Kleeman burning rubber and a mini drag (PICS)
Here are some pictures of the Kleeman burning some rubber at the meet up.
Also the last few pictures are at the start of a race between the E55, Kleeman, and C32. I'm not sure who won though. I think they jockeyed back and forth and had to slow down too soon. We all left right after that race.
There are also pics of the SLK32 and C32.

First, let me state to my and the camera man's defense, that I had just picked up this new digital camera (SONY DSC-707) that same morning and I've never used it before, so my apologies for the lack of Hollywood Production.
The drag consisted of me (E55, 349hp), Terry (Kleemann CLK43K, 430hp) and Charlie (C32, 350hp). You can't see the C32 from the launch, but you see it as the cars fade in the distance. It was such a close race. No car was THAT much faster than the other in the short (less than 1/4 mile) sprint. The C32 actually lagged behind until its SC kicked in at about 3,200rpm, when it finally launched past the two other cars about a half car length. Damn, because I was barely winning too
Funny enough, 3/4 of the way to the end of the stretch, I looked to my left, saw that I was a little ahead of the CLK and smiled (I couldn't even see the C32). All of a sudden, the C32 whipped ahead out of nowhere! The Kleemann SC kit is very impressive- easily keeps up with the E55 and amazing rear wheel power you can spin all day! The E55 had the most torque and the C32 was the lightest. I'd be very interested to see these cars at open throttle in high gears, over 100MPH. We would have got to that speed if not for those darn poles and fence in the way
