^^ Yeah, that sucks. Typically they let you ran one or two more times. I think you have no restrictions if you rent the track with a large group of people and make it a private event.

There is no way in hell I would have to install a roll cage in my C63 which is my daily driver. Best of luck to you!

BTW, that first photo rocks. Shows the slight headwind at the track and a large dude on a scooter. 2 for 1 right there!

Great time, super! Sorry that you got kicked out. This is what track rentals are for.

Thanks. Sadly Jason (Track Director who gave me the boot) informed me that they are just as strict during rentals. Can't win.

Thanks.

No doubt I would have done better. This run would have been stellar if I didn't hit the rev limiter on the last shift. Such a good 60' and 1/8th-mile ET/Trap gone to waste.

BTW, when I say "I" I mean the silly computer who wasn't quite ready for WOT blasts yet. I left it in S1 the whole time.

Were you running race gas also? I'm sure your ECU didn't even get a chance to adapt to that as well if you were.

Probably closer to 122-123 but I'll never know.

My only weight reduction is wheels, rotors, CF hood and removal of the spare tire & jack.

My 245/40-18 up front didn't help me nor did my H&R lowering springs. I'm also 210 lbs.

Yes. Good info on 'em here -> https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...-2010-c63.html

05R is more aggressive but they don't make one in a good everyday size.
