Drag raced today Orlanod Speedworld

Only one run.... It was PACKED....

I did not even heat up the tires that much, and went 12.2 @ 109mph w/1.77 60ft. BFG's

Wish I knew you were running there dude, I would have been there in a snap. Nice ET, but 109 seems kinda slow...
The beast definitely runs strong in the cooler air .

We should do a rental there sometime, I'm in!

Nice time but low trap. Looks like you may need some cooling mods with the big pulley.

I think so.....

Im working on it.
Too many projects at once.

I did a shake down run with my 2007 GT500 w/Kenne Bell also.

Missed 4th, and ran 11.90 @ 90mph. Hows that for low trap speed

I'm up for a rental too. I keep meaning to make it out but with a 50 mile drive I hate to do it for a few runs.

I'll bring the wagon with BFG drag radials!

They don't like renting the track all that much on Sunday which is the best day for me, but maybe during the week, like a THURSDAY.
I will call them and see what they have open a few weeks out.
Thanks,
Jason

A Thursday pretty soon would work great for me. That's a good day.

Great fun to be had

Trap seems pretty low, I can only guess the blower is getting too hot on the top end.... ???

Granted i don't have a E55, but i'm right in avalon park 5 miles away from Speedworld.

I'm down to headout whenever.

On the quest for a 13.5 1/4

I've been out there in the past, and usually i'm the only benz out there.

Same thing when you went?

Perfect traction.
BFG Drag Radial.

Might just be me, but felt stronger out of the hole, and maybe not as strong top end... I think

Does anybody know if they relax their rules when it is a rental. I'd bring my E55 wagon, but I'd love to bring my 08 Corvette too. The problem is that it is a convertible and they won't let a convertible that quick run on Wed/Fri.

I'm really curious to see which car is quicker. The Corvette has 436HP, but is significantly lighter.

Rental they are really laid back.
My fathers Convertible runs 12's, and never any issues.
I will shoot for a thursday track rental.
It will run about $212. each car you bring.

I just need to get my throttlebody back from Kenne Bell for the GT500 and I will schedule it.

Cool. Anybody in the Lake Mary area want to drive one of my cars to and from the track? Sadly, I have no way to get them both there

I'll have to work on that.

A few weeks from now would be best for me since Ill have my mods on by then but Ill come any rental day. My intake should be here this week, then headers, exhaust and ecu should be here in 2 weeks I think.

It's $1065 for the rental, and you get up to 5 cars, then $213 each additional car.

Hard to tell from your pic but is there a sticker on the little windows behind the backseat windows? An MOS tuning one by any chance?
