Went to the Track tonight
Took my new baby to the 1/8th mile tonight. No 1/4 in little ol Savannah.
I had a lot of problems withmy launch and 60 ft. Time. Best of the night was 2.06 60 ft. I tried all kinds of lauches. Got in the box once, not a good idea. Left some water in the treads and I was spinning most of the way down the track with traction control on.
Anyways best time was 8.20
Best MPH was 88.8
Best run 8.25 @ 88.8.
Not great, not bad, about what I expected. Bone Stock....
Here come the mods :v

We are close enough together to try our stock cars out at the same raceway. I am headed to Deals Gap this weekend instead of Biketoberfest [Damn Wilma]. Going to give the Tail of the Dragon a try, 11miles with 318 curves on my new 06 Screaming Eagle V Rod. 
We can set up a time sometime in the next week. My time slip is similiar to your's but I ran a 12.15, 12.16 and 12.17
back in February and March.

There is a clasic car show with a track event at Roebling on Nov 3-4. I would be glad to attend, especially if any other E55's want to come. I live about 20 miles from the track.
