Saturday Night at Speed World Drag Strip. AMG Power Rules!

Greetings,
I wanted to share some of Saturday night’s experience with a few of my friends and family. I’m the one racing the 2006 CLS 55 AMG. My car is bone stock. Nothing was removed from the car to make it lighter. I weigh 240 lbs. I'm burning 91 octane for fuel on Pirelli PS2 stock rims and tires. I have drag slips if I can figure out the best way to post them. I surprised many spectators. Special thanks to my brother David the videographer.

The following links are video clips on You Tube of some of my experience at Speed World in Surprise. I hope you enjoy.

Way to go, you'll be plenty ready by our event. I was out there a few weeks ago running during the day. I'll probably be out there on friday night doing some bracket racing then going back on saturday night for import vs domestics. Hope to see you out there.

Car looks hot and you did great considering I ran off the end of that very same track in similar conditions.

You can hear traction is giving way, yet you and your car seem to come out nicely time and time again.

Thanks for the videos and hope we can meet in DEC!
