Highest trap CLS 63 run
Here is Rarfinancial racing Amir in Mo's E63...
Unfortunately , NO TIME SLIP..so thank goodness I watched and filmed this run although the quality sucks I do say the trap speed and I saw the 12.65 as did 3 or 4 others.
Da was 3000 feet , temp 80 degrees
Here is how this ranks.
The closest weather results for 10/26/2007 at 04:15 pm
Time recorded 3:53 PM
Temperature °F 80.6
Dew Point °F 37.4
Altimeter Setting 29.85 Inches Mercury
Absolute Pressure: 28.67 Inches
Density Altitude: 2943.9 feet
Track Elelvation: 1121 feet
UnCorrected ET:
12.65 (sec) @ 113.44 (MPH)
Corrected ET to Sea Level:
12.204 (sec) @ 117.673 (MPH)
MBFOREVER still has the quickest ET corrected in the USA at 12.17 from his 12.59 run on 9/21 but his trap is not as fast as Ricks. I ran a 12.65 last time at the track 9/21 which corrected down to a 12.26@116, DA was not as high 500 feet less, either way corrected or uncorrected the run is the fastest a car has gone in So Cal. 113.44 in Sacramento we trapped some 113.5's. Greg had some 112 plus traps on 10/26 as well, outstanding

I went to work today 
Just got home and the ash is still falling here in S.D. Looks like we have another CLS63 in SO CAL Tipo815 we need to get him on board to the track. I still think we are nuts driving these car on the drag strip I'm torn between show or go.

Yeah, that wasn't right man? What happened to your car???? It was hilarious though....
Everytime I watch the video, I start laughing as soon as I hear your voice saying: "dude, what happened to your car?" Yeah, Amir wasn't really focusing on taking off quickly or reaction time. Rather, he wanted to take his time and get a good fast run in there...... you know....... for the records
Rick, your car is amazing; it took the record of the fastest 63 trap speed in the first day you drag raced. And you ain't seen nothing yet. Your car will only get better from here on end.....

113.5 I ran in Sac, hopefully we can all head up there real soon.
There have been some uncorrected 115 -116 mph runs, but I am certain Rick burries this stuff as he becomes a better driver.

It was my first time at the drag strip. I am as green as they come
I had lots of questions answered once I got there. All the forum guys that were there all very cool people and lots of help. With that being said, I would say it was either my expert driving or Renntech . I feel that my car has much more to give. I will be back at the track on 11/30/2007. We will see what happens. I will tell you this, I really got the hang of things with only 8 runs under my belt expect to see some great runs in the future. I have a few tricks up my sleeve Juicee, Trez, M5 forever, MB forever, Jangy, Mo(call sign?) and all the others thanks for all your help, hope to see and run you all there . I need the practice ..

on 9/21 my CLS 63 ran a 12.65@112.35 12.252 (sec) @ 116.085 (MPH)
on 10/26 12.72@111.25 12.271 (sec) @ 115.349 (MPH)
Ricks on 10/26 12.65@113.44 12.204 (sec) @ 117.673 (MPH)
Times corrected to sea level.
Rick's best time at California Speedway is .048 quicker and 1.588 mph faster.
He did this his first time to the drag strip.
So yeah the modifications likely helped.
this is just the beginning for Mr. Rarfinancial.
My ligght weight battery did not improve my runs. My best run on 9/21 was better than my best run on 10/26, and I weighed 60-65lbs less.
