For those who like to go fast...
''For the first time at an airstrip in the Windy City, screaming exhaust and race gas will permeate your senses as sports cars, muscle cars and hot rods make their way down a private airstrip. Got the itch for speed? wannaGOFAST and TheChicagoGarage present the Chicago Half-Mile Shootout at Bult Airport, located 40 miles south of downtown Chicago in Monee, Illinois. On June 1st and 2nd, man up, dump the clutch and hold on for a half-mile down Bult Airfield's private 5,001-foot runway. See what it’s like to finally race without the restrictions of speed limits on your own private interstate! Participation as a racer is open to the public and limited to 150 cars each day so be sure to register early -- spots will fill quickly. Don’t have a car? Don’t fret, because spectating is open to the public on both days as well.''

No pictures of an EVO.

$195 entry fee. Yikes. Guess they want to keep the riff raff out.

Looks like a lot of fun though.

I went to the GA heavens landing event and had an absolute blast. Between my brother and I we made 6-7 runs in his supra. I've only driven that car a few times prior to that event but never at that power level. Toyo R888 are a hellva tire btw.
I would highly recommend this event for anyone. Here are a couple vids.

Also, one of the guys had an AWD swapped Colt but had some issues with his antilag/clutch top switch.

Is this event an annual or will it become annual? I could not attend this year but would be for it in the years to come.

"Do you want some roll?" "No man, I'm going from the dig, I'm going for 170." Now that's a great way to start a Friday morning. Thanks.

Quote: This looks awesome! How many times can you run?
It was a fun day! There were about 125 cars at first but after a few passes most people just watched. We could've ran 10-15 times if we wanted to. There was a LS1 miata out there running hot laps. He probably ran 10 times.

Moved to the regional forum and stuck for you, you'll get more visibility this way.

After the event is over, I'll unstick it.
