Our day at the dragstrip
Our local car club had a get together at the dragstrip last Sunday. We had the following cars show up:
Car... Owner
Porsche 996 Twin Turbo GT700, 750hp / 750 lb/ft... Joe
Mercedes SL600 RENNTech, 675hp / 910 lb/ft... Arnold
Mercedes SL65 RENNTech, 725hp / 970 lb/ft... Lou
Toyota Supra Turbo, 900hp / 900 lb/ft... Guilly
Dodge Viper Twin Turbo, 1200+hp / 1200+ lb/ft... Vince
Chevy Corvette Twin Turbo, 700hp / 700 lb/ft... Glen
Subaru WRX/STI Dynocomp , 630hp / 600lb/ft... Richard
Mercedes SL55 AMG, 500hp / 600lb/ft... Dave
BMW 540i Dinan, 400hp / 400lb/ft... John
Mercedes E55 AMG, 480hp / 500lb/ft... John
We were also joined by Ryan Woon of Wide Open Throttle MotorSports who broke the records of ".world's fastest and quickest, street, 6spd Toyota Supra " with a mind boggling 8.62 ET and a 171mph trapspeed!
We were also joined by the crew from Evolution Motorsports . They brought their supercharged Porsche 997, as well as, their monster GT800 car. We had a chance to watch the GT800 break the record and become "the world's fastest 996 Turbo" with a blistering 10.37@139mph.
We plan on getting together again very soon. I'll keep you all posted. If you are in the Phoenix area and are interested in participating, let me know.
I have included some pictures of the day, as well as, a video of some of the runs.

Excellent vids! 
Haven't kept track of the stats (Treynor, Schiznick, et al), but a 1.5 60-ft for an SL65 with or without mods is the lowest I've seen. What kind of rubber was Lou running? Your 1.7 wasn't shabby at all, either - great run!
The 12.2/116 was impressive on the bone stock E55 - stock rubber, too? Others note: Speedworld is at 3100' elevation.

I WISH the PS2's were stock on the E55 -LOL - but they're close enough to stock not to qualify as a completely unfair advantage over the stock Conti's at the strip.
