My carbs are leaking gas and the parts are gonna take a week to get here, goldstien also wants to **** me on my tires after he specifically told me if i wanna run different slicks than what is on the car he could run slicks. My tires are considered grooved slicks and I was counting on getting full fresh race slicks b/c we agreed we get fresh tires for the race I get slicks and he has to keep his stock tires. So since there was disagreement I said fine we both can run slicks then, he now is saying he will not honor that offer b/c it gives me the edge. This being said will all you ****ing traitors quit giving this skinny little gut maggot advice please and focus on sending me PM's no one has sent me **** and I think I need all the help I can get since i can't even drive my car till next week, i've only driven it a couple times since i made the bet, and I can't get on the track for 2 weeks to practice. Do you all really wanna see that homo in his electronic prancing pony win this race??? Get it together and get on the right side plz. Tyty

And the race is on March 2nd if either driver isn't ready its a 50k penalty and if they don't have the full bet amount in cash they forfeit the entire bet.

In normal racing circles, SCCA and such, ANY DOT approved tire is considered a street tire and is thus legal for competition. "Grooved" slicks, are typically DOT approved, or they wouldn't have the groove's!

It's logical and fair to simply say, you both gotta run DOT approved tires. Blitz, you GOT to run at least DOT slicks or you got no chance.

Sure would be nice if some of you Vegas guys could hook up with Blitz while his car is down and go do some test runs and driver training. Then repeat when he get's his car running!

So, Tommy, you might nod off? Now THATS funny!

Tom can play with the A/C, sip a latte, locate his favorite radio station and text his friend in the other lane and still beat his buddy three times.

Tommy, for the record. I'm quoting myself from a few pages back. I got your back. Good analysis.

So some cash plus the title to the Kirkham. Cobra breaks first.

Blitzforce or Tommy,
Am I to understand that Blitzforce is only allowed to run the tires that are on his car regardless of age or condition? Old grooved slicks become very hard over time and need to be replaced or they can be worse than standard street tires. I would think you would allow any DOT legal radial tire, but you guys need to get this aspect ironed out.

Hi Twin Turbo. It's hard to understand Blitz's rants (as you're learning), but here's the situation: he's absolutely allowed to put new tires on his car; old ones aren't safe. But the bet is for the same equipment and he's not allowed to put a new *and different* set of tires on his car that will make it go faster. If folks want to understand how Blitz makes money as a VC when he's so obviously insane, the answer is simple: his dad does the work.

Incidentally, I tried my launch control for the first time (and made Blitz listen over the phone). It's pretty amazing. I screwed it up by not flooring the car. But honestly, I just wait for it to get to 9k rpms and pull a lever. 21% of the people in the survey are betting on Blitz winning because I screw up and I have literally no idea how I'm supposed to do that. I'll run a bunch of practices to make sure I don't get scared, but the car drives itself. Sorry.

This is sounding like a couple of tough talking kids who decide to fight after school because of some silly bantoring. The whole student body is excited to see it go down and the talk keeps going back and forth. As the day wears on the two kids really don't want to fight anymore but both are pressured into it by the mob that surrounds them. The two kids get surrounded by a ring of spectators that want to see blood and they keep getting pushed back into the ring. You guys shot your mouths off and have to back it up, the big wager is gonna hurt, and Blitz will lose his ferrari loving girl friend anyway. Have fun.

Blitz, I don't know all the conditions you guys have set but I think your best bet might be to install a two-speed(powerglide). Take the mistakes out and use the torque.

Blitzforce, hope I got to it in time. Hope it helps out.

Long story short, "we are family" and we have a great passion for the Cobra and as CC members have a history of coming to the aid of a fellow Cobra owner.

Tommy, you gotta understand, pasion has a lot to do with this, just like the bet, we are all Cobra owners in kind and just love the notion of a Cobra-Ferrari smackdown.

If Blitz gets his act together, learns how to handle his car, gets the right tires, he's may have a shot at taking the Ferrari once, just because its a Cobra and has a history. Thus the vote for the Cobra.

Other members may have a different opinion, but this is mine. Cheers, John AKA, tin-man

What happened to February 25th, is there a start time for March 2 or is the entire day booked? Having all the details would be helpful. Thanks. tin-man

Yo Blitz, perhaps can we get your real name, we all know Tommy by now and it sure would be nice to know who you are and what type of guy we are dealing with other than a another Cobra owner, your recent comments to the contrary.

Thanks guys for the help, I was getting worried there for a minute, seemed like rats jumping from a sinking ship haha. Let that homoerotic ferrari forum give him words of support, I will get it together once my carbs are fixed, and I can get a little seat time in the car. It will be so embarrassing when i blow the doors off ferraris latest baby with 50 year old technology. My name is Dan Bilzerian.
