It's a very BIG money bet dudes! For the players, it's not about level playing field Cobra vs Ferrari, it's about going home with the marbles!

These guys are high stakes gamblers. It's all about winning. They would bet you $1,000 that their cup of coffee is hotter than yours..... 
We will get an update at the end of the day when the CACC guys are back home. Tommy rented the track all day and I doubt the CACC guys are doing home at 1pm when there is 1/2 a day of free track time left......oh and it's sunny and gorgeous here.
Some of us were lame and had to work.....

It is cold here in the DC area today. I run Drag radials on my Cobra and in the cold weather, they are no better than regular tires. I just blow them away. Also, . . My son has a modified factory supercharged 03 Cobra Mustang with the modern wide/low profile Goodyear F1 tires. They are OK in the summer, but in the cold, he also just blows them away too. I believe that the Ferrari will have similar tires to my sons F1s. If the Ferrari runs in the cold like today, he will have terrible traction just like the Cobra. The only way his traction/launch control can offset the lack of traction is by cutting WAY back on the throttle.

So what you're saying is that the Cobra owner is a horrible negotiator on the terms of the race.

When we first made the bet, I told Tom that I had slicks on the car and that i would run slicks and that he had to stick to his stock tires. Later on after he started asking around he then tried to stipulate that they had to be the exact same slicks at were on the car at the time of the bet. The tires I had on the car at the time of the bet were not full slicks, they were grooved slicks and I had every intention of putting on full slicks for the race. He however was obviously under the impression that we could put new tires on, but that they had to be the exact same, thus not allowing me to run full slicks as we agreed in the beginning of the bet. He killed it on the track today ran a few 11.2's and a bunch of 11.3's and I don't want that to influence this, but I have given him every edge possible when we negotiated the terms of this bet, like not making him use a tree so he wouldn't redlight and have a slow start etc. I feel like i have been very fair the whole way through, so I think I should be allowed to run slicks as I had intended in the beginning, but Tom doesn't agree. I really want to do this race, and its the only thing that has gotten me excited this year, I just want it to be fair, and I feel like me running slicks like agreed would make it a fair bet. But Tom doesn't agree, so I might just end up getting ****ed and have to run the road course tires i got on there now, unless we can agree on some fair arbitration...
