I was there last night. Very nice conditions, I finally broke into the 13's lol. An E63 got a 12.2, I was very impressed.
I'd go today but I'm sure its going to be very crowded, plus I have plans.
Today looks great, have fun everyone.

Already back.
There was NOBODY there. No staging lanes at all. Just hot-lap after hot-lap. I got there after 11 and ran ten runs before the closed the staging lanes for time trials at 12:15.
Didn't get into the 11's. I kept tripping the ESP on each run and only managed a best 60' time of 1.85, with lots of 1.9's.
Still, I ran a best of 12.086 @ 117.11 on a 1.887 60' time. I also had a 12.099 and seven 12.1's. My worst run was a 12.291 @ 116.92 when I completely killed the launch with a 2.045 60' time, and the car practically stopped while the ESP intervened.
I literally hot-lapped the first 5 runs stopping only to reduce my tire pressure before my first run and to throw some gas in it after run 4 because it was on reserve fuel. I went straight from tech inspection to the staging lanes, left the car running while I lowered my tire pressure, and made run after run.
First run was a 12.099 @ 117.13, followed by: 12.159 @ 117.15; 12.291 @ 116.92; 12.089 @ 116.77 and 12.138 @ 116.64. She was consistent.
My last 4 runs were head to head against a Dinan S3 M5 driven by an M5Board member who was substituting for the owner. For those that don't know, that is the top of the line performance enhanced E39 M5, supercharged. It is a beast. The driver of the M5 was much better at the tree and had much better reaction times. My 60' times were a bit better than his. Here is the breakdown of the races, all hot-laps with only a few minutes between runs:
S3 .................................................. ............... Me
12.444 @ 116.73, 2.146 ................................. 12.133 @ 116.63, 1.905 (S3 won by .0757)
13.008 @ 113.92, 2.083(missed 2nd) ..................12.145 @ 116.98, 1.934 (I won by .4230)
12.375 @ 115.40, 1.959 .................................. 12.086 @ 117.11, 1.887 (S3 won by .1472)
13.171 @ 108.01, 2.146 (let up) .......................12.166 @ 116.99, 1.929 (I won by 1.20)
The right lane 1/8 speed measurement wasn't working, so there was no way to judge how much speed the S3 picked up after the 1/8, but my feeling was that it really had some top end pull. I could feel myself reeling it in for the first 1/8 at a pretty decent clip, but once he hit 3rd, you could see that the cars were fairly even. That car is a beast.

Your car is a monster to get consecutive 12.0-12.1's... (plus you're a damn good driver)
And that E39 M5 trapping at 116...wow, quite impressive.
I wish I went, I had no idea you could just make run after run like that. I would have thought E-town would be packed with this kind of weather and the big event going down. Cool.

How on earth could you have lost this race?
Your 60ft smashes the S3 your ET is lower and trap nearly equal?
sounds like you had a GREAT TIME !!

It wasn't until my last run that I decided to actually try to cut a good light. I red-lighted with a -0.004. Can't get much closer than that.

He cut a .047 light to my .433. I essentially gave him 4/10ths at the tree. Even with my better 60' time, he still had 2/10's in hand at the start.

No need for cutting good lights,unless its bracket racing of course.Focus on applying the best pedal pressure for the brake and throttle before you get into cutting lights.60ft times are more inportant than cutting lights.I'll sit there well after the green is up sometimes just because I dont feel ready,Ive even left on the first amber because it felt like the time to go.

I see though, if you are not racing the car across from you, then leave when the car feels like it.
did you read an E63 went 12.2????? Still no response as to who the heck it was and what the trp speed was. This is as fast as I have heard a 63 moving through the 1/4 12.2@XXXXXXXX?

Well, If your racing the car which I thought he was based on the time coparison and establishing a "winner" I think the light would be #1 importante...

Ok, I spoke with the guy Fri night. It's definitely a 63, its debadged and has an AMG hood, trunk, and wheel emblems, pretty cool. Tinted windows too. The guy was also there last friday, when SleeperX and ProjectC55 was there.
I spoke to the guy before we were all racing and he said he gets consecutive 12.3's...then when we were lined up and I was in the staging lanes I saw him run and was shocked by his time. I didn't get a chance to talk to him afterwards. I didn't ask him what he did to his car, I think its stock but not sure.
Maybe next time I'm there I can speak to him and get him to post. Also, ProjectC55, if you're reading this thread he's the guy who you raced that one time. Maybe you have some info or can contact him?
If I wasn't in my car and if I wasn't so focused on myself (this was my 3rd run ever, still pretty intense lol) then I would have paid more attention or even recorded it, or at least seen the time slip and taken a pic with my camera phone...hopefully he shows up next Fri.

He is the champ, tell him to come get his crown. Thanks Mr. Stallion for posting up the info and giving us something.
I need a trap speed,

Frank?
Did you guys see this 63 pump out 12.2-12.3's?

His car is definitely an E63, I heard it start up. 2 weeks ago he had all the 63 badging, he just recently debadged it...
But maybe I should keep my mouth shut as he was pretty quiet, maybe he doesn't like the publicity lol.
He was a very chill dude though and he def repped the 63. That engine gained my respect
