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!
