Thanks Would of been a 11.8 or high 11.7 run with the 60' I had and the trap speeds I was running, but my front right tire went flat during the run and had only 13 psi. Next time I will get into the 11.7 range

I will try and schedule another track day after the summer unless everyone would like to go back up in a few months.

I knew I had a bent rim and a good flat spot on my front right wheel. The rims & tire once hot expanded and could not keep the air in. Once the car cooled and filled the tire it is keeping pressure. Going to get the im fixed next weekend since a new one from the dealer is $1900. Those OEM 19" rims are not cheap

Drove up and had both my right rims fixed like new for only $350 Hell of alot better then spending $4K on two new rims. These guys are the best and people send rims to them from all over the US.

The name of the shop is:

Ye Olde Wheel Shop
6363 Washington Blvd.
Elkridge, MD 21227
800.526.8260

They take appointments on Sat.

I guess they've changed since I've been there. 2 years ago I took a set of 18's there and they charged me $100/rim and did a poor job and made me wait over a week. I guess I'll try them again, given your experience. I think its about time we had another meet, what does everyone else think?

Glad the wheel came out looking great!
Your car was fast on the track!!! Was 11.9 your fastest time?


I'm going to the M-Class Road Rally this friday at 1pm. It's at FedEx field. Anyone want to meet and go in a group? If you didn't register online you can do so at the door. These events are lots of fun.

Yes it was. My last run would of been in the 11.7s with the 60' time I had if it was not for having a flat tire during my run. Looking forward to getting together again in the near future
