55fanatic- Next time we should do the event somewhere in middle of the east coast. Like DC.

Well, major issue has arisen (my own fault)... Was just finishing up an oil change on my white 91 (car i wanted to take as the black one needs to have the wheels balenced again..) when I discovered that one of my containers of M1 was empty..
*&^&^&%^%#$...I really do hate when my brain is stuck on stupid..
Next year I hope to have my car SC'd anyway
Y'all have fun!

First, thanks to Paul and his gang at the GA DSM Club for making the event happen and making us all feel welcome, as usual.
It was a great time and we had a nice turnout:
G55K
W210 E55 Kleemann (490hp at the wheels)
C55
W211
W211 on drag radials
W211 Wagon
SLK55
W208 CLK55
500E - on slicks!
My buddy also came and brought his 540i 6 spd.
Track conditions were not favorable and it seemed everyone ran .2 to .3 seconds off the pace at the beginning....then times went sharply down hill (I stopped when I went from a 13.6 to a 13.998) due to terrible traction on the start line.
In fact, traction was such an issue, I'm not sure Ted Baldwin ever got a clean pass in his MONSTER Kleemann W210 E55....once or twice that beast still wasn't hooking after the 1/8 mile!
Still, we got to meet some new folks and had a great time. Pics to follow soon
