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.
|
Buzz et al - we definitely post the info when we get it. Did you hear something from KC?
|
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!:LOL:

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) http://hotlink.myspacecdn.com/images...f17e95ea/m.jpg |

We haven't publicly said what the bet is; it's a lot.

Boys,
A fair race would be the Cobra on drag radials and the Ferrari sans the traction assist. THAT would be fair. Heads up race IMHO. |

Well, the logic isn't sound :LOL:, 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. :confused: **) :rolleyes: |
I think the IRS penalty is something like 4% for failing to file quarterly taxes, but I wouldn't use any logic like that. :)
I appreciate all the suggestions about what would make this race "fair," and all I can say is that those all make their way right on to my list of things I would never, ever agree to in a million years. I'm not looking for a fair fight; I'm looking to win. But to be clear, after the race with the bet is done, Blitz can put whatever he wants on the car and we'll run it for pride. |
A regular riot, this fellow. Sure reflects well on the Cobra hobby
“Blitz? He’s a blast” says fellow Team Victory member Andrew Robl. “He once wanted to go to a Halloween party but didn’t have a costume. So he and a buddy pulled over his car, blitz opened his trunk, pulled out some camo pants and a machine gun and rolled up in the party with a loaded machine gun. After getting drunk and letting girls play with the loaded gun his boys ex-filed him w/o incident |
There's absolutely no question that Blitz could arrive at this event packing serious heat. An anti-aircraft rifle is not out of the question. That's just the openng bid.
|
Blitz should import in a tuning mechanic capable of getting the best out of the Kirkham (and a little launch coaching). With all that cash on the line, it would be a no-brainer. And for God's sake, buy some tires and use racing gas. A capable Cobra mechanic will put you right.

Blitz, your head is going to explode with so many people giving you bench racing advice. In your line of work, you probably have hired consultants now and again. Take advice from only those who have raced 1/4 mile in a cobra. Hire Keith Craft to come down to consult, tune and train you.. Prepare, Prepare, Prepare..... Be safe!
|
Sorry, no -- part of the bet was we couldn't get a coach.

Not getting a coach...is that for game day only? Coming here and getting bench tips is kinda like getting coached.
Can either one of you get coached during practice in the days and weeks prior to the actual race? |
