Who wants to see the fastest E55 run? MD/DC/VA
I just got off the phone with Malcolm and invited him to come out friday night to Capitol Raceway in MD. He said he will be out of town but would be happy to go next friday. Would anyone be interested in going with us? I will also be setting up a track rental at Capitol soon and Malcolm will be there as well.

Yes, I will definitly get video of his runs.

I have only made 2 passes with my CLK55 with street tires on the car and had horrible traction issues. The best time I got was with half throttle til after the 60' and then mashing the gas. The back end still came out but once it gripped it took off. Got a 60' of 2.15 (horrible I know) and ended up with a 12.4 @ 118. The track wasnt well prepped either because it was at a test and tune. If I can get my 60' down to 1.8 or so I should be in the 11's. I bought Toyo RA1's but have yet to track it. I will try the BFG's next because I hear they are stickier.

Thanks guys. Went to test and tune again last night but it was alittle too warm. I still beat my time with a 12.1 The quest for 11's continues... (Bigger FMIC, eisenmann race exhaust on the way and working on smaller pulley to increase boost)
