But what mods he does say he has does seem to be true based off his 1/4 mile time/trap. His car runs hard for the stuff I'll give him that but ya he can be hella annoying lol

I'm locked in for the Saturday event in Chicago. Blake puts on an awesome event as I've been to most of his events since day 1.

Look fwd to meeting you all up there.

I'd like to get in on some of these matches I'm reading about too. I'm game for lining up with a 700rwhp ZR1; it's all in fun anyway.

Ya I think it will be close. My father has a stock ZR1 and they feel very similar. 2.4 upper, throttle body, tune, and a catless H pipe.

That should be +/- 700whp, I'm pretty sure you will get me in that case lol but I'm still curious I'd like to do a 50roll if that's a good spot for you

Haven't been to Chicago but at the Rabun event it's hard to get lined up smoothly for a 50 kick. 30 tends be easiest with space allowed for an even start. Nothing worst than the person next to you getting a 2-3 car head start unless you just want to make things interesting.

I'd like a run at the GT500.

Ya 40 seems to be the easiest at these events, but you can get to 50 fairly easy. It's just that some people take their sweet time to speed up to the agreed upon speed which usually makes the person waiting on the other person to slow down while the other guy is speeding up right before the cones which makes for a HUGE advantage. Happens all the times at these events unfortunately. At this event Im not gonna worry about the guy next to me anymore if they can't speed up fast enough to the agreed upon speed, I'm just gonna go.
