We usually meet there between 8 and 8:30 and we park by the concession booth on the far end of the stands. They only take cash for admissions so bring $20 to race. If you have guests with you I think it's $10 per person. Concessions aren't too ridiculous and they only take cash there as well

And bring a jacket, it's going to be cold out.

anyone with a c63 running DRs?

JumpinJim

Not that I know of. You don't really need them. We're just going to goof off. No one is going to be setting any records in TX heat unfortunately. I only have them on as they're off my old tuned CLS and the SL happens to share the same wheel specs so why not. I may be the only non C unless the E55 shows up, and the only stock car there.

I probably wont make it out, but i told some other amg friends.

JumpinJim

I was talking to fly2nite and he had a good idea. He thought maybe we could all wear duckbills so we could recognize each other easier.

Speedo and Steelers mask that's as far as I will go...that and a C63 thrashing, all she's got as long as she'll lay it down.

Found out we have friends coming into town for their last weekend in Texas before they move. take some videos! I will be at the next one with hopefully cooler weather as well.

JumpinJim

Yeah, his duckbill idea was kind of stupid. I'm not sure where I would have gotten one. I did find this though. What do you think?

JRSJR65

Sweet wear that! I will wear a Steelers hat LOL!

I posted this to other AMG forums here see if any more may come out and join us.

JumpinJim

Excellent. Your Steelers hat, fly2nite's duckbill, and my propeller potty training hat with fly2nite's burning C63 after his engine explodes in the background will make for an interesting photo op.

fly2nite

Considering your original idea was coming as a Furry, I thought the duckbill compromise was doing everyone a solid, but you're right, I'd much prefer watching you take flight at the end of a 1/4 mile.

be sure to post some times on here...

hopefully when the weather gets cooler we can get another group like this to go...

i know a local forum dfwac goes every now and then...

fly2nite

Picked up a GoPro at lunch to capture some of the action. I had the previous version and the audio SUCKED so hopefully that's fixed with this one.

I have a feeling NOBODY is going to own up to times tonight. DA at 10pm yesterday was over 2700. We're going to see if we can cook an egg on JJ's dashboard.

JumpinJim

Yah. For those who have never been or are newer please don't go on dragtimes and look at all the fast timeslips done on the east coast in freezing temperatures and -3000 DAs. You're not going to be running anywhere near those in this heat so don't set yourself up for disappointment. All the cars will be affected by the heat so compare against what you see today, not at MIR in the middle of December.

JumpinJim

So far I see me here, and um...me

I ran an 11.2 while I was waiting, but a stiff breeze caught my time slip and blew it into the adjacent corn field so you'll just have to take my word for it. Unfortunately I also used up all my gas so I won't be able to do it again once everyone gets here.

silvertxE55

Bwhahaha that's great! Do post times though!

roadtalontsi

what is in this sl63 lol. vids or didnt happen

JumpinJim

Fly2nite has the gopro but he hasn't shown up yet.

JumpinJim

Oops double post...

JumpinJim

Best I've done in the SL is 11.750@119.04. My '60 is a paltry 1.9 even with the DRs. However its only my 2nd time running DRs on any car so I'm sure its user error. SL is stock non pp with 1300 miles.

I also weighed it on the track scale and with 1/4 tank of gas it weighs 4045 lbs.

JumpinJim

Finished best of night at 11.732 still at 119 1.854 60'. 2650 DA, 88 degrees.

silvertxE55

Nice!! Def more left in the launch though. Time before I got a 1.8 on my street tires.

JumpinJim

Here's my 2 best. I'm in the left lane.

silvertxE55

Can't wait to see it with a tune! How did the c63's do?
