Is this your car Dan? If so, it looks sweet. I love the polished body and brushed stripes.

All --I don't think that's Blitz's car, but those are definitely his tires. What is a new set of those going to be like to drag in?

Folks this will be more of a race than it initially appeared. Tommy and Blitz - Can you post confirmation of date and location? If I can swing the getaway time on short notice (a bit of an "IF" with all the other stuff going on), I will fly up from St. Lucia just to see it happen.

You are handicapping him substantially as he may be able to get into the 11's with those tires, but that is not what he needs to compete with you. They aren't even as good as the vintage 60's road race tires like are still available today (6.00's & 8.00's). Blitz's tires were made in old dirt track bias ply molds with a relatively hard compound to be run on the street as a period look tire. Their only performance advantage is being decent in some degree of water. You need to let him run the DOT Mickey Thompson radial slicks. Those are no where near the same as a real wrinkle wall dragster slick, but would allow Blitz to have a chance and make the race fun and interesting. Anything less and you are setting him up.

Better than the low speed-rating radials available in traditional cobra sizes, but not as good as slicks. These are what we call Billboards...a rain treaded roadracing tire/bias ply.

Thanks Tommy - if I can confirm in time, it will be a great excuse for a quick getaway to Vegas. No, I didnt hear from KC, but now that I see who the opposition is, I don't think he's likely to be an easy stake. You know him well, but unless he's just plain nuts, it seems unlikely he'd stumble into a sucker bet - he's a poker player after all!

I agree.
I don't think Blitz is running Goodyear Bill Boards, his comment earlier noted a "grooved slick" of some kind. Likely a DOT legal street slick. Not a snow balls chance in hell with the Bill Boards, no way he can win, wouldn't even be a race worth watching in my opinion.
FRESH, DOT legal street drag tires at the very least. Wrinkle walls would help level the field and make it a real race. Tommy's traction control with the stock Ferrari tires would STILL be equal to wrinkle wall's.

If y'all think blitzforce is gonna be a pushover - think again.
It's still going to be a hell of a task to win one race against Tommy and his Ferrari, but let's just leave it at saying blitzforce is no newbie wannabe who bought one-a-them Cobra cars so he could be the king of the local show'n shine. (And his car is no garage-queen slouch either)

Since we're speculating on everything else.....
Well, the logic isn't sound , but if the IRS charges a 10% penalty for filing late taxes, I would say that the bet is $500,000, if there's a $50,000 penalty.

WOW! You guys bought this "high stakes race" hook, line, and sinker Step back, look at the big picture, none of it adds up. Cobra owner who is a "rookie with slicks" bwahahaha! Ferrari owner comes to the clubcobra asking for opinions Inconsistencies all over the place, there will never be a race nor was there one ever planned. Just two guys jerking your chain and getting one big hoot out of it!
Hey jokers, being the buds that you are, post a pic of your cars side by side with you two next to 'em, yeah should be no problem!

Even if what you say is true....
We don't care... and are enjoying the thread regardless!
Why are people such skeptics and haters?

Probably true, easier to talk to yourself when engaged in a fantasy. Listen to this "big time lawyer" whine ...
Machiavelli - you are as stupid as much as you are a jerk.
But I just don't have any interest in doing that on a site populated by such an ass, even when everyone else on the site recognizes that's what you are
Wow, now he speaks for the thread! What does this "big time lawyer" do when someone challenges one of those pipe dreams that make into the court room
Tommy, you want some cheese with that WHINE lol
