Fun track day!

Had a good time meeting the guys in the Md.,DC,VA. area for a beautiful day at the track. A few pics are down below in the events section. It was my first time at the track and my first run was an 11.7@123. I got in a few runs after that and all were in the 11's except the one time I blew the launch. The car is a blast to drive. It makes my 355 Spider that it replaced seem like a Honda although I did love its looks and drag racing was not its thing! Some of the E55's were moving as well. Now that I have been bitten by the bug I might have to do the ECU/TCU!

Glad to see you take it to the track! What kind of 60' time were you able to get?

As you found out traction, not power is the limiting factor!

11.7 is a good run, my best run has been 11.63....

You guys should be out at the road course in VA. That would be a bit more fun.
