Killer Times At Milan Dragway

Several of us met at Milan Dragway for the final Test & Tune run of the fall season.

Sporting a new set of VRP cams, BMS' car put down the best time yet recorded for an SL55: 11.86 with a 119 MPH trap speed.

Billy Mainz' car ran the best time yet recorded for a CLK500. I'll let him announce the time since he was going to make one more run after I left the track. He was already 0.5 seconds under the previous best time recorded on Dragtimes before his final run.

JokerzWld had three strong runs and made the E55 top 20 list with his best run: 11.71 trapping at 119 MPH.

And I ran a personal best and a top 5 time in my SL55, posting a 12.06 trapping at 116.

All-in-all a pretty good day on the track!
