When I looked at the the first picture, I thought you were at the drag strip. A closer look and I see a building.
I bet those marks are still there?
Ex-employer maybe?
Later,
Tim

It's not my work, just a place I happened to be at 2 years ago. I'll show you the marks when you come down for your checkup 
Maybe we can make some new ones?

I'll update tomorrow on my current times with K&N air filters and insulating bottom of airbox and air inlet pipes, I hope for 13.1s, if I can convince my tires to hook up

But I suck at 1/4 mile drags.
I'm just starting to have fun and it's over.
My first real race will be in June in Battlemountian, Neveda.
The Pony Express Open Road Race. It's 84.55 miles long at 130mph!
We see speeds of 165mph (I'll need to have it de-limited).
Talk about fun, no cops, and an open road for as far as you can see.
The only other cars you see, are cars that died durning the race and are off to the side. There's nothing more fun that passing the chase airplanes!

When you sign up just tell them your in the Mercedes Benz club.
We can call the club anything you like.
The Corvette Looking Glass Club out of Colorado usually win's that award.
I'm planning on doing all three events.

I want a Kleemann Suspension and Brake kit!
Kleemann, the brake upgrade looks great. I love the new black calipers over the other color. Are the springs also available in black instead of the other color? Thanks.
