First Time on the Track
Finally got my cls out on the track. It was my first time on the track. It was a rough start, but I got better as the day progressed. My best time was 11.95 @120.80, 60'=1.96. Not great, but I was happy with it for my first time. My best best trap was 121.5. I was having trouble getting it to hook, more because of my inexperience. I have K4/LSD and putting about 625hp at the crank - (Cory dyno it over at Kleemann). I was on stock 19 inch rims with stock tires with about 10k on them. The car was set on S mode with Sport II setting and ESP on. I also had to much fuel in the tank (over half a tank). I think with some practice on the launch, less fuel in the tank and some drags on, I can get to 11.5. It's not as easy as it looks. It takes some practice. If you haven't done it; I recommend it. Special thanks to blackbenzz for setting up the track day and to DJe55 for some great advise and super impressive runs.
It was a great experiece and I learned alot today. I am looking forward to future runs, and track days with Mbworld.org members.
Here is a video clip of my run:

Milton, glad you had fun and it was nice to see such a beautiful car running down the track. Your times consistantly improved the more you ran and I think your car is easily in the mid 11's. It was great meeting you and your brother in-law and I hope you can make it the next time we have one of these track days again. Only next time, make sure you have a different set of tires on the rear. BTW I thought your exhaust sounded great!
