I don't think we'll see a 9-second pass at Fontana just because I know that track. Whatever temperature they say it will be, you usually have to add 5 to 10 degrees on top of that. And aside from temperature, that track has other problems
Mo, are you going to run your car at the event or just video document?

Jim - My buddy who is coming with his Turbo S has a Go Pro HERO with all the mounts and will for sure be able to get your runs, in car footage etc and then edit it all together. He's really good with that kind of stuff and makes some pretty good videos. Check out his Mojave mile run here:

Good luck Jim!!
If anyone can dance into the low 10's or even the 9's it will be you.

You can use your S/C and I'll use my nitrous.

Be safe and have fun!!

No I won't be running my car.... it is getting a few things done right now and I doubt it'll be done in time.

This will be one heck of an event..... the debut of the world's most powerfull CLK63 BS and the debut of rarfinancial's top-secret tune on the CLS63

I will bring my wife to the track. I hope the roar and burning rubber will convince her to modify my C63. She is my banker and I am the lender. I hope to meet new friends there.

If it was two weeks later I would. It would have been a perfect opportunity to learn how to launch the car with my fellow AMGers. Logistically, with my father-in-law flying in overseas, cruise, etc...it is actually easier for me to come back to SoCal. I will be coming back down two weeks later to have my K2 installed @ ACGSD.

Good luck tomorrow guys!

IF you can set record in Fontana, you can SMASH records elsewhere!

I'll be on my way to a friend's place to spend the night so we can head to Chuckwalla raceway the following day for some track fun. I'll try to swing by and say hello and see how everyone is doing if I have time.

Once again...Best of luck! Can't wait to hear how your beast does!

Gosh, I have a super busy day at work tomorrow, but I'm so tempted to come out and at least witness some runs, let alone run my own car.

Decisions, decisions!
