Wow!!! What a fascinating east coast tour with so much food, love especially from NYC crew and the MA crew These guys can't stop feeding me!!! 
Anyways, good luck to those who's participating tomorrow. Good luck, and hopefully we will see new individual records and nationwide records.

Those are some great pics. Ahmad, where the he!! did you peg 160? I know that wasn't at the track. Did any of you guys get any of my 11.4 runs on vid? My dad did some filming for me but the only runs he has that are visible are the two runs that my clutch failed. It's funny, at 70 he can drive my Z down the track better than he can operate a camera.
Who would have thought it.

Here is the you tube of my 10.93@127 run which was the best looking (not fastest) pass of the day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Gxvq-FTgI

160 at the top of 4th isnt bad I will try and find someone with a vid of your 11.4 run
Dont know if you would be interested but there is a supra meet tomorrow night or I may just go to rockville again.

I wasnt driving. After the track we went to get something to eat on 301. Then I let 3 of my friends take turns driving my car (so I could hear what my car sounds like). One of them came back with that video! 160 at the top of 4th isnt bad

Albert, I let the car (clutch) cool down for a while after my first couple of passes. The car ran 11.55, 11.50, 11.42, and 11.44 at 126.5. Not bad in that heat. I was really impressed with my pops' run. That was the first time he had went through the gears in the car. Not bad after watching my first pass and for a 70 year old man.
I do have to admit guys, I miss my E55. After seeing all the MB's there and all the really cool guys that own them, I really do wish I had mine back. Oh well. It may be time to start looking again?
BTW my pops told me to let all you guys know how great it was watching and meeting you guys. He was really impressed with you guys.

This car vs my car would have been special..
This C55 is STOCK?
Corrected Craig would have been in the 12.3 @ 113 range which is exactly where my car is . Uncorrected our slips look very close with my car running a bit slower ET and a bit faster trap.
The worlds fastest Benzo's are really amaze. The 600 series looks as if its off to Mortons for more steak. effortless power. Looks like the 100 shot is going on the 63

renntech headers ECU & Airbox, custom y-pipe, lightweight battery and wheels, he has a combo of mods that works well together.

Despite all of that I ran consistent:11.34@122.23
11.35@121.14
11.37@121.47
Stephen I have run on the same day multiple times actually but this was the first time that we would have has the chance to "line up" Both cars have basically the same modifications and run similar times. Our best times came ironically on the same day in april at a track rental at MIR, on that day Stephen ran 11.278@121.88 and I ran 11.14@125.9

my car felt soft because of the heat, my best run came from a 1.71 60ft but my first run of the day netted my best 60ft ever a 1.58 Despite all of that I ran consistent:
11.34@122.23
11.35@121.14
11.37@121.47

11.27 vs 11.14 = .13.....weight difference is 137 pounds.....usual performance difference between two vehicles of equal hp is .1 sec per 100 lbs....very equal performance.

we need a "bracket race" for diamonds event
Uh so I am to assume no E63 made a pass? I suppose in that heat the 63 engine is doomed. Xabo did you attend?
