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

[spoolin ddub]

I forgot to mention I contacted Wannagofast about getting Nyce1's to come out and also cover the event. I connected with Nyce1's and they down for it so hopefully the two can work something out so Nyce1's can be there to do what they do.

Sorting out some clutch issues, replacing the dampener.. then installing new springs/cams and dyno time. All before June!

Feels like I'm out of time already.

Better jump on it! June will be here before you know it. It's crunch time !

Can't wait to see some vids of this. If I could afford I'd go just to watch.

Update. People are selling their spots so there are spots now available!! One of my guys with a 240 just bought a spot yesterday. So if you want to run now is your chance!!!

I got in contact with UGR. They may be entering the next Chicago 1/2 Mile SO!!!

 

[spoolin ddub]

Ok. There has been talk of rain by weather people for Saturday 40-60%. The Event may be postponed to the following weekend if this happens. They will have a decision by 3pm tomorrow.

 

[spoolin ddub]

Event is good to go as schedule for June 1st & 2nd

 

[LandSpeed-DSM]

Race car will not be ready in time for the shootout, so I'm taking the Fit to get some footage from a slow car's perspective. Maybe I will convince an AMS Alpha 12 to give me a 17 second jump so they can blow by at full steam..

Devin's 2G went 204mph in the half-mile right before lunch. I didn't have time to get my camera ready, but plenty others did.

Some serious hardware running today lot of cars trapping 180+

Raining now.

Of what little I was able to shoot between runs, this has to be the best clip to capture the insanity of today - GTR going >190mph under a private chopper doing the moonwalk:

I was hitting rev limiter (9900 rpm) in 2nd and 3rd from watching making sure I have good afr. I ran 154.99 mph.

2nd run 20mph rolling knowing afr good run next to modded vette. he went from a stop so he jumped on me pretty good but i was catching up to him like a damn freight train...till throttle cable bracket broke in 4th and car coasted to 153.80mph. He went 158.3mph so I know that would have been a 160+ mph pass for me.

Im very very happy seeing the car was only tuned on a couple a pulls at 25psi with 11.2 afr's. I was going off boost compensation to 29psi.

I was wondering what had happened. You were moving!

I really wanted a 165 mph pass. After I saw what the vette trapped I knew that would have been it .

Did anyone get any videos

Dubb aren't you running an AMS Race balance shaft instead of the little stubby shaft?

 

[spoolin ddub]

Goog ole Chicago. Yesterday was 76*. Today was 48* and I jus said #### it. I'm running! I and put a small vice grip to hold the top piece of bracket back in place, wrapped bracket with a cable tie and a clamp, and reset the TP on AEM. The condition of the airstrip was not good. No one could hooked due to the weather. I was swirly in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and part of 4th and hit 157mph at 29psi

A guy from MN let me use his go pro. I'm just waiting for him to send me the links of the 2 runs.

yeah I didnt get to devin it but I know he cranked the boost up pretty high . I think like 50psi. Buschur was out there to with a yellow evo. Yusuf cranked boost up on his evo 2 and went 184. Reichen was in his auto and went 152. It was like a mini shootout . Mitsu's represented and shocked the hell out of alot of people. There was alot of bad ass cars out there. I can't wait till next year. This was alot funner then just drag racing 1/4.

 

[95talongirl]

Yeah, I was thrilled to see Devin's car putting the hurt on the plethora of GTR's that were there. haha! Nice work guys on reppin' the diamonds! Looking forward to the videos!
