This is hilarious stuff. I'm torn who to support, I'm obviously a die-hard 55 guy but also don't want to disrespect a fellow Chicago'an (well, Naperville isn't that far... )

If I only had more times these days to participate in more internet-fueled smack talking... reminds me of the old days.

I understand your reasoning. Nobody in Vegas to pay? I was gonna say bring cash but forgot you want your ride compensated. WHO IS IN VEGAS?

I already told you the rules. No NOS. If you will allow it, I would like to remove your airbox and swab the TBs within 30minutes or so after the race. Also, I'd like to stick a probe in your exhaust immediately after the race for less than two minutes. Is that acceptable. No inspections needed other than that.

I''ll send the money to you, I trust you...I think
I know you will hold up your end. It's just this has happened before and nothing came of it. Everybody likes free money.

I was kidding. I wouldn't want to be responsible for $20k of peoples money I don't even know. Not enough money to flee the country either lol

If there is actually money put up for this I will try to fly out for it. Never been to Vegas and I hear it's alot of fun!

Here is your reply. You really think a 63 is going to pull an 11.4 in Vegas at this time of year?

I already thought of that but it's not secure enough. I wire transfer money to casinos all the time, I can just as easily have them wire the money right back to me with a phone call or click of a mouse. If one of us wanted to renig or back out it would be very easy and as I stated before this is a tank of fuel and a 3-4 hour drive for Jangy, it's gonna cost me 2 days and $1000 bucks just to get my car out there, I would prefer knowing the funds are still there when I arrive.

Jangy, Accuweather say it's sunny and a high of 94 today in Vegas with 40% humidity, Friday it's supposed to be in the lower 90's and much cooler at night. Besides, we are both gonna be runing in the same conditions at the same time so I could car less if it's 120 degrees out there. You are obviously more concerned with the weather and heat than I am (blowers are great aern't they?). Once again, my passes at the LET U.S 41 event last Saturday had worse weather conditions than that, it was mid 90's 85% humididty and I still managed a 11.70 on motor only @ 600 feet above sea level.

You must have some skewed visions of our weather conditions here in the midwest, it's terrible here in the summer and early fall months. 90 plus and usually 80%-99% humidity. At least vegas is dry, I think it's at 2500 ft, but it's dry.

Oh. People can speculate all they want. The only thing that matter is the outcome of the race.


Being a mod just means you are partial to Evosport

Being a mod means you get a 2 week timeout for questioning my impartiality.

NO allegiances here to anyone, if the Evosport car wins it will be because its the fastest or the best driven- If Jangy wins the same rules apply.

Can we specify exactly what the bet is?

My preferences would be to bet on certain things on each race and the things I would like to bet on are:

Best anything is not of the day, but side by side

Best 60 foot. I'll be all in the 1.6s
Best 1/8th mile.
First to line.

I would love to bet on hot laps. The ones you posted werent hot laps. I have over 20 runs that are all within 3 - 5 minutes of the prior run. That is why I would prefer an open track vs worrying about lines, but if it is Friday or MIR I'll take Friday.

I'll wire the money to you if he agrees to do the same. You just have to agree to release ALL the funds to the winner or to the person that shows up should someone not make it.

THOSE WERE NOT HOT LAPS???? I MADE 4 PASSES ALL WITHIN 9 MINUTES TOTAL, ABOUT 2.5 MINS APART.

Why are you back peddling now? Earlier you said 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile. I agreed to either one, your choice. So which do you want? 1/8 or 1/4 from a tree.

There is no way in hell you can run 20 hot laps at a test and tune at a busy track. Plus thats just crazy. The faster car can be determined in best of 3 runs. Max best of 5.

I'm gonn have to think that nobody wants to sit and watch you guys make 20 passes at MIR since we all would like to run too

Done and Jangy has concurred. Ill create a dummy account for this event and when you two are ready Ill PM you the number. Once both parties have made their deposits and the ACH has cleared I will update and we will proceed to the challenge.

Any interest earned (not much) will go the winner.

Two men enter, one man leaves. J vs. J and may the best J win.
