cars are interesting and it would be good video....

Now they say they've got something that will do a mile race from a dead stop. I know there are a few people out in the midwest from this board there who would probably not shy away from a situation like that. Their policy is hoods shut - run what you brung.

So, I'm curious .... anyone up for that? I've got the connection now and could help arrange it. Gonna be in Michigan for X-mas and New Year, so I'll be somewhat close by. Though, I'm sure it won't be bike friendly weather.

Like I said, no one is hateing, but with a title like "Kings of the Streets" you gotta prove it or knock down the kings.
A title like that is gonna get folks on you a lil, its very bold to say the least, but then again, so are we and were up to proving it.
We have shit that will run a flying miles as well, from a dead stop though....
Point is, we have been everywhere with all kinds of cars, from GM, ford, toyota you name it we got it.....they all drive every single day, and can go from Chicago to California.
Bottom line is, we wanna see that titles earned...offer still stands, lock in $1000.00 (that is just a lock up contract) bring some of YOUR fastest shit and well have our, heads up hoods shut drag race here in Chi-Town (that way it should be done and has been done for decades).....we can make it interesting, would make for great video, come get the title.......we'll have a paypal account ready for sidebets!

hmmm.

Sounds interesting...

I have seen some pretty stout Supras come out of Sound Performance, but don't know of any running 8.4's  :?

Besides, my bike is only geared to do around 195 right know, and I don't plan on really messing with it again until spring.

Not in this cold.  My bike won't be done untill the start of summer next year.  I don't know how they hooked up in Las Vegas.  My bike did nothing but spin every where.  Except at the track it hooked up good.
Funny thing is they had some of the fastes supras to race in vegas.  The bikes that were their were a little bit better then average, but were not shit compared to what is out their.  It would be awesome to see a bike like one of hanks race these cars.   :D
Shit if I were Hank I would race them title for title.  It would be sweet to have a bad ass supra.   :D

most likely knowing the chicago street racing scene theyll only want to do 1/4 mile races and theyll start unloading pro-mod style rides that couldnt go a full mile without a pan full of milked oil .  :lol:

They seem to like the 'don't ask', 'don't tell' format of racing. When they run, the hoods stay shut. I asked them about the mile format and running a bike to see if they would go for that.

$1K is the minimum to 'lock a contract' in.

Be cool to do this during winter, but I'm not sure if that is practical.

I would spin up every time I gave it gas.  I was riding with a bunch of bikes at 4 in the mourning down the interstete.  14? I think.  Long strait away stretch a little south of the strip.  A guy flew by on a stock 04 1000.  I gave it the gas to pass him and it did nothing but spin the tire.  Even at like 120 it did nothing but spin the tire.  I really wanted too, but wouldn't even think of hitting the nitrous.  It has the arm set at 8 inches, so I know that was hurting me alot, but it had a  new super soft pirreli slick on it.  It hooks great at the track.  No spin at all.  Even the guys with me at stock wheel base were spinning alot doing wheelies.

Cute quote by JucinGTA

Actually the mustang that makes a solo pass in the scandalous video on the street would destroy any of those cars and Bikes that are on the kings video.


He must have skipped over the Turbo Busa parts. From what i gather they also dissed all the other cars from Manny's Viper To Dana's Supra Trying to say "You have to beat the Kings". In other words those cars are "nothing".  I've heard of Dana's supra many times before. I've Heard of the DLM vipers. I've never heard of these Scandelous blokes. Sounds like a King Nothing Complex. :lol:

Forget going easy on them with a "Basic" Turbo Busa. Let Motorhead embarrass them bad enough so they'll permently remember who is king. 500+hp on two wheels. One mile. I hope they know about the Yancy's stock frame/stock wheelbase turbo busa hitting 250mph in one mile at 2 different venues. And that thing was only 425hp.

Be sure to get film of this Fulltilt. Should make for great comedy..providing they show up. Otherwise fuck'em. Just let 'em cry. You guys couldn't have made it any clearer what you were doing in preperation for the videos last year. One of them tried making excuses for one of their guys that wouldn't show up in vegas. Fact is their guys didn't show for whatever egotistacal reason so that's their problem their not on the video. I'm sure there's just as many car clubs around the country and world thinking the same thing this guy is. Well If ya don't show nobody else will know or care. If they wanna prove this bad enough they'll kick their little ego's and money clips to the curb and run for the reputation at stake.

First off, I race like we race in Philly.

You don't smell gas unless I see CASH. So that paypal shit is out.

Second of all, king of the streets can mean whatever the witer intends. He didn't say King of the 1/4 or king of the track. I'll run them for a mile, No biggie. Just tell them to bring my cash.

Post by: NICKSLICK on November 28, 2004, 05:37:30 PM
hell... ill go race again.

i havent written much on the subject, but let me tell you what i have learned from my experience in vegas.

1. if you have a mile on a car, he will NOT have the advantave of being geared to 160 like the car i raced. also, a strong turbo busa can easily run 200+ mph in a standing mile, whereas the car will likely not even be able to achieve that speed at all without using tall (read slower to accel) gearing. i think therefore that a strong turbo should have no problem dispatching with any challenger, period.

2. ive watched the video of my race a hundred times, and to me it looks to close to call, eithier way... assuming that the finish line is where "they put it". im not saying i didnt agree to the fact that we would race to his limiter, i did. this put me at a disadvantage that i was not aware of at the time, and that is that only one of us knew where the finish line was, and it wasnt me. my point is...  if i had put a grand on it, they would have tried to take my money... and i wouldnt have given it to them. racing for money can cause PEOPLE TO FIGHT. thats why its not worth it to me.

3. racing at night for money against the guys in the parking lot of the drag strip didnt appeal to me. (it did look like a fast car though!) while the road that we raced on by the bridge had 100% traction, i almost ate shit several times riding around the ICE covered streets of vegas. be careful on that shit. my point is, I am glad i didnt take that race, it was just to sketchy. unknown city, cops, unknown road, unknown opponent, questionable traction, and im sure other dangers.

4. do not underestimate a car. danas car was FAST. ive raced alot of bikes and cars and beat all of them except a mild turbo busa which got me by like 4 bike lengths! it was a testimate to dana to be able to match me as he did. i would say that i would be surprised if there are much faster cars than his within that speed range.

He ain't bullshittin anyone. I have a pretty mild 1397 Busa and have broke the tire loose on a dragstrip at 130mph. I can hit 160 in a quarter but just remember, we're only on 3 inches of tire. Also my bike has about 1/3 the power of hanks. I would bet on a lot of roads he could spin the tire at 160. If it's the bike i think he is talking about, we'll put it this way, He has more hp than the bike weighs. It would be like you having a 3000 pound car and your engine makes 3300hp.

Nice Site,

I thought this was on the Supraforums only....well, just a few thoughts.

First, I think fulltilts content is good, never was I or anyone from www.ScandalousRacing.com hating on his venture in this type of buisiness.

Street Kings refers to someone who is the "King of the street" in what capicity is left as to what the content of the movie is...obviously it is not about homeless people and which homeless guy is the king, we are talking about street racing as that what the trailers appears to show???

Well, real street racing is a 1/4 mile drag race for cash....we didnt ask for anyone from the surrounding area to come race for us, we said WE will have cars/bikes from the Chi-Town Street racing community that would love to try out some of YOUR vehicles...

No one is bent out of shape....what we are saying is, if you have a title that bold, prove it, we have gone and raced everwhere, the Chicago biys as well as the boys from houston are ont he map, they are known, people want to take them out, they just haven't yet. All we said is lock in for 1'g (that is just lock up money) bring some cars or bikes out and lets get down...on the street for some cash and have a grand ole time!

No need to worry about hooking up, our streets hook better than most tracks! But this can wait till the weather clears, just want to see if full tilt wants to get down??????

He produced that movie, I produced mine, differance is I street race, how about for round one me and full tilt go heads up (with vehicles that are titled in our names and we own)....call the amount????

BTW, we dont have a problem spotting someone out if they have shit that is alot slower than ours(exaple, if we have a pro stock car, we'd give you a few lengths...just an exapmle, we will make it fair, hope you guys would also), Id hope we can expect the same from you guys!

BTW fulltilt, how long does shipping take on your video, I will support all comers into this game of racing videos, makes it exciting to have a variety for the public.

Well, real street racing is a 1/4 mile drag race for cash....


I appreciate your position, but please consider that everybody (maybe even the majority?) do not feel this way.

Some say its racing up the side of a twisty mountain.
Some say it is from 70 to 170.
Some say a standing mile.
Some say a quarter of a mile.
Some say until a clear winner is proven.
Some say race to the limiter of the slower car.

My point is... saying that true street racing is "a quarter mile at a time"  :lol: is silly in my opinion.

I appriciate your opinion, racing ont he street can mean everything that you have just mention whereas a "Street Race" has ALWAYS been a 1/4 mile drag race for cash......from a dead stop, lets see who can get those vehicles out of the hole and make it down the 1/4 the fastest.....

Stangstomper- what do you drive? Got pictures? I'll be making a trip there in the spring to run Somebodys Supra and possibly an extremely fast Viper that I guess will have more hp than any Viper to date. The Supra owne name is Mike and its Silver. If i remember right it has the record for hp on stock block. You know him??

The way i see this is chicago has grabbed their balls and called you all out. Then you guys make up a bunch of excuses as to why you cant race, cause your scared. You title yourself "queens" err im sorry "kings," but then when someone wants to challenge that title your pussies shrivel up. If you wanna call yourselves the kings of anything you gotta be ready to deffend that title, or give it up. We need a lil less excuses and some more racing here.

You got called out, what are you gonna do?

Well first of all mouth, guess we have to figure out how to unshrivel our pussies. Until just now , I really didn't know I had one. But since i do, i think i'll go bang myself. :wink: Second thing, you can run your mouth all you want cause it's winter dipshit.  :stupid: And our bikes get put away in the winter. Third thing is no one seems to be hiding. I think there are several that will run what YOU have for 1 mile from a standing start. Interested? Or is your mouth stuck on your shriveled dick??

That was the name of a video put together by one member here. There are almost 6000 members on this site. I'll say it again, it was just the name of a video. NO ONE is claiming it as a title. :roll:  

You are a perfect example of the VERY fragile ego I was referring to.

You want to challenge some of the fast guys on this site?, then you will have to race them on their terms. Which most likely will be for more than a 1/4 mile.  Can you hang for more than a 1/4 mile?.

Remember, you just said we got called out, if you you want to play, it will be by our rules.   :wink:

I'm sorry , I just don't see how a car(even at an amazing 1000+hp) could even be close to turbo bike in a standing mile...  :?:

I've seen a couple of videos of cars getting landed on by slightly modded busas, and I have seen the vid of the NickSlick with that Super Supra that was a near tie. But that's a roll-on and with a bike that was only pushing 250hp. so what makes you think you caould hang with a bike that makes more than double that HP from a standing start?

Even with Hank riding one of his bikes at Maxton(spinning the tire at the 1 mile mark) he was doing a modest 211 or so... Are there any cars that could possible run 211 in a standing mile? Let alone 230, 240, or 250?

How about this... Everybody get their shit ready for the TEXAS MILE in March, and lets see who is really the "King" of what? How about it?

Completely safe, no cops, no traffic, and no BS!
You won't have to open the hoods in front of anybody but tech officials, and all the "betting" can be held on the side. Standing mile on a nice flat surface, top speed wins!

So? That gives everybody roughly 3 months to prepare...

I don't know how they hooked up in Las Vegas

Ask Dennis about hooking up in vegas.I don't know what they make the roads out of there,but you spin up on almost every tight turn.


I would spin up every time I gave it gas.  I was riding with a bunch of bikes at 4 in the mourning down the interstete.  14? I think.  Long strait away stretch a little south of the strip.  A guy flew by on a stock 04 1000.  I gave it the gas to pass him and it did nothing but spin the tire.  Even at like 120 it did nothing but spin the tire.  I really wanted too, but wouldn't even think of hitting the nitrous.  It has the arm set at 8 inches, so I know that was hurting me alot, but it had a  new super soft pirreli slick on it.  It hooks great at the track.  No spin at all.  Even the guys with me at stock wheel base were spinning alot doing wheelies.


EVERYTIME YOU HIT THE THROTTLE AT 120 YOU SPUN THE TIRE???? :roll:  :roll:   YEAH WE BELIEVE YA


With cool temps, 320 hp, 6 over arm, and street tire, I have spun the tire hard at 110-120 mph in 3rd gear, and even in 4th (lower mph though).  The arm kills it, but surface temp does as well.

Common sense tells me that a 500+ horsepower bike is going to thump an 800 or even a 1000 hp car.  Think about it 3300 pound car VS 500 pound bike...


HP VS weight.... Yes it comes into play....

And yes this site has some 250mph proven bikes at Bonneville,Texas,and Maxton...


How many of your shitboxes have even run 200mph let alone in a mile...

Quote from: FullTilt
Chicago folks seem to take their steet racing VERY seriously. Kings of the Street vid I've put together has gotten their hackles raised and they are crying foul because of the DVD title. This is kind of amusing as I'm very clear that what I'm doing is specifically NOT racing, but a certain type of person has trouble hearing that.

They've got some impressive hardware - a Supra that has done an 8.4 second quarter, some monster Mustangs and Camaros and such. They like to run from a dead stop and do a quarter mile mostly - on the street - at night - and with a minimum $1K bet to start the action. Again, this isn't really what I'm looking for, but the cars are interesting and it would be good video....

Now they say they've got something that will do a mile race from a dead stop. I know there are a few people out in the midwest from this board there who would probably not shy away from a situation like that. Their policy is hoods shut - run what you brung.

So, I'm curious .... anyone up for that? I've got the connection now and could help arrange it. Gonna be in Michigan for X-mas and New Year, so I'll be somewhat close by. Though, I'm sure it won't be bike friendly weather.


From the SupraForums board

Like I said, no one is hateing, but with a title like "Kings of the Streets" you gotta prove it or knock down the kings.
A title like that is gonna get folks on you a lil, its very bold to say the least, but then again, so are we and were up to proving it.
We have shit that will run a flying miles as well, from a dead stop though....
Point is, we have been everywhere with all kinds of cars, from GM, ford, toyota you name it we got it.....they all drive every single day, and can go from Chicago to California.
Bottom line is, we wanna see that titles earned...offer still stands, lock in $1000.00 (that is just a lock up contract) bring some of YOUR fastest shit and well have our, heads up hoods shut drag race here in Chi-Town (that way it should be done and has been done for decades).....we can make it interesting, would make for great video, come get the title.......we'll have a paypal account ready for sidebets!

I'AM CHICAGO...A G SOUNDS GOOD BUT THE WEATHER SUCKS RIGHT NOW... AND I JUST TOOK THE ENGINE OUT THE BIKE FOR SOME UPGRADES...BUT I COULD HAVE IT BACK TOGEATHER IN A DAY OR TWO... THOSE SUPRA GUYS ALWAYS RUNNING OFF AT THE MOUTH, I GUY A WORK GOT A EVO TRY TO TAKE MY TURBO BUSA ON I-94 ALL HE SAW WAS MY TAIL LIGHTS HA. HA. THERE ARE TWO CAR GUYS THE HEARE MIGHT BE GAME NEXT SUMMER ONE WITH A SUPRA THE OTHER WITH A TWIN TURBO VIPER...

And who the hell are you?
Where were you with all this big challenge talk when we drove 300 miles to come race ALL of you in Vegas?????

All we got from the Chicago crowd was attitude! We asked a couple of times, very nicely I might add, if Marko would like to meet up for a race.

The guy just acted like total Prima Donna prick and walked off to hang with all his ass kissing buddies while his girlfriend explained to us that he only races for money. Well we dont! In fact I'd pay that Nimrod a grand NOT to show up again.

He seems to enjoy smack talking and shit stirring. We do not get our thrills that way, we enjoy an honorable competitor. I don't give a rats ass how fast he thinks his car is, he can leave the attitude at home or don't bother coming.

As far as I am concerned, we raced the biggest badest Supra out there. You can SEE what happened for yourselves. Dana was a super cool guy, he built a hell of a car and he drove the hell out of it. Everyone had FUN. Thats what I like to do. No one went home a looser, no lost money, there was no fight, it was a great day.

If we had a bet riding on that race there would have been a fight for sure. Even with no money riding on that race there was one guy who managed to get the whole situation blown out of proportion and ripe for a fight. Betting on racing at this level is like throwing gasoline on a hot embers. Its just pointless.... unless you enjoy fighting of course...

If you guys from Chicago want to race, then next time you come to Vegas SHOW UP FOR THE RACE don't slink off and not return phone calls. We set up a race IN ADVANCE with you. We told you we were coming, we came 300 miles and then we raced. WHERE WERE YOU?????

You don't like the title? well you shulda behaved like men and honored your commitments..... like Dana. He has a buisness building cars and he came in the morning when he did not really want to. HE RACED. He stood to loose but he did it anyway. He was hesitant but he ran, no money, no dark freeways and bullshit.

This is about finding fast machines, not taking someones money. If you want something to bet on, go to the bookie. We want to find fast machines not race winners. If a faster bike misses a gear and looses "the race" is the car faster? If your intercooler pipe comes off and you loose "the race" is the bike faster? No, but if there is a bet, the "winner" still takes the cash... fuck that....

If you want to race for money I will certainly not be there, and I am suprised to hear anyone from this board say they would attend. I could care less who took who's money.

If you want to find out who has the fastest machine, great, see you all in Vegas next year, and this time, SHOW UP FOR THE RACE!

Well, real street racing is a 1/4 mile drag race for cash....


That is the dumbest thing said on here yet. Real street racing is when two (or even more) machines encounter one another on the street either by planned or chance meeting and drop the hammer. Either 1/4 mile, curvy backroad, or one city to the other. Take a look at the Japan scene. They race on the highway and it doesn't stop until somebody is completly dusted.  Take a look at the UK. You think they limit themselves to just a 1/4 mile on the street when they have miles of curvy roads and highway to choose from?  Both countries think the 1/4 mile thing is a total joke and is anything But "Real Street Racing". Sorry the street racing world doesn't revolve around chi-town no matter how well you Type it. :lol:

Quote from: StangStomper
we didnt ask for anyone from the surrounding area to come race for us, we said WE will have cars/bikes from the Chi-Town Street racing community that would love to try out some of YOUR vehicles...


Well then all you guys had to do was show up. Nick and the crew went out of their way to find fast cars on various car boards. In fact on the supra threads it's noted one of your guys didn't show after repeated calls. Now it's a case because of money. None of the other amazing cars from tuners with equally amazing credintials had to put up any money to do this run. Why the hell should their effort be shunned and the entire challenge basis changed just for someone from another group that's not as prestigious?


Quote from: StangStomper
No one is bent out of shape....


From what's been said on the supra boards you sure have alot of people fooled.

Quote from: StangStomper
what we are saying is, if you have a title that bold, prove it, we have gone and raced everwhere, the Chicago biys as well as the boys from houston are ont he map, they are known, people want to take them out, they just haven't yet.


Well that's funny because up till now, nobody here has heard of you or this group. Nor can i remember seeing mention of your group on any other car board from the viper to supra boards. Let along any mention or proof by races or records that you guys supposidly Own the title or can even be considered to hold the title of "King of the Streets" as you said that needs to be earned by Fulltilt and the gang. Once again the only thing we know of your group so far is that one of your guys DIDN'T Show at the vegas run ...or any of the runs for that matter.


Quote from: StangStomper

 All we said is lock in for 1'g (that is just lock up money) bring some cars or bikes out and lets get down...on the street for some cash and have a grand ole time!

No need to worry about hooking up, our streets hook better than most tracks! But this can wait till the weather clears, just want to see if full tilt wants to get down??????

He produced that movie, I produced mine, differance is I street race, how about for round one me and full tilt go heads up (with vehicles that are titled in our names and we own)....call the amount????


So now it's a case of avoiding one challenge by presenting another. That's like challenging a UFC fighter for his UFC title in a Boxing only Match. Let me clue you in on what the whole basis of the challenge in this "king of The streets" DVD Really was. It was intended, by clear evidence with competent drivers on both machines,  To see just how powerful a car needs to be to outdo today's top sportbikes in a roll on. Some even going beyond one mile (in a nutshell, to put a conclusive end to the shit started by the "Walser supra vs Hayabusa" video's years ago). The original challenge was for these cars that while being Amazingly powerful, yet claimed reliable street machines, to road trip to the secluded test track (deserted road in the desert away from cops, pedestrians, and other things that could hinder the pilots from using the full ability of the machines) to run against a selection of stock and modded bikes. No money runs whatsoever as this was to be a race of man and machine. Not Ego's Or Fucking mindgames with post race Bullshit that would never end which does happen on the streets all too much. This was not the intended goal of these events.

However even though a good number of cars did make the roadtrip to the run, in order to get the runs done with the cars in vegas, Nick and the crew had to compromise the challenge and come to them. Even then some wouldn't show. That's alright since some REAL machines did still run nick's challenge and not back out due to thier own personal reasons or differences with that of the challenge.

Bottom line is all comers were invited for this DVD filming and your guys didn't participate. That's their fault and their fault alone. If you guys don't like the Title of the DVD or agree with the machines in the DVD, tough. Do something about it. Put your money clips and Ego's aside, Be a Man and run the run that the cars and drivers already featured in the DVD have. No Mindgames or moneyplay Shit. In fact if nick or fulltilt do abide by your request for a money run, that would be a great injustice and show of disrespect to the original basis of the challenge and the Good people, both on 2 and especially 4 wheels, that have already run it.  Fulltilt and nick have hinted at doing another compilation of these filmed runs by establishing "positive" ties with the car people that participated. This is something that Rarely Happens when money is involved. If they decide to do this again then your crew can decide then to put your money games aside and either show up or shut up. The End.  :evil:

Sounds perfectly ideal right there especially since stang claims these guys have been all around the country including houston. The texas mile just so happens to be the other venue that the stock wheelbase/frame 425hp Yancy's Turbo busa went from 0 to 250mph in the standing mile (251mph at texas actually). Once again both at texas and Maxton no other bike or Car Especially is close to what this street legal bike has done. With 3 months it sounds like plenty of time for these guys to get thier machines or excuses ready.  :lmao:

The tire was spinning in Las Vegas on I14?  The major rode through town.  The same one the video was filmed on.  Down by the strip and all the rodes around town were slippery then shit.  Ever time I would barely get on the gas it would spin out.  If I was here in Idaho I would not have spun any where.  For some reason the rodes were slippery as shit.  Stock wheel base stock motor 1000's were spinning the shit out of it.  One guy went side ways and almost high sided trying to do a stand up on a stock motor stock wheel base 1000.  
A little closer to the drag stripe then were they filmed the vid I did get some decent traction.  A supra was folowing me out to the track so we both got on it and I pulled away from him like nothing.  So I slowed down to 100 or so and he pulls up again.  the guy kept coming and would not let off.  So I finally went for shit and even hit the nitrous.  Kept going till he was way the hell back their and could barely see him.  Then he never caught me again.  Maybee it was a stock supra.  Don't know, don't care.  
Nick.  You need alot bigger nitrous bottle to do you any good.  It will show 75 hp on the dyno and will work, but only for 3 or 4 seconds with that little 20 oz bottle.  Your bottle will freeze and lose pressure then it does nothing.  My bike with 50hp shot on dyno drops pressure big time in the 1/4.  I picked up 4mph in the 1/4 by going to 2 20oz bottles.  Same mph at the 1/8th because it still has good pressure at the 1/8th.
I would love to watch and race at Las Vegas again.  I will be their the first couple of races of the year because they open a month before the boise track opens.  I don't know how many more I will hit their next year as I wan't to try to hit some in oregon, washington.  Meet yag and golden chiled maybee.  I would definatly make a special trip to Vegas if all the supras were to show up again.

I'm sorry , I just don't see how a car(even at an amazing 1000+hp) could even be close to turbo bike in a standing mile...  :?:


I agree.  Although a car (depending on what it is, like a Vette, Viper or Supra) does have the potential to go over 250 mph with 1000+ rwhp ... but it's going to take it more than a mile from a standing start.  It would also have to be geared perfectly for top end, which could hurt the acceleration time to top end.

On the other hand, we Busa maniacs all know that the super insane turboed Busa will do a standing mile at 250+ mph.

I think you car guys are going to realize you have the pussy and it's gonna “shrivel up” when you realize that a turboed Busa IS THE KING OF THE STREETS! :yes:

here's how i look at it.  There is almost no way that a car will hang with one of those crazy ass bikes in a mile run.  Power to weight ratio just isn't going to happen in a street car to hit 250 in a mile.  We all know that bike can run some flying ass 1/4 mile times so why not sit down with some of chicago finest street cars in a 1/4 mile race sense it would take a pro stock car to run a 250mph mile.  You never see a couple cars that were racing a 1/4mile in an industial area on the news, but you see these guys running 100+ on the freeways crashing and killing innocent people all the time.  You couldn't pay me enough money to risk those inocent peoples lives trying to hit 250mph on the street.  Come up to chicago, have some of our bomb ass pizza, race some of our cars in a 1/4 drag race, and see if you can get some of our bikes to run you for a standing mile.

bike guys seemed to be the ones wanting to race for fun. Cars guys claim to be KINGS of the street. They are also claiming to only run for cash. So you might wanna talk to the cars guys about their attitudes. The bikes are the FASTEST but physics unfortunately doesn't allow us to be the QUICKEST.

Hey One mile, ten miles whatever. i'm sure we got something to spank, No destroy you. Problem with most offerings like this is, there are MANY bikes out there what will beat the best you hafta offer in true street form. MEANING any states' requirements for saftey equipment, smog etc. Car guys tend to offer unpractical and non true street rides. Take your 110 turbo/nos running car to Cali and make it pass emissions and safety. Plenty of bikes out there that will pass the requirements and then destroy you. Once you go extreme on the track, well psyhics beats us. But then again, we are the KINGS of the street, NOT Kings of the track.

Holy Cow.

There seems to be a rash of smack-talking going around. Let's get some ointment out and soothe everyone's ailments, eh?

At this point, I'm thinking it is going to be a challenge to put something together. Just too adversarial right now. Perhaps things will thaw out when spring rolls around? Until then, we'll have to be content with bench racing. Here's some from the Supra board, which seems to be ground zero right now.

The Texas event sounds like it might be just the ticket. However, I don't think they allow side by side runs, do they? If so, we might have a winner.

Jucin,

Though it sounds like we could have an interesting meeting, I just don't see it happening when this is the approach. To begin with, I find it kind of funny that I'm 'killing the sport of drag racing", when it is something I'm not participating in. I'd compare it to saying to a baseball player that he is "killing the sport of golf".  If drag racing is dying and I'm to blame, I sure am sorry. It is amusing to go to a drag strip every now and then and spend a three hour evening driving a total of perhaps 3/4ths of a mile. The lights are cool and so is the big board with the time and speed.

As far as the fast and furious go?  Hmmm, let's see. Finding a deserted street in the city .... at night .... running for money ..... spectators milling around everywhere .... Did you see the same movie I did? That sounds a lot like what you guys are inviting us to do.

Dodging bridges and cones (preferably on a dirt road) is Dukes of Hazzard, not Fast and Furious, BTW. Not really our cup of tea either.

I'll state again, the premise of what I'm doing is to match interesting vehicles with each other and run them several different ways to see what will happen. Drag racing launches are hard on equipement, difficult to do well when driving a stick or foot shifted bike, etc. Most of the guys who've run with us agreed to show up because they felt comfortable with the format. No hype, no drama, no wads of dollar bills being flashed around, just good people and cool machines.

Also, the title "Kings of the Street" isn't meant to get anyone worked up. It is like a bunch of Sumo wrestlers getting agitated that boxing delcares it's champion to be the 'heavyweight champion of the world' (are all three belts united again, yet BTW?) "Come to Tokyo you wussy boxers, and prove yourselves in the Kokugikan if you want to declare yourself 'heavyweight champion of the world'."

Perhaps when spring rolls around, we can meet halfway between BC and Illinois? - say Montana - open roads, few people, it would be perfect.

Well the way we see it was why LIMIT the runs to Just a 1/4 mile?  The point of the runs filmed by fulltilt and nickslick was to accuratly present an answer to what Walser started. A Roll on race is a depiction of outright power and straight line ability of the said machine(s). Walsers supra could only do a best of 11 seconds in the 1/4 mile. A run against just a stock hayabusa in the 1/4 mile would have his car lose pathetically. However start the race at 70mph where traction isn't too much of an issue (as opposed to a dead stop) and the power to weight superiority of a stock busa is no longer a factor to a 900hp car, and you see what happens. With that said i recall seeing a video of a sub 10 second mustang going against a 800hp supra which wasn't too 1/4 mile savvy in a roll on race. Despite the 1/4 mile ability After 120mph the stang saw supra brakelights that kept going and going and going.

Now as for "You never see a couple cars that were racing a 1/4mile in an industial area on the news, but you see these guys running 100+ on the freeways crashing and killing innocent people all the time", quite the contrary I can recall seeing just as many media exploits of car street racing and the fatalities that ensue (there was even a MTV special on the subject) as opposed to the recent segments of sportbikes. Mostly "Stunters". Thing is, unlike the car streetracing scene, I Don't recall any of the accidents with bikes killing anyone in a cage. :roll: However what i do see all the time and all too common is idiot's in SUV's and cars killing riders in senseless accidents, mostly at intersections, just because the individuals in the automobiles weren't paying attention. Not because the bikes were racing or stunting.  :evil:

Like I stated in a the previous post. This is Nick and fulltilts Challenge and it's not limited to a 1/4 mile. In fact the 600 plus hp corvette in the DVD was setup for the curves too and just filmed a fun chase through some twisties with a '04 R1. So the idea of corner carving with these bikes and cars has presented itself if nick and fulltilt do another DVD. Like the mustang vs. supra example, things can change severely after a 1/4 mile and if the said machines met on a highway as opposed to a street light, then the King of the 1/4 mile will be in trouble. That's Not something alot of people would call "King" of the street.  :mrgreen:

God it's people like this that give even dipshit British motor journalists like Jeremy Clarkson of "Top Gear" so much credibility when they say "american cars, much like thier owners, are only fast in the Straight line". Or that we only know 1/4 mile and oval racing. However looking at the World reviews for the Corvette and vipers, let along their winning records at race events world wide show's these cars have potential far beyond the 1/4 mile.

Jucin can cry all he wants but his kind is a dying breed anyways. People are going beyond the 1/4 mile and tuning their machines to do amazing things. Why limit a car or bike to just amazing 1/4 mile performance? I'd be happier with a car that could do a decent high or mid 11 second 1/4 mile and still corner like a mofo with a top end of 200mph or close as opposed to having a 9 or 8 second drag machine that can do just that. Drag. For gods sake if this was just a 1/4 mile run we'd have snowmobiles showing up making these cars and bikes look funny. This wasn't the point of these videos. The point was Total outright straight line ability between two totally different breeds of machine. Not a race that can be decided by traction issues, who gets the hit, drivers skill in a 1/4 mile, if whatever parts break or not when launched, or who can piss who off more in the money/smacktalk session, but what happens when the full potential of a modded car and stock (or modded) bike are unleashed for a mile or beyond. Everyone from Frank Cho to John Hennessy, to Numerous fast car tuners were asked to participate. No money involved as "positive ties for future endeavors" was paramont in these events. So far that goal was acheived as all players said they'd love to do it again. Besides the point of the race, These events were done for FUN.

If your not having fun...then that's your problem. Keep it to yourself.  :lol:

why would anyone race a 1/4 mile on the street when the friggin dragstrip has timing equipment lights and you can run side by side... DUH

Drag racing requires a set of skills that can be more important than the machine itself. If you remember the race between Danno and Nick last year, Nick lost. Danno had a superb launch (he had been drag racing for a year), yet Nicks top speed was higher.

The reality is that dragracing is not a good measure of a machine. Even the Supra guys had a hard time getting under 10sec yet they had some very big guns there.

If we have learned nothing else from the Nick/Dana race we know that it is nearly impossible to accuratly guage who one unless it is by a few car lengths. (and you want to bet on this kind of a race!!!???)

If we did a poll today, who won the Nick/Dana race, do yo think its even likely anyone would agree? Even with four cameras its debatable. About all we can say is that they were evenly matched. We dont need to go any further cos it doesn't matter. But if there money ridin on it.... oh my god can you imagine the bad blood that would have created.

We are trying to bring these communities together not divide them, cos its more fun when everyone shows up and has a good time.

Those guys that insist on a money race are looking to cause trouble cos someone is going to loose, and it doesnt matter who its going to polarize the groups. If we all have fun, everyone is a winner.

Well, real street racing is a 1/4 mile drag race for cash....


That is the dumbest thing said on here yet. Real street racing is when two (or even more) machines encounter one another on the street either by planned or chance meeting and drop the hammer. Either 1/4 mile, curvy backroad, or one city to the other. Take a look at the Japan scene. They race on the highway and it doesn't stop until somebody is completly dusted.  Take a look at the UK. You think they limit themselves to just a 1/4 mile on the street when they have miles of curvy roads and highway to choose from?  Both countries think the 1/4 mile thing is a total joke and is anything But "Real Street Racing". Sorry the street racing world doesn't revolve around chi-town no matter how well you Type it. :lol:

Quote from: StangStomper
we didnt ask for anyone from the surrounding area to come race for us, we said WE will have cars/bikes from the Chi-Town Street racing community that would love to try out some of YOUR vehicles...


WHOA, that is alot of crap you wrote there, lets start with this paticular point you are trying to make......firstly, we ar not in the UK or japan, it seems you have taken a page out the book right out from a fictitious movie (the Slow and the Delirious I believe) next you will say we should race 5 wide and stuff....your description fits many of the scenes in that movie....next you are gonna say we should rob semis and sell stolen DVD players...
All of the street racing world from New York to LA and the midwest drag race (street race) so your statement should say YOUR type of racing does not revolve around the real street racing world.
A 1.4 miles street race is what was offered, plain and simple.

Well then all you guys had to do was show up. Nick and the crew went out of their way to find fast cars on various car boards. In fact on the supra threads it's noted one of your guys didn't show after repeated calls. Now it's a case because of money. None of the other amazing cars from tuners with equally amazing credintials had to put up any money to do this run. Why the hell should their effort be shunned and the entire challenge basis changed just for someone from another group that's not as prestigious?

Lets get to this point.....prestige is NT what we are after, nor are we "Tuners" we are street race enthusiests and what we are after is a 1/4 mile street race for cash...another very simle rule is that we do NOT race for free and even the xtrememotorspors camera guys were there to documents we were ready and willing to race right then and there for some small money, they thought it was fair, but our offer was declined...its not a big deal, just looks like we were after 2 very differant types of races....if you are gonna tell a story, tell it in it's entirety, not just portions which you would like for folks to hear....its ok though, you are obviously just upset and need a hug.


Quote from: StangStomper
No one is bent out of shape....


From what's been said on the supra boards you sure have alot of people fooled.

The Supra community is just fine with us becasue all we offered was a drag race...if you have a title like Kings of the Streets, you should be up to the challege of defending such a title, i mean it does not say kings of the machines, it says the streets and we have been known to like to race on the streets....maybe you have a hard time unerstading the differance between a challenge and anger...possibly becasue you seems very, VERY angry

Quote from: StangStomper
what we are saying is, if you have a title that bold, prove it, we have gone and raced everwhere, the Chicago biys as well as the boys from houston are ont he map, they are known, people want to take them out, they just haven't yet.


Well that's funny because up till now, nobody here has heard of you or this group. Nor can i remember seeing mention of your group on any other car board from the viper to supra boards. Let along any mention or proof by races or records that you guys supposidly Own the title or can even be considered to hold the title of "King of the Streets" as you said that needs to be earned by Fulltilt and the gang. Once again the only thing we know of your group so far is that one of your guys DIDN'T Show at the vegas run ...or any of the runs for that matter.

Once again, you should rephrase and say All non street racers have not heard of you and your group, we have been all over america street racing, quite suceful at times. just look at the trailer for some video evidence www.ScandalousRacing.com , we are quite very well know in the street scene and our Supra is probably the most famous of all street supras, hence possibly the reason the full tilt guys were calling him....I am sure it was not for tea and krunpets........and we WERE there, our race offer was declined.....you can ask the man with video footage from xtrememotorsports...goes by the screen name HIBOOST on supra forums, he might be willing to share it...once again, please tell the whole story...we still love you though :)


Quote from: StangStomper

 All we said is lock in for 1'g (that is just lock up money) bring some cars or bikes out and lets get down...on the street for some cash and have a grand ole time!

No need to worry about hooking up, our streets hook better than most tracks! But this can wait till the weather clears, just want to see if full tilt wants to get down??????

He produced that movie, I produced mine, differance is I street race, how about for round one me and full tilt go heads up (with vehicles that are titled in our names and we own)....call the amount????


So now it's a case of avoiding one challenge by presenting another. That's like challenging a UFC fighter for his UFC title in a Boxing only Match. Let me clue you in on what the whole basis of the challenge in this "king of The streets" DVD Really was. It was intended, by clear evidence with competent drivers on both machines,  To see just how powerful a car needs to be to outdo today's top sportbikes in a roll on. Some even going beyond one mile (in a nutshell, to put a conclusive end to the shit started by the "Walser supra vs Hayabusa" video's years ago). The original challenge was for these cars that while being Amazingly powerful, yet claimed reliable street machines, to road trip to the secluded test track (deserted road in the desert away from cops, pedestrians, and other things that could hinder the pilots from using the full ability of the machines) to run against a selection of stock and modded bikes. No money runs whatsoever as this was to be a race of man and machine. Not Ego's Or Fucking mindgames with post race Bullshit that would never end which does happen on the streets all too much. This was not the intended goal of these events.

Again, you show your immpecable knowlege, oh high and mighty intelligent one...how can we be dodging the challenge, we are the ones presenting the challenge, i just offered one more that might be of interest to full Tilt, he can take it or leave it...plain and simple, we did not smear hm or anything, would you rather we retract all challenges????Wouldl thi make you feel better.....aftr all being called out by Scandalous is not a bad thing for full tilt, it will give some publicity to Full Tilts video, and if he accepts the offer, a chance at taking the chicago street guys out!

However even though a good number of cars did make the roadtrip to the run, in order to get the runs done with the cars in vegas, Nick and the crew had to compromise the challenge and come to them. Even then some wouldn't show. That's alright since some REAL machines did still run nick's challenge and not back out due to thier own personal reasons or differences with that of the challenge.

I think Nicks reasons were also personal, not that that is a bad thing, but we had on offer on the table, and we would have tried out any of those real machines as well, and walked away friends after our encounter with them, just as we did when we won the vegas event. I GUESS NO ONE CAN HAVE "PERSONAL" FEELING UH????
Compromising, we know all about that as well as we have spotted out almost everyone we have raced and travlen thousands of miles in doing so, from east to south, to midwest, we have been there and done that.

Bottom line is all comers were invited for this DVD filming and your guys didn't participate. That's their fault and their fault alone. If you guys don't like the Title of the DVD or agree with the machines in the DVD, tough. Do something about it. Put your money clips and Ego's aside, Be a Man and run the run that the cars and drivers already featured in the DVD have. No Mindgames or moneyplay Shit. In fact if nick or fulltilt do abide by your request for a money run, that would be a great injustice and show of disrespect to the original basis of the challenge and the Good people, both on 2 and especially 4 wheels, that have already run it.  Fulltilt and nick have hinted at doing another compilation of these filmed runs by establishing "positive" ties with the car people that participated. This is something that Rarely Happens when money is involved. If they decide to do this again then your crew can decide then to put your money games aside and either show up or shut up. The End.  :evil:


Once again, Nick ( I believe that is Full Tilt) came here looking for takers for a money drag race against us...we did not come here looking to start anything with this site, we actually think this is a great site, Nick came here looking for backer with a vehicle and cash to run, not us, we are offering our own communties vehicles that are ready to run.
Remeber before this gets twisted in all the bullshit, we called out full tilt, not this site, we did it on supra forums, full tilt brought this here, not us before members start to think otherwise. We will not see this and not respond. we just want it to be CLEAR this is SSR Racing calling out full tilt, not this site.
 Getting back to the subject, Racing is a mindgame, we can play the game and not be phased, can you????Does that make us less of men????We are willing ot gamble and possibly loose...would we fight about it?Absolutly not, if you cross the finishline first, we loose, you get paid and we sahek hands.....that is being a man, being able to not only issue the challenge, but obide by the rules of the game if we loose!
So, it seems full tilt is in for a differant type of game than the street thing...however if they are game for a race of thier lives, chi-town will be the place...

Ciao

Scandalous

BTW, we are serious when we say we think Nick has good content, we wish him well and we hope to be seing him at a stoplight in chicag  in the near future, no checks or credit cards though, just cash, LOL.

For expample, your supra theory, although it seems feasable, the truth of the matter is, that was our supra against gypsy george's (from one of our street race trips to houston) 347 CID Mustang.....it was not after 120 that we got him, we had him from start to finish, we just kept pulling on him, he had a shitty run....we would have got him reguardless, we were much faster that he was at the time, he just didnt think so, and that cost him some money!
Anyhow, I can see your arguement if i were onthe other side....this is NOT a bike vs. Car think or and us vs. them thing, let me be clear, we just want ot drag race the full tilt guys!!!!!!!!that is all,plain and simple...i still think me vs. fulltilt in our OWN vehicles would be a good way to settle this, and it just could be a shitload of fun...not that I am against having a bigger gathering and getting some good ole fashion street racing in.

ok lemme say that it wasnt made clear if this was a modified busa or not.im not saying bikes cant break the tires loose over 100mph.but from what was written it didnt sound like he was being truthfull.i will "assume" it was either a huge motor or a nos/turbo setup.  as for drag racing being for trailer queens and 1 mile racing being for hp. then please tell me how many venues LEGAL or ILLEGAL you are able to do this?? other than bonneville etc. so i guess a lil thing called N.H.R.A. is a bunch of wannabe trailer queens right?? i guess no one told em real racing was getting on public rds doing 200 or 250 (bullshit) mph.??? fuck this pansy ass 1mile shit then..CANNONBALL if you wanna really show something. i mean you decided that 1/4 mile wasnt shit so how did you come up with the decision that a mile was??? and even beyond that apparently it has to be a ROLLING mile????   WTF are you guys all high??? seriously. if you want to establish BRUTE hp. then you first need to start with a STANDING START not a roll-on. and for like the last 50+yrs this has been done on 1/4 mile venues.this has turned from a silly post to an absolutely amazing display of ignorance by MANY (not all) members here. if any of you idiots wants to kill yourself thats cool i have run near 200mph on some of our expressways in the middle of the night no traffic and away from everything.but it sounds to me like that aint what your doing. as for the MARKO comments let me say this 1st you drove 200 miles??? big fuckin deal check a map and see how far chicago is from vegas last time i checked it was just shy of 1800 fuckin miles!!! so excuse marko if he didnt wanna come that far for "FUNSIES" trust me there are 1000 guys in vegas who would gladly run him if that were the case. also im pretty sure marko didnt say he would come all the way there to race for a burger n fries. another thing about marko and his STREET DRIVEN  UNSTRIPPED STREET CAR is somehow he manages to keep up with MODIFIED busas at the DRAGSTRIP/STREET racing 1/4 mile!! i dont remember him asking anyone to give him a roll on to make it fair.  look at any brute hp buildoff for bikes or cars and see if the winners can put all that hp to the pavement and make it hook for a 1/4 mile. including KENT there are tons of guys who can make 600+hp bikes now but try keeping it together AND getting it down the track hell you can regear any busa or zx12 and run 250mph  SO WHAT??   ANYONE can set something up to run from a nice roll on and then just twist the throttle or mash the gas till ya top out  but WHY??? if you really wanna see how fast you can run that way go to bonneville. :roll:

Quote from: lt1camaroman93
here's how i look at it.  There is almost no way that a car will hang with one of those crazy ass bikes in a mile run.  Power to weight ratio just isn't going to happen in a street car to hit 250 in a mile.  We all know that bike can run some flying ass 1/4 mile times so why not sit down with some of chicago finest street cars in a 1/4 mile race sense it would take a pro stock car to run a 250mph mile.  You never see a couple cars that were racing a 1/4mile in an industial area on the news, but you see these guys running 100+ on the freeways crashing and killing innocent people all the time.  You couldn't pay me enough money to risk those inocent peoples lives trying to hit 250mph on the street.  Come up to chicago, have some of our bomb ass pizza, race some of our cars in a 1/4 drag race, and see if you can get some of our bikes to run you for a standing mile.


Well the way we see it was why LIMIT the runs to Just a 1/4 mile?  The point of the runs filmed by fulltilt and nickslick was to accuratly present an answer to what Walser started. A Roll on race is a depiction of outright power and straight line ability of the said machine(s). Walsers supra could only do a best of 11 seconds in the 1/4 mile. A run against just a stock hayabusa in the 1/4 mile would have his car lose pathetically. However start the race at 70mph where traction isn't too much of an issue (as opposed to a dead stop) and the power to weight superiority of a stock busa is no longer a factor to a 900hp car, and you see what happens. With that said i recall seeing a video of a sub 10 second mustang going against a 800hp supra which wasn't too 1/4 mile savvy in a roll on race. Despite the 1/4 mile ability After 120mph the stang saw supra brakelights that kept going and going and going.

Now as for "You never see a couple cars that were racing a 1/4mile in an industial area on the news, but you see these guys running 100+ on the freeways crashing and killing innocent people all the time", quite the contrary I can recall seeing just as many media exploits of car street racing and the fatalities that ensue (there was even a MTV special on the subject) as opposed to the recent segments of sportbikes. Mostly "Stunters". Thing is, unlike the car streetracing scene, I Don't recall any of the accidents with bikes killing anyone in a cage. :roll: However what i do see all the time and all too common is idiot's in SUV's and cars killing riders in senseless accidents, mostly at intersections, just because the individuals in the automobiles weren't paying attention. Not because the bikes were racing or stunting.  :evil:

Like I stated in a the previous post. This is Nick and fulltilts Challenge and it's not limited to a 1/4 mile. In fact the 600 plus hp corvette in the DVD was setup for the curves too and just filmed a fun chase through some twisties with a '04 R1. So the idea of corner carving with these bikes and cars has presented itself if nick and fulltilt do another DVD. Like the mustang vs. supra example, things can change severely after a 1/4 mile and if the said machines met on a highway as opposed to a street light, then the King of the 1/4 mile will be in trouble. That's Not something alot of people would call "King" of the street.  :mrgreen:

thats funny that "juicingta" is mad about that video because it was him that this past summer was posting links to my buddy daves turbo busa video doing some top end roll ons with a supra and telling people the busa rider was himself .
the one mile thing... well maybe its just my opinion but it helps keep the deal between street vehicals . im a 1/4 mile guy from way back but the term "street car" went to hell back in the day when NMCA started the pro street class and started calling pro mods with lights and a plate "street cars" . the likes of tony christian and rod salisbury were running 6's in these "street cars" that never once seen the street .
most of us with the big hp turbo bikes can run high 7's and low 8's but we can fill up at the pump and ride on the hiway as long as we want .
1320 on the street is a bit harder though only having 6" of rubber to plant in alot of cases well over 500hp as compared to a car with 20-42" of tire .
like rob it would be all in good fun just to participate but but expecting either of our bikes to hook on the street well enough to run the likes of even low 8's in 1320 would be pretty much giving away money .
whoever asked what veues have the likes of mile long racing , maxton mile , el mirage and bonneville of course  all house  "big end" racing . maxton is just an old airstrip and they time from a dead stop . theres also a thing down in florida called the 9/10 races where they race for 9/10 of a mile . check it out its pretty cool shit and just another form of racing and a different way a guy can be a gearhead  :wink:

aight... hope thats not sarcasm derived from doubt though ... i was only 30hpshort of that mark before the new upgrade  :wink:
that was with 26 pounds of boost . with the new water/air intercooler i should be good to 35 pounds of boost . should be in the 540-560hp range . but like i said just above.. try to hook that on the street with a 6" contact patch  :lol:

Were you there Gambler?
I was k, I witnessed you friend Marko's behaviour when Fulltilt and I went to confirm him for the next day as arranged. We have seen quite a few big motor cars this year including some Supras and I have never seen such punk ass behaviour from any of them.

He is Flake. I hate flakes.
As my grandad used to say to me looking me right in the eye,
Say what ya mean and mean what ya say!

Yes he drove further thats why we spoke to him AHEAD OF TIME. HE agreed to the meet, then he flaked out.

If you go to all the trouble of making a plan with someone and comminting to it DO IT!

Fulltilt flew down from canada, I drove out days in advance and worked on getting a mic to shoot with at speed, Danno and Nick had allmost no sleep on Sat night and we were there. Now tell me again why he wasn't???

As for racing at Bonneville, clearly you have never been on the salt at 200MPH "waltzing" all over the course.

We have several venues that are at least 4 miles long, no traffic, no cops that are ideal for 200MPH runs. We do it regularly. I know 200 might seem a little scary to you, but the Viper got very close without any frights. Mani got to about 180 and then his motor blew. its on the video. I was shooting that. I was engulfed in a cloud of white smoke at 175MPH so I just pulled in the clutch and cruised down to a stop. No drama.

This makes for a much more interesting comparison of cars and bikes that is easy for people to see from the video how these machines match up.

If you want to run against the baddest bikes on the planet, and there are quite a few on this board, then you come out and nail it on the open road for a mile or so (the viper ran down the stock busa at about the 2 mile mark) and we'll see who is king of the street.

nomad...while i appreciate your concern as to 200 mph scaring me  :roll:
i have rolled just under 200mph on several bikes of my own as well as friends doesnt scare me at all.what does bother me is doing it somewhere where your risking others lives.or just being foolish. and i have been to bonneville as a matter of fact.and i didnt say it was a "perfect" answer what i was trying to do is make a point. btw there have been much faster machines..cars/bikes/etc at bonneville than 200mph.  also to the other gentleman  maxton is "ok" at BEST and i have only "heard" about the 9/10 races from family in fla. i did forget about el mirage i guess. so nomad at best again my POINT was there are MAYBE 3 real venues for this kind of "racing" as opposed to nhra for instance   hmmm 5000+hp from a standing start to 300mph then stopped again all in LESS THAN 1/2 MILE yeah what was i thinkin they really are a bunch of pussies and trailer queens :roll:   as for your ridiculous claim about how that somehow makes a fair race of things to make it a mile i say again  why stop there how about 5 miles?? how about 5 miles with twisties?  how about 3000 miles coast to coast??? this is pointless. oh and if i want to see the baddest bikes on the planet i will go hang out with larry mcbride. because until i see ya sportin through town with anything close.you aint got shit that will impress or scare me. again ANYONE can put a turbo on a busa and gear it properly and run 250 all day SO WHAT?? personally i dont think 1/2 you guys got the stones. it sounds as if many of you are teens or early 20's with your first bikes and think your "bout it bout it" hell come to chicago i can think of at least 10 turbo busas who would love to smack ya around!! sorry i aint one of em im still sticking with my dinosaur gix1100 on a lil gun. but like i said we have plenty of busas and several venues for you. oh but bring cash cause we dont take discover. :evil:

everybody seems to be forgetting about the newest venue for top speed stuff.

The Texas Mile

It's supposed to be much smoother than Maxton, and is 8000ft in length, which gives you a decent about of time to brake without leaning it over into a corner...

With traction control and all the other goodies that are available on the computer systems that are needed to run these high HP cars and hyperbikes, it's obvious that the cars would have the advantage off the line(os the street/strip). Hell, look at the types of short times that cars can out up. I was out at the track a few weeks ago talking to a guy with a nicely built supercharged Mustang. His 60fts were like 1.40, and was only able to run high 9's. My 60fts sucked ass(1.78 -- spinning) and still I managed to run a 9.55! And that's at only 6psi... His car was pushing over 600HP. My bike was running a measly 217hp? There is really no comparison if both vehicles can get good traction...

What seems to be forgotten is that a lot has to do with the driver/rider. A Pro street bike/rider that is capable of doing mid-7 second pass in the 1/4 with an MCR2 obviously would not have the same luck on the street.

Yes, the same holds true for the car that might run those kind of numbers at the strip... But wheelies also come into play on a bike.

When it comes to a roll-on type of race, a car has a slight advantage again because the 3000lbs(estimated) is already in motion(simple physics).

If it was so easy for these super cars to run over bikes in the "standing mile" it'd have been done already...

People, let's keep civil. I think everyone wants some kind of matchup to happen. It is very possible still - as long as people communicate with respect and diplomacy.

The Texas event would certainly be interesting as it meets many of the criteria:

1. sanctioned event
2. closed course
3. relatively safe
4. timing equipment
5. somewhat centrally located (though still thousands of miles for some of us)

However, I don't think it permits side by side runs, which is kinda the spirit of this whole thing. A nice 4 mile flat empty stretch of road is better, I believe.

StangStomper, I think it would be a blast to run with you. There are a couple problems that we'd need to address, though. First off, I'm in British Columbia; you are in Illinois(?). We'd have to figure out where to meet and what kind of runs we'd do. A quarter mile specialist, I'm not. I don't know what your car is set up for either. Perhaps we'd have to run twice? Once the way you'd like, and once under my terms. We'd both have to get our machines to the location - my bike is in LA right now.

I posted up on this board since I know some of the members are close to you and figured it would be easier to meet up with someone geographically desirable.

OH and BTW, Nick and I are quite different people  :lol: I'm the person who has set up the car/bike encounters. Nick rides the NOS Busa.

You Americans get to have all the fun. Nobody races for shit up here in Canada. Shit, I am lucky to see 2 or 3 bikes at our local dragstrip on the weekends. Maybe I should pack my shit up and head down to the good ole US of A to play with my new 330HP 12R. No one around here wants to play with me. :cry:

We'll have to try and work it out so that when we go up there I can hook up with Mike Carlin's (MK4LIFE) Supra and his friends viper and also get with these guys to see what goes on in Chicago. Always wanted to go there because of hearing of some of this racing that takes place . Watched a 69 Camaro about 10 years ago at muncie run 8.6s @ 165?? that was from Chicago. Ran 3 times and was supposedly going back to run someone for 10,000.00. Fast car! There would have to be some cars that can run higher 7s by now?????????? So whats your plans Rob, going to just ride along cause i know you don't race your bike??????? :roll:  :P  :P  :lol:  :lol:

Post by: Nomad on November 30, 2004, 01:24:28 AM
Gambler you are obviously not an idiot so stop with the 5000Hp crap.

I gotta say tho, watching those Top Fuel cars at the drag strip is one of the most awesome experiences in life. There was one there on Sat night that did a 4 sec pass. We all just looked at each other like "Holy Shit" !!!!
a 9 sec pass after that is a total non event.

But we are talking about STREET machines, (the title "Kings of the Street" was the clue)

We like to ride. Our Busa Vegas meet in spring is 2 days of balls to the wall RIDING. Not waiting in the parking lot of a drag strip. We ride the piss outa these bikes all day.

On the long empty roads out toward Death Valley I had the throttle pinned most of the day. Wanna see a busa cranked over at 180mph check out the video from last year.

<Nick wheres that link?>

Wanna see wide open roads all the way up to the Valley Of Fire, and out to Death Valley, check out the video from this year... no cars for miles

<Nick wheres that link?>

Oh yeah and thats me at the beggining. Now if you think you have some cars that can hang with that, we want to see em, we want to shoot em, we want to race em and we want to have fun ALL DAY, not just for 9 sec

These are the roads that we wanted to go to with the Supra guys. like our four mile venue, they are DESERTED roads

FYI, we spent hours discussing shots for this video. We had planned all kinds of cool shots to show of the cars one by one as they roll into frame and then light up the tires as they leave it... running footage shot from the bike, owners explaining the mods to their machines etc etc etc.

THis is all stuff that the wider audience loves. There is benefit to all the communities from it. People come to respect and understand the work and dedication it takes to build em rather than slamming these machines into the same category as the fart pipe boy racer/Squid majority. Your cars would have looked great. It would have been an awesome introduction to the machines.

Judging by furrowed brows at your Vegas meet and all the moaning about "rough roads" out of town, Im guessing that if we lined up all those cars at hoover dam, only a few might be at the finish line on I15 at the end of the day.

BTW, That was a day of exhilaration that your $1000 can never buy, not to mention the friends you make at lunch. There is no winner, but by the end of the day you all know who the badass machine is and who has the cahones to ride/drive it. Thats respect that you also cant buy.

We do individual match up races that are fair to both machines and show the strengths and weaknesses of each. Look at the promo. How cool is it when that Viper runs down the stock Busa at 180. Great video. David was the coolest guy and anyone can see how the two machines shaked down. Its very hard to see that in 9sec at the drag strip.

As for average age, I dont think I know anyone on this board that is much under 40... Allthough I am regulary mistaken for 21 hehehe.... Can't say the same for most of the Supra guys I saw tho...

So why dont ya field some cars that can run all day, like you say they can, and we will have some racing and some fun. Isn't that what this is supposed to be about?

If you have a true King of street, we will be the first to stand tall and tell em all (like we did with Daniels Supra) and congratulate you for the achievement.

Now here's a fresh new dilema for you "chi-town street (drag) car racers,"
It's so amuzing to me that you think chicago is the only place with the fastest street (drag) cars.  You seem to forget that the rest of the country is beyond your city limits.  We've got some street (drag) cars here who would love to meet you guys.  (By here, I mean my town, not this site)  Now you guys are going to say "come up here" and we're going to say "come down here" blah blah blah blah blah.  Pick a track or street between us (TN) and you.  We have headlights, taillights, turnsignals, mufflers, full of interior, 10.5tires.  I'm sure I can talk a few of my customer to come along also.  (I'm in the race car wiring business) We are always looking for some good, clean, profitable fun.

I wish to apologize to the members of this board for discussing 1/4 mile drag racing in cars.  I'm getting severly persuaded by my car buddies who are currently looking over my shoulders (and foaming at the mouth).

I'm building my Bonneville bike to compete on the dragstrip as well. Some say it can't be done, I guess time will tell. It will probably be 6 months before it's ready, but once it is, I'm game to take on just about any cage that wants a piece. The bike will be set-up for dragracing or Bonneville with just a few changes (mostly gearing) and will be able to run 1/4 mile or 1 mile or rollon without any changes whatsoever.

My bike is far from the most powerful on this site, but should have more than enough cajones to respresent.

I'll let Hank take on whomever he wishes first, then I'm in line right behind him...

What's going to be the best way to try to get a turbo Hayabusa to hook up in cold weather? I'm thinking the softest compound 190/55 Rennsport or Supercorsa, and keep it wrapped up in a road race tire warmer powered by a portable generator until it's time to roll.

And I don't think anything over about 60" is going to hook. Putting it in the weeds may help to keep it down in the lower gears somewhat, but I don't think an 8" or 10" arm is going to put enough static weight on the rear tire.

This is why these car guys are reluctant to want to race for a mile or more ... because they are all 1/4 mile street racers.  The setup of a car for 1/4 mile vs. a mile top speed run is very different in the gearing department.  These cars maybe fast as hell in the 1/4 mile, but will probably run out of gearing on the top end.  In order for a cage to be setup correctly for top speed, it not only needs some diff regearing, but most likely tranny regearing in 5th and 6th gears (they are too spread apart from 4th by OEM) for optimum acceleration to top speed.

This is why it will be almost impossible for a cager that has his car setup for 1/4 mile runs to agree to run a 250 mph turboed Busa in a mile race. :yes:

I have watched the videos with the turbo busa and it seems that running against a car in a mile would be unfair. Turbo busa can easily do 220 mph and hold it it would just be a matter of wether or not the cars could get up to that speed(doubtful). A turbo busa would hit 220 before the mile was over.

the race offered was real simple.....1/4 mile, drag race with a lock in of $1000.00 minimun...thats all......all this talk of 7.20's on street tires inthe 1/4 and this and that, well....if you get a bike that went 7.20's on a street tire...fuck it, we wanna see and we WILL try you out on the street with it.....let's see you get it to run that number on the street.....we'll gamble!

As to us saying come here or whatnot and that it wont happen, you obviously dont KNOW Scandalous, we caravaned to Houston, Miami, Las Vegas, St. Louis, blah blah, so you can NOT test our credibility...been there done that....been draggin bumpers all over the US......seems only righ to get down in chitown...

We are ready here in ChiTown for whatever.....I look forward to meeting our Indiana guys, it should be fun, hell.....we will even back them if thier shit rides!!!!!!!!!

if were talking cars vs. cars here then I think the blue gts in the video would win a 1 mile run against a supra. I dont think the gearing on the supra would be appropriate for running a mile against a viper gts 6speed.

Oh, for crying out loud!

First, they thought that they could go gunning for us with their dyno queens by avoiding their weakness- lack of traction, because the whole rest of their car serves only as an interface between the engine and the dyno. But they got spanked anyway.

So now, we have the evolution of throwing more money into their dyno queens to obtain traction by back-halfing their cars to install Chevrolet 3-speed automatics and Ford 9" rear ends along with drag tires in order to play to our weakness (wheelie-limited acceleration). So the very best of them might hang with a ghetto turbo Hayabusa- for a quarter of a mile. But even a ghetto turbo will go 220 mph, and any Hayabusa will still go around corners and brake hard enough to hike the rear tire. But now the cage feels like it's driving on two flat rear tires, and doing top end runs on drag tires will remove them from the gene pool. Oh wait, their top speed has now been reduced to less than that of a stock Hayabusa in 4th gear... :roll:

if anyone should race it should be an environment where both cars or bikes have an advantage or disadvantage and not play to the strengths of either racer.

Damn, earlier I was told i have a pussy, now i'm being called one :roll: . Here's what i think. Those who have more hp ( turbos ) love to run longer distance so the hole shot doesn't make up so much of the race. Kind of rely on the hp to win the race insead of skill.( And don't tell me about the skill it takes to keep 500hp down, i rode a 400hp bike so i'm familiar) Most street races have always been based on 1/4 miles. I said MOST. I'm not sure where all the arguing is coming in. Turbo guys( again most ) want to go for a mile, car guys want 1/4 mile. I say do one of each for 1,000.00. Providing, the car actually can beat the bike through the 1/4 and they might as well give it up for the mile, you come out even and both will be able to show what each is capable of in their own race. Personally don't plan on running for $$ or a title ( king) but i will show for the opportunity to meet some new friends and have good time. I like running 1/4 mile so I will run a mile if that will make me only half a pussy, you know one lip instead of 2. :shock:

some of our faster shit goes 13.50 at like 106 mph, on slicks, some fast shit. :)

469 and pat, very well said......

A 1/4 mile drag race is a great place to meet in between, our 60ft gives us an edge (not that much) and the top end of the bikes equals it out....sounds like a DRIVERS race to me......you can be scared of a lil 1.3 (a high 1.3 at that) 60 ft on the street can you????????

Now, this is the dilema,

Now here's a fresh new dilema for you "chi-town street (drag) car racers,"
It's so amuzing to me that you think chicago is the only place with the fastest street (drag) cars.  You seem to forget that the rest of the country is beyond your city limits.  We've got some street (drag) cars here who would love to meet you guys.  (By here, I mean my town, not this site)  Now you guys are going to say "come up here" and we're going to say "come down here" blah blah blah blah blah.  Pick a track or street between us (TN) and you.  We have headlights, taillights, turnsignals, mufflers, full of interior, 10.5tires.  I'm sure I can talk a few of my customer to come along also.  (I'm in the race car wiring business) We are always looking for some good, clean, profitable fun.

I wish to apologize to the members of this board for discussing 1/4 mile drag racing in cars.  I'm getting severly persuaded by my car buddies who are currently looking over my shoulders (and foaming at the mouth).

(Fulltilt/Nickslick, it's not car vs bike, but you would get some amazing footage of some pretty radical vehicles, especially if it's on the street)

I make all my own harnesses.  I don't use anyone elses kits unless the customer brings it with the car.  There are plenty of good quality harnesses out there, but I trust my own a little better.  

Keep in touch about your cars and your travel plans.  We run a car in ProEdelbrock Vortech Xtreme Street (we have the current mph record in our class) but street racing is more our thing :wink: Next season we will be running 2 cars in Xtreme and possibly 1 in Super Street.

The cars that we run at the track in the Pro series are not the cars we use on the street.  They are too "class limited" for that.  We have a few cars that are more for "street use" with stock suspension.  Therefore, these cars won't be in Joliet at all...

I'm building my Bonneville bike to compete on the dragstrip as well. Some say it can't be done, I guess time will tell. It will probably be 6 months before it's ready, but once it is, I'm game to take on just about any cage that wants a piece. The bike will be set-up for dragracing or Bonneville with just a few changes (mostly gearing) and will be able to run 1/4 mile or 1 mile or rollon without any changes whatsoever.

My bike is far from the most powerful on this site, but should have more than enough cajones to respresent.

I'll let Hank take on whomever he wishes first, then I'm in line right behind him...

Hank, I'm pretty sure I could get over 250 MPH in a mile on that bike on pavement, or run a 8.xx quarter with it, I'm around 135 pounds now, which would help in the power/weight category!! :lol:

Finally sat and read the whole thing. First I have a Busa (stock) but also have been drag-racing most of my life. Lived to street-race till about 2years ago when Florida Laws changed, and had to go to Federal court for street-racing on Government property, No they were not happy and yes it was expensive..LOL.. Took it to the track for the most part at least put more effort into our Outlaw car. Our car fits into world street finals rules for Heavy street, 3500lbs, converter driven trans, one power adder, but we have been known to take out the ballast (500lbs) bolt on the 10.5s and go racing..yes it is a 23.1c car. At full weight testing for WSF we have been 7.89 @186 on big tires, on little tires and 3000lbs was alot faster. I am only saying I love both worlds and each has its own Rush, they both take skill and talent to be close to the top of either sport. And if this ever goes down please let me know we have a couple of cars around Florida that might want to play. I am sure West Palm has some players that always race....

CaBuss,

That sounds like a VERY impressive ride. What is it geared to run at the top end?? Do you limit yourself to doing 1/4 mile, or are you game to run other ways as well??

I'm sure the car is strictly set-up for 1/4 mile. And I bet 190 tops on top end. Pretty much what it does through he 1/4 is what it's geared to do. Just like on a bike, if your going to use 4 gears, use all of 4th, if you use 5 gears use all of 5th. Cars are set-up the same only they go by a 1:1 final drive wether they are a 2 speed, 3 speed, 4 or 5 speed. Go through the traps at the top of your powerband. He could gear it to go faster but will lose out in a 1/4 mile race and if he's coming that far, it's going to be geared for a 1/4 mile race and it ain't going to be for 1000.00 thats a fact! :wink:

are we talking "real" street cars or 25c1 chassis sporting 600+ cube motors.  i saw both ends while up there.  ASSC used to have some pretty stout true street cars up there.  i'm talking mid-upper nine second daily drivers.  then there were the 600" nitrous tube chassis "daily" drivers  :roll: .


Stock suspension, factory chassis cars....true street cars...period, we do have some of the other types of vehicles if needed,but generally we like to run full street cars, with AC and all!!!!!!!.....

 Took it to the track for the most part at least put more effort into our Outlaw car. Our car fits into world street finals rules for Heavy street, 3500lbs, converter driven trans, one power adder, but we have been known to take out the ballast (500lbs) bolt on the 10.5s and go racing..yes it is a 23.1c car. At full weight testing for WSF we have been 7.89 @186 on big tires, on little tires and 3000lbs was alot faster. I am only saying I love both worlds and each has its own Rush, they both take skill and talent to be close to the top of either sport. And if this ever goes down please let me know we have a couple of cars around Florida that might want to play. I am sure West Palm has some players that always race....

Pat you are 100% correct. Only 1/4 mile in this car, thats the way it is set-up and I dont have the BALLS to run any longer on 3.5 inch front tires...LOL.. Last time out it went 186 in 1/4 that was with 1450 rwhp, on Fogger and Plate, new combo is estimated to be around 2400rwhp, give or take a couple.. We are shooting for 200mph in 1/4 at 3100lbs. After this Feb there are no more 1/4 events down here that we run so we will be tuning on the 1/8 mile tracks. Been 1.16 60 foot on old combo on big tires..
Yes if we were to tow that far it would be for a little more than a 1000 and it would be 1/4 mile only, but this car doesnt get street raced. So if thats a problem, its cool, this car is only running on track, But fun as hell to drive to Hooters...LOL
Everyone has there own definition of street racing and racing in general, this is my .02.....Whatever is agreed to that is the race, if you only race for a mile then dont run a 1/4 and vise versa...In other words run your race....peace

The way i see this is chicago has grabbed their balls and called you all out. Then you guys make up a bunch of excuses as to why you cant race, cause your scared. You title yourself "queens" err im sorry "kings," but then when someone wants to challenge that title your pussies shrivel up. If you wanna call yourselves the kings of anything you gotta be ready to deffend that title, or give it up. We need a lil less excuses and some more racing here.

You got called out, what are you gonna do?
I'm game i just don't do 1/4 mile shit my bikes my daily ride and im not slammin it and a multistage clutch etc to race some car guys in 1/4
