People are always watching
Thought I could sneak out to play a couple weeks ago but I guess people are always watching. Whoever took the vid, tks...
Car was running nice and consistent these days so thought I would bracket race...was short shifting about 5,800 and still running low 10.2's with very little ice in the tank and moderate temps. I let off a bit at the very end but still broke out.
During the day I would have likely been running low 10.1's but the non slick cars kept tearing up the rubber being laid with the street tyres.

It was quite funny. There was a car show beside my trailer and at one point I had 15 people waiting for me when I came back from that run...I guess having the only unmuffled V8 at an import show got some attention...

that's the best part about it.....show the car and then decide " i think i'll run it " and slap on the drag setup and run low 10s . i know my car doesn't have the built motor....YET....but i love the people that say i would rather have your Mercedes than any of the cars in the group ( M3s , GTRs , 335s , CTS-Vs )....then they see how it runs and the jaws drop

Might run one more time somewhere before meeting up with Jimmy in Chicago for the 1/2 mile runs in June.

That meeting with Jim is gonna be epic. There better be a ton of go pros documenting the whole thing. Nice run!

Nice runs! I was supposed to be there with Rage-Tek, but decided not to go. Now I wish I would have gone. Would have been a pleasure to see your car run and the faces on the crowd.
