Well so far I would have to say the E55 and 63 are pretty even today. Both running 13's.
I would be grinning ear to ear if I was an E63 guy today.
If we had stock 55's running 12's and 63's running 13's, you could say game over on this whole debate......but the mystery continues.

Think Nevada is the license plate....bet that's Dragon from Vegas!! Course I am always wrong so who knows.
I told Lauren to stop giving me updates as Dogshine was doing great, then Dogshine needed to make some calls so I think we are done with updates until someone gets home or to hotel and recaps.
Sounded like a blast.

Update:
Dragon and the 911tt are tied for best et 12.4
I spoke with Loren and he said the track was horrible this morning. The officials actually shut them down because of rain. They just took a long lunch break and should start runs in 45 min. Weather is breaking and warming up a tad.
Stay Tuned.

Okay so Loren just shot me a txt.
They are just getting rockin with 2nd half.
Quickest of the day is Dragon at 12.4 and the 911 at 12.4, while Loren was right on his tail at 12.5.
E63 quickest of the day is still the 13.4 at 109.
Loren is just gonna give me any special numbers or runs that come through....no more play by play on my end today.

Out Of Control!!
Looks like we are going to get the true test here in Maryland on monday. 
Only a 20% chance of rain and a high of 86 (kinda high, i know). We will have E55's, CLS55's, E63, M5, M6, RS6, Ford GT, 996TT's, supra's, and even an 8 second el camino plus more. I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it looks like mb's recall of the e55 has worked perfectly...the e63 is slightly faster than a stock e55 just as mb said it was.

Everything seems slow
Why do all the numbers for stock 55's and BMW M's look so off? A stock M5 , M6, and E55 should all be running mid 12's at about 116. These consistant mid 13's at 107 look way off. Is it weather, drivers, track?

From everything we are hearing, the weather and track are the biggest problem. The M5 almost went into the wall. Track officials shut it down due to rain.

Yeah, those numbers posted are ridiculous. Hopefully our weather will be better on Monday. At least good barometer and humidity, if we can't keep it cool.
There's always more drag day opportunities all through the fall in our region, with temps in the 55-65 deg range

Today was a great day,but the rtack conditions werent the best.Seems all of the cars were .4-.6 off on their E.T.'s.
My best was,
Stock e55 on Contis
13.03@109.98 60ft's, and 1/8th mile numbers were terrible.Thats were everyone lost out today,the second half of the track was good,first half just wasnt there today.Tracl also goes up hill,with a 6 foot difference in elevations from start too finish!

Loren's last message to me was that Dragon (K2 E55)pulled quickest ET today at 12.01/119.
I think E63 quickest was still the 13.4 but we'll see what the guys say as they filter back onto the forum.
Great job to all.....can't believe I missed it.

Best E63 that I remember was a 13.36 around 109-110,he might have gone a .1 faster but I didnt see it.
The 63 sounds great too.
