Thread is up in the W212/AMG forum. Assuming the weather holds, I'm planning on being there with the wagon!

Slips are on post #57....

"Only got three runs yesterday. I did 2 runs (no slip on the first run but my buddy told me numbers - basically the same). I let my friend do the 3rd run / he did the 118+ trap. Big crash and lots of racers so we packed it in before the end.

All driver error I'm afraid - disappointed with my results

Tried fiddling too much and bogged both launches...crazy low trap for both my runs.

I'm car 36/63...."

Sorry about that. My phone is total ****. That's still damn fine to be mid 12s. Everyone's working on their 60 foots. I think ours gets out of the hole pretty good but fades a bit at the top of 3rd.

My 60' was terrible! 2.2 and my buddy was 2.5! He still managed a 118+ trap. I've got to play with the settings - I know 11s and 120+ trap is totally doable....just got to find the right combination to get 4960 lbs moving!
