Copy and pasted the info below...

For those who like to go fast..more than a 1/4mi..
''For the first time at an airstrip in the Windy City, screaming exhaust and race gas will permeate your senses as sports cars, muscle cars and hot rods make their way down a private airstrip. Got the itch for speed? wannaGOFAST and TheChicagoGarage present the Chicago Half-Mile Shootout at Bult Airport, located 40 miles south of downtown Chicago in Monee, Illinois. On June 1st and 2nd, man up, dump the clutch and hold on for a half-mile down Bult Airfield's private 5,001-foot runway. See what it’s like to finally race without the restrictions of speed limits on your own private interstate! Participation as a racer is open to the public and limited to 150 cars each day so be sure to register early -- spots will fill quickly. Don’t have a car? Don’t fret, because spectating is open to the public on both days as well.''

Chicago Half Mile Shootout 2013 - The Chicago Garage
Pricing:
$195 promo pricing (once registration goes live). $225 after two weeks of registration being open.
$15 for spectators.

Standing 1/2 Mile

More details to follow in the coming weeks & months.
