Just kidding. Though I am selling the wheels that made the magic happen:

Easy 11s, Schiznick. My last trip out, on stock Contis, I ran a 12.16 with a 1.85 60' (poor track prep/conditions).

Nice wheels, Derek. I have a set of CCWs drags on another car and they are top notch! Good luck with the sale.

Mannn, I was hoping for a DerekFSU museum in FL with the drag tires in a glass case etc.....

I could do the audio tour....."as you walk over to the right, you can see the nitrous unit that was custom made for that historic day, on your left, photos of the 1500mile drive Derek took in pursuit of the perfect track to make history" It WRITES ITSELF!!!!

Jak, you are the man. I will never forget you emailing me updates of the tracks during our tour of the NE. Thanks.

Dragon, I don't know. All I can tell you is the CCW was the ONLY company who said they could make 16's to fit the E55. They clear the calipers by 1/4 inch and they rock.

You NEED them with your car's potential. Call CCW and order them. I've got two of the tires, still with labels and banded together, that I'm going to sell as well.
