Monster Day @ the Track - New Kleemann K2 Record
Hey Gang,
According to Cory this afternoon my numbers today are a new record for a complete Kleemann K2 car w/LSD (Sorry Derek).
I have to say once you go with DR's, your car takes off like a plane
Most of my 0-60 were in the 1.64-1.68 range. As others posted earlier, the weather was way to cold (41/42) with wind blowing 20-30 mph over the track. I am sure I would of been in the 11.5 range or lower with no wind and temps closer to high 50's low 60's. Will have to wait until Spring and hang up my DR's for the winter.
Thanks Luke for all your help in finding a 17" rim for me that weighs only 20 pounds!
Thanks again for the great turnout considering we had snow flakes falling from the sky the night before and on the way to the track.
I broke my old high trap speed today for the 1/4 mile. My new high trap speed today was 123.29 mph.
Per Cory I just beat Derek when his car has the K2 w/LSD set-up:
This was the run
60' 1.646
330 4.858
1/8 7.476
mph 95.39
1000 9.740
1/4 11.634
mph 120.39

Nice job Spero. Interesting to see how big a difference the DRs made. Thanks again for organizing the event. I had a blast. Nice seeing everyone as always!
My car's best run (with another, more experienced S4 owner driving) was 13.9 due to horrible launches and me running with my heavy *** 19s. His car which is setup almost exactly like mine but with stock wheels was running mid 13s all day. Also, my clutch got a little extra workout it couldn't handle - its going to need to be replaced soon.
Take Care everyone, enjoy the rest of the weekend

Congradulations Spero! I wish I could have been there. I’ll definitely make the next event. Perhaps by then I’ll have the RennTech Airbox and drag radials. I just emailed Luke…
