Here are some videos from the airstrip at the No Fly Zone event. It was a great time and a lot of fun. Had some good runs before it got wayyyy too hot. Met some good people out there and some people who hate losing... Big shout out to Tony @ Omega Motorsports for putting it on.

I dont own a GoPro, but I asked to borrow one later in the day for the memorable ones.

First Vid is against a CTS-V Coupe with the Hennessey Performance 650 package. He learned later in the day that a 50MPH roll was stronger for his car than a 40mph roll.


Next I ran a Ferrari 430 Scuderia. Absolutely beautiful car, and the owner was a great guy and ran about everyone at the track. Big ups to him for actually running a Ferrari how it should be run!


Later in the day a Viper showed up, not sure what year, but the thing had some work done to it. After our run he pops the hood and hes got a Paxton Supercharger on it pushing around 700 Horsepower... Needless to say he handled me..


I was really happy how my car performed, it surpassed my expectation and really drew some attention to AMG's that were out there.

I would've thunk the Scuderia would be at least even or close considering it's curb weight.

Good run though.

We raced again later once it got really hot and he was able to catch me. They come on really hard after 100, you can see in the video from 100 to near 150 he starts closing that gap.

Great runs buddy!

Still working on getting the rest of mine uploaded, one of which was against the same Viper.

Did you race the guy that sandbags everyone in the Z06? I want everyone to see that "air intake/tune" in action.

I can say this from experience... a scud is a very close match up with a stage 5 55k (510-530 whp +). The 55k with take it from rolling 80kph all the way up top, but it keeps up well,the scud losing more so up top to the 55k.

You pulled hard on that scud, which does not make sense....either he did not have it in the right gear/ hit the limiter, or the C63 is a serious beast with tune and LT only (470whp tops)

Thanks for sharing and glad you guys had fun well done

Faris63

Sure his C63 is beast with tune and LT

My car is making +590whp on 91 pump gas at the event I was running 100 octane too to help putting little more power to the wheels but I got CEL after couple passes caused by the spark plugs I cleared the codes and the car ran great after that I know the Scud weights 3100 lb compared to my CLS63 4200 lb that maybe helped the Scud

Gallardo LP560-4 weight less than the Scud and more powerful
Heres a race from last shift-s3ctor event it was close race

Zod

would have thought u would have pulled him big time at the top.
If you are making 590whp, you should pull bus lengths on the F scud

johnnyblaze

I think a 40mph roll is more into my powerband than the Scuderia's, maybe something higher would have benefited him more or he was between gears. I know when I raced him later in the day he got the jump and pulled me hard on the top end and had me by 1 car easy. By that time my car was heatsoaked pretty good as it was over 95 degrees and my car was trapping 145 rather than 152+. Either way I was really impressed with my car and the other Benz's that were there. We all held our own really well.

Nice runs man, those airstrip events are a blast.
