2010 RRS ; BMW K1200R; 14 E350 ; 14 RRS on order
Not to be stickler for points but I ran the 12.8 at 110.9 
Oh and I nailed the R/T at .002 lol, wish that mattered.
Thank you all, that was more fun that I had imagined. I went to bed at 8 PM and woke up at 10AM. 14 hours baby.
Next time I'm bringing a van with food.
We definitely found out a lot about the cars. Heat made a HUGE difference. If we could find a way to cool the cars down faster we could have a lot of very quick runs.
When both cars were cool, the E63 beat the E55 very consistantly to the 1/4 with trap speeds a good 3 mph higher than the 55.
The general consensus was that the 55 was quicker but the 63 was faster. Though Jangy was adament that he's kicked all our asses cause he won the head-to-head races against some of the 63s. It didn't seem to matter to him that every 63 had at least one run better than his best and we all trapped higher even though he had the most runs.
Overall, great day. Next time I'm bringing tons of food.

Phil's 55 with cooling mods and a larger TB was super consistant and out ran the stock 63's with a 12.61@112. Phil was the most consistant.
Jrocket in his modded 55 , ranged from 11.9-12.2 @ 115-118mph
His car is definately a runner
Shawn in his modded 55 ran the best time of the day
11.7@118 which was what Jrocket ran last time. Shawn and John's cars are very close in performance.
My best runs were 11.82 at 117 and 11.85 at 117.I just couldnt get into the 11.7 range.My favorite was my 2.21 60ft with a 1.29 at 117...Thanks again water box director!
Shawn's best was 11.74 at 118 and then a 11.76 at 118,
