C63 on PINKS.....

Well, we had a GREAT weekend out at the PINKS ALL OUT event this weekend @ PBIR. Long HOT sunny weekend, but had a blast. Car ran great, and as always was the talk of the crowd, and Rich. Attached is the video of the 4th round. We went 4 rounds without getting beat by anyone in our class. They ended up running 10.6 cars for the final 16, so we were a little slow.... Maybe next time....

VERY cool!!! I've been waiting forever to see a German bomber on Pinks. Excellent stuff. More of us should represent at these events. It's not just about slack-jawed yokels with carbon-belching big blocks.

Did they say Keith's time was 11.3? What did the Stang do? 11.2?

Correct I ran 11.3, and the mustang ran 11.2. But I treed him and got to the lights first. His MPH was 119ish and I ran 123.

Bah. Stangs are built for drag racing. The C63 does all that and a bag of chips.

no more AMG
Nice job. Too bad you didn't get picked for the show. A C63 would be really unique for the final 16.

His blower and headers probably cost as much as your MHP headers alone.

Hey guys, quick question...

Who's "MarFas?" So is that Keith or benscott01? Just curious, since the top 3 C63 AMG times on DragTimes.com (Dad's C63) were run by the driver "MarFas."

http://www.dragtimes.com/Mercedes-Be...-Timeslip-1681

http://www.dragtimes.com/Mercedes-Be...ag-Racing.html

Great times guys!! Can "MarFas" drive my car @ PBIR to see if he can get a better time than I did, lol. Of course, when I ran in 12/09, I was running on nearly bald rear tires and it was my first time running my C63 (in fact, I believe it ws my 4th time running the 1/4mi. in my entire life).

SflGator,
We are not trying to confuse anyone. There are a number of guys here at my office that race and anyone of us could be driving it on any one given day. The company name is Marine Fasteners and our web site is marfas so I just use "Marfas" as a driver since it could be a slew of guys. If you remember correctly Howard (HHughes1) took it to a private track rental because I was out of town and set a new record with it back in December. The car is fast and many different drivers have proved that.
The only reason I posted the three different times is because they were on different days at different tracks with different drivers so people know the quick runs were NOT a FLUKE.
I love to drive the car but its my DD so I am in it every day. Its fun to watch it race and just relax and enjoy the moment. I love watching the crowds response every time it runs. Makes me laugh.

I am sure that Ben or myself would be glad to drive your car anytime we are at the same track. Might make a difference and might not. Enjoy and be safe!!
