You need a stock 55 to join you!


Good luck , we are all counting on you.

enzom

What time are you heading down? I will see how the weather pans out and if I can get out of the office at a reasonable time.

juicee63

Oh great , the worlds fastest stock E55!!!

05VENOM

I'm off tomorrow so will get there aroung 5:30..give her some cool down time..

SleeperX

Good luck tomorrow guys. It should be really nice. In the 60s!!!

enzom

Not quite, but she's been pretty quick.

I checked 5 forecasts this morning (all the local channels). They all said rain, so I left the E55 at home. If by some strange circumstance, the weather clears up, I will TRY to get out of the office by 6:00 to go home, swap cars, and head down. The absolute earliest that I could be there is 8:15-8:30. Not sure how late Venom plans to stay down there, so it may not be worth making the trip.

enzom

Venom - I tried sending you a PM, but your box is full. Please PM me your number so that I can try to track you down later this evening if I do head down.

Thanks.

I would definitely go but it's saying rain this afternoon&evening...

You will be just as mad if it does not rain and the temp is in the 60's.. Seems like the perfect storm to record some super quick times. Dont let a little rain scare ya! Worst thing it rains and you guys all go out for a nice dinner and some brews

oldgixxer

Its in the 70's & the humidity is 80% so the air really isnt that good.I know my 63 isn't as quick as my 55's were,and I'm a little apprehensive about finding out how much slower it is

enzom

I have read that humidity is actually good for making power, so long as it is not so humid that the ground gets moist and you lose traction. The temperature is more important - and the big display on the New York building says 68 degrees right now.

It was overcast on the day of my best run.

If both the 55 and 63 is gonna be running, PLEASE VIDEO IT! Thanks guys lol. I wish I could come too but work comes first...

enzom

OK - So it looks like rain here in NYC. But I just called the track and a woman there said the sun was out.

Now I don't know what the heck to do. About ten minutes ago, I was praying that it would just rain so that I could be put out of my misery. Now I am praying in the other direction. Go figure.

oldgixxer

Not to be a dick or anything,but actually the best air for making power is when it reaches it's dew point.All the moisture in the air has fallen to the ground.Incidently,it wouldnt exactly be the best conditions to run down a track.
Island Dragway in Hackettstown is notorious for this as it is on the grounds of a sod farm&sits very low in a valley

rflow306

Humidity is never good for making power it's just not as important as the temperature or barometric pressure.

enzom

I think we may be saying the same thing. I'm not sure, though.

OK - Was still in the office at 7:00 tonight, itching like heck to have left by 5:30. Chris called from the track to tell me that he got three runs in, but it started drizzling and he was not sure what he was doing at that point.

Had I left when I tried to, I would have been at exit 11 on the Turnpike spitting out the window in anger as the rain started to fall.

We'll have to try it again soon.

oldgixxer

Yeah,lets try&set another date up.I've been itching to get to a track
