Check out the trap speed, dead even, guy roasted me on the 60ft and the launch. Trap is the same yet he beats me by nearly 1 second. Guys car nearly hit the wall later as his car leaves the ground alot.
Enjoy.

Yeah if you ever go to the track
Stay away from

This guy gets his B U G airborne, and he will come accross into your lane , great driver though he recovers quick and still may wax you, lol. If I could launch like he did I wonder if I could get a 12.5 since thats what he got and we trapped the same. I think I did slightly better. Im going to look up his 60ft.
OMG ME
Bug
60ft=1.662 2.142
ET=12.396@105.111 13.342@105.495
I think this means I was slightly pulling after he jumps out to a HUGE lead?
When I say slightly I mean a tiny bit , I woull catch the bug when it started falling apart at 120mph, lol
Bug would do 11.656@112 at sea level due to his incredible 60 ft time

Hey Juice,
Nice vid. A couple of pointers, When you warm up your tires stay in the box longer untill you can see the smoke around your whole car.Then release the brake and stand on the gas untill you fell the car hook. The car will tuck a little when the tires hook you will feel it. And leave when you can see the last yellow barley comes on. It will help your lights alot.
What i do between rounds is stand behind the lights and watch the other people with full trees run.

funny you should say this.
That day was the first time I vere felt the car "hook" . I am going today with my NEW BFG's. Those tires were MPSCups and they did very very well. So I will really get em hot, foot off brake and hammer it? Wont the car just launch past the tree? I think my lights are very good I had several .002 an .009 reactions. Nothing worse than a .238 . What do you think the best 60ft time we can achieve is My best was a 1.921 with 99% of my runs coming in at 2.1-2.4. Should you hear squeeling at all? I know the car after the launch keeps traction now because I used to feel the tire spin , now it only slightly sins on the launch. Next time you go put your ride in DYNO you will crush your 12.87. You are not going to believe how well the car shifts! Just do not run out of fuel like me
On that run

The car will hook within 15 feet, just hammer it if you don't feel it hook lift and try adjusting tire pressure. If you let off a little it will still hook. When you get in the water box with those new slicks smoke the **** out of them it brings the compounds out of the tires and removes the glaze.
When your at the track next time watch the slick cars warm up their tires. Notice how the car comes out of the box with a churp. Thats when your ready for LAUNCH!!!
I also tryed that little trick you told me about yesterday. One word WOW
I think the 63 record is going to fall real soon

My E63 does not have the 030 package. It's bone stock. The rearend in the standard E63 has a lock up of 30 or 40 percent. It works good so far with stock tires.

Im hooking up fine , should I be pushing the car out more upon the start? I was doing fine power braking at 1100 rpm, now with the BFG the car sticks . Should I rev to the point I can feel the car starting to move. Last night I got to 2500 the car chirps out but my time was 13.43 and 60ft was still over 2 @ 2.108. With the pilot sport cups I managed a 13.3 and a 1.92 on a hotter than sh*t day. Can letting the pressure out too much slow the car down the track. I think going to 15 psi may have been a mistake but the car definately hooks from 15-28 psi. The other pilots were at 30psi. I am not convinced on my launch yet. I had the #1 reaction time of all cars .008 and they announced it LOL. So I am stuck between 13.3-13.5@105 your 12.36 corrected is slightly better than my 12.48 but I think the weight diff and drag diff puts the torch in an E63's hands. GET TO A TRACK BOB!
