Mile run for $1000 - anyone near Chicago want to take it on?
« 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.

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 really wish OG was there.The set up on it now will take one hell of a car to beat.I have no doubt it will run over 250 in a mile on pavement.

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.

A mile run? How they proving winner? Hell ya if we can wait for warmer weather I'll run, but a grand won't get me to show. Tell them to get their purses ready.
