New 1/4 mile South African records
We took 3 of our cars to the dragstrip on Sunday. 2 x C63's and a CLS55.
To give you some background info, here in South Africa we dont have a proper dragstrip at the coast.
So this event is held at an unused airstrip and is sanctioned by our Mototsport Governing Body (MSA).
No track prep, etc. We also dont get 60 ft times, so we use V-Box to measure this.
Best 60ft for the C63's was a 1.8sec (V-Box)
These are the runs for the day :
