Do you know how efffing hard it's been to keep my big trap shut?!

Thank you so much for allowing me to pilot this animal. What was it, 5 passes? And I think it got quicker each time out. I've tracked uncountable fast cars, but I don't recall ever feeling a street car, 4 door sedan nonetheless, bite so hard. The feeling of that 1.50(with another zero btw) 60' is something I won't soon forget. Or looking back to find a place to rest your hat, and toss into a baby seat. Kinda hit close to home and I knew I had to keep it out of a wall. I'm nuts, I'll psychoanalyze my entire existence all before a pre-stage. I still think I owe somebody for chicken from lunch. Couldn't sleep because of it. Ok, way too far....

Again thank you for trusting me enough to pilot her. It's not every day that you get a stranger casually toss you the keys to a nuclear warhead.


I have no clue what voodoo you and Bruce have going on, but keep on doing it.

Real quickly, I want to share just how cool everyone was at this event. Anytime I looked around, there was comradeship and genuine desire to see everyone do well. Dodger was open about wanting to raise the C63 flag over the E55's, and I was open about wanting the same for the E55(now the old guard of AMG). There was never anything personal, just the same desire for each of our cars. Ahmad took turns piloting the 63, while BB and BOR served the 55 platform.
So, partway through the day, dodger struck hard by breaking into the 6's while we only had 3 runs under our belt(.78, .75, .75) in that order. It was our 4th pass when everything started coming together, running a .67, inching past dodger. So, what does he do???
"Hey BK, you need to run Ahmad's skinnies". Off they came from dodger's car while he sat and watched us run a .61 followed by a .59. That was a HUGE gesture, and much appreciated my friend.
In turn, we parked the E at 4:00 and swapped my d/r's onto dodger's car, helping him run a .67 and finally a .66 That is crazy fast for n/a!!

Everyone pitched in swapping wheels, sharing tools, ice, food, and at one point BOR even tried sharing his nuts....lol
Above it all, Ahmad deserves the good guy award. Bringing down two sets of d/r's which undoubtedly got burned down, and skinnies, coordinating the event, jockeying cars, and never even running his own ride. Hope you know none of that went unnoticed. Thank You!!!

excellent job guys! bruce is one of the most selfless, helpful guys i have met in a long time. has gone above and beyond for me and if you added up the time he has personally spent helping me in my struggles he has probably made less than a bag clerk at albertsons. solid numbers and solid runs. way to go everyone!!

BK, can you list your mods and weight reduction you had at MIR? Pump or race gas and known dyno numbers for whatever tune was used, congrats again.

That car is an abslute monster! And the fact that it's NA is mind boggling. You can hear a bit of spin off the line and I short shifted the 3-4 I think Mike will get a 10.59 really soon!

Thanks BK! You're welcome. That sounds like the typical rental in the past year for me. The great thing about these events (besides the DA and track prep etc) is the people. I always say the people are what makes the rentals so special. We have a great group of guys that are all interested in helping each other go fast and friendly competition. We are lucky to have this group. And we are always happy to have more good people, welcome to the group

HAHA.. I did a screen capture too before I saw yours. that is as close to a wheelie as you can get.

I know Bruce is known as the burnout king, it is possible he will now become the Wheelie King???

LOOK at that rotation!!

Definitely the best events one can attend are these MIR rentals!! Great group of guys and talk about sharing everything.. I remember last year how Mike (Dodger) and Hagi (mthis) had to share a Bed at a nearby hotel, Mike preferred Albanian over Spanish A$$..


Congrads again BK!! I knew your car had it in it from day one, trust me. You have studied and mastered this platform to raise a bar that was already high to an almost unreachable level
