Congrats Dude! That 60' time is pretty sick! Were you guys at Firebird?
Do you guys have tire pressure monitors in your wheels? Just thinking out loud as to why you'd get a CEL when you put the drag wheels on.

All I know is Mercedes are a huge hit at the drag strip. The tower announcer was on my radio in the car and he said " Well folks, After the smoke clears believe it or not a Mercedes is going to come out of it" Then he said "Watch these Mercedes, don't bee fooled these things are fast" Being a bit of a sleeper is growing on me....
Not to mention the tech inspector passed me at tech because he didnt think i was racing.

Hot hot burnouts, preload to 1000-1800rpms and dump the brake and mash the gas. Hold on tight, short shift into second and then let third do its thing

Then later that night before the finals of the trophy class, the starter comes over to share a few laughs. They were laughing at Hooley saying he spends $300 of rubber on each pass

He's not kidding on the burnouts. On one of his passes I'm hearing the announcer on the radio say after the smoke clears you will see a black mercedes.

Hooley, you car is sick. You are an inspiration to us all!
I went to the track yesterday afternoon and into the early evening and I have a lot to learn. My reaction times were not good but alteast I didn't have any that were embarrassing like I have done before.
I think you need to start setting some goals as far as the drag racing goes because it would be amazing to see you run even faster! I believe I speak for all of us when I say I want to see 10s!!!
