I'm workin on the videos. I am terrible with a camera. Never let me do it again. I got some good stuff though. I think most of us will admit traction was an issue. All I could muster up was a 13.1 at 109mph. Jturkle's C32 just kept getting faster as the day went on. that 11.3 in the E55 was unreal. The D/A was very high 2700ft. All these cars are faster then the numbers they put down today.
I think I got a video of each of you that were there. Even the M5 in reverse
I will get them up on you tube soon. I got a big file rendering now of all the videos bunched together. I will post it soon to show you what I'm working on. I got alot of editing to do to. We should do a night race after the holidays when it real cold out.

I wish I could have raced the CLK55 with the HPS supercharger again. I just could not get traction,I was in 5th gear at the trap for a nice 14.1 at 103mph from all the wheel spin. What I did notice is my car is redline in 3rd at the trap... and thats a good place to be IMO for my car. I might need to stop all performance mods and worry about traction. I was able to hold off the old E55 with the HPS. Jumpin over to the TnT lane was fun. I was able to destroy an STR-4 neon from "Team Swat" yo! Just once I want to hook up and see what it can do.

does your C55 have a mechanical LSD from the factory? if not, maybe the Quaife? Bigger tires, maybe slicks? what do you have in mind to resolve the traction problem?

To solve the problem I was just going to add more HP. But now that doesnt seem to be a good idea....yet. really LSD and slicks coming soon...
Also I got a guick version of the us racing with some good ol' rock n roll. Its not the final video but ust something i chopped together on the quick.
If I dont post it tonight its because I'm drinking. Its being up loaded to You Tube right now. so if it does not post on the forum tonight just search You Tube under my name "hooleyboy" its 9mins long! and i'm very bad with a camera. BTW the Music is not set in stone just slapped something on there quick. I will take suggestions on music (if any). Also I got individual videos to i will post.

16" with 255/50-16" Hoosiers. My InMotion tune has worked well for me. I'm looking for another set of 16" rims to buy a cheaper set of DR's for the trophy nites. These hoosiers are $190 each and only last me a few months. They are the best though.

hmm....Nittos or Hoosiers? I would imagine that Hoosiers would be better for the track but i could use Nittos daily, no?

Nice meeting all of you guys yesterday...wish I could've stayed longer. Best run was only 12.2 @ 114 with a 2.x 60' time... just couldn't ever get it to hook. Mikey's 11.38 run was awesome and phenomenal considering the DA. Do the conversion and it's easily sub 11.
Anytime people want to run out at Speedworld, give me a ring as its only a 20 minute drive for me.

I would say any of the normal drag radials that are street legal would work out fine. Mine are DOT approved, but are stamped right on the side not for highway use. So tecnically I could get a ticket for having them on. Not sure if the Mickey's have the same stamp. Mikey could chime in since he has those. I'll be checking craigslist for some used ones. The mustang guys use 16" all the time.
