Congrats Juicee, you most definately deserve it.......

Now that we hold the 63 record here on the west coast, we're going to need Jangy, Shawn, and others to take a shot at the 55 record

Mathmik

congrats man.... on the real good looking out for the 63ers

chiromikey

with decent conditions (da around 1200') and ice in my reservoir, i should a shot at the non-nos record...or do i not qualify for "west coast".

You've come a long way Juice. Huge congratulations man. You're a nut!

juicee63

You definately can do it..And yes you are considered WEST coast. I would love to have you at the 3/22 Fontana event.

Yeah this has been a whirlwind and I aint done yet. I think Rob and Jim have a track event with Enzom in a few weeks that could easily put me back down the list.

From 14 to 12 in 9 months , "the biggest loser"

Chappy

Nice R/T

The East Coasters will have a chance to run during this event:

You most definately can do it and you do qualify as west-coast. However, I don't think the chances are good at Fontana because DA and temps are just too high. You'll need to do it at a Famoso private rental or Sacramento. I will rent Famoso two more times this year: November and December for optimum DA. I will keep you informed.....

very nice eta and trap

any 55's??



most of the n54 335's were around 111 to 112..

with the fastest at around 115....with 98 oct, dp's, intake, DR's and custom piggyback

very impressive.. but definately not your daily driver set up.

The best daily driver set up ran JB2HR with stock tires and rims and no other mods.. Ran 12.6 and 112. Not bad. He did have a 100 oct/91mix.

juicee63

Yeah I made the video of the 335 fastest pass..And the mostly stock 335 that ran 12.26 with the slicks has my 12.11 pass, I hope he posts it!!

sadly no Mercedes to be found, M5, M6 nothing. Here is the Wonder Bread Wagon!!

This wagon also hit 11.90's so it was faster than I thought . It was piloted by a very determined young lady!

jordanst2

I believe its quickest not fastest, but congrats on an awesome pass

Hey, Juicee.....................nice!!!! Way to make the 63 guys proud. Times like that make it difficult for me to goof on you.

Very impressive.

Daayuuummm Juicee, that was a good run

You broke my record again so quickly that I didn't even notice that I had a record. But I enjoyed it while it lasted even if it was only a week

I'm wondering what times I could've gotten if they would've let me run a couple of more times

juicee63

Couple more days and you will have your chance.

Rick seems like he is really plotting...Hmmm maybe he is not satisfied that a CLS took the crown?

Bluemax

Great Job Josh!!! That eleven is right around the corner.

juicee63

Thanks Bro!!

Yeah man this is getting really competitive now,

We are getting close

juicee63

never lose your goof bro!

Congrats on your run. I ran 3 consistant 12.twenties at Route 66 raceway in Joliet, IL in my bone stock Black Series last fall. Be careful what you wish for. You are begining to tread in a territory that will require a significant amount of money and dedication. Any NHRA sanctioned track requires cars that run an 11.00 et or faster be fitted with a roll cage and harness. Also if your trap speed is 135 or faster you must run a roll cage and harness. In addition quite a few tracks private liability insurance require roll bars for and sub 12.00 second e.t.'s or 125 mph or greater trap speed on test & tune "open to the public" events.

You will make your pass and a track official will come up to you , congratulate you and then tell you you are not welcome to run at their facility until you have a roll bar installed and harness' installed.

Furthermore, most tracks will require your to run water only (or water and water wetter) in your radiator (no anti-freeze) for 11:00 second cars.

I know you are still a second away from a 11.0 but it's something to think about. You are knocking on the door of a 12.00, so I would check with the track officials before your next trip to the track. I'm guessing my Black Series should be a low to mid 11 second car running the Corsa "street" tires once all the mods are done. I am getting a set of 18 Dymags with drag radials which should promise to get me into the low 11's.

juicee63

Im actually running Summit this year in the Benz. There have already been some questions but the Division 7 folks say I am fine as is unless I hit 11.5 or lower.

This would require a SC or turbo IMHO.. so I will leave the high 10s-low11s passes to the heavily modded. I think Rflow and many folks here have been asked to leave the track. The absolute best I could ever do would be 11.80's and that would require a different tire.

I cannot wait to see how the Dymags do, very expensive but amazing . Your car is going to be blisteringly quick.

Has anybody ever launched a benz so hard the front end comes off the ground?

jrcart

I'm sure it has been done, but I am afraid the weak link in the MB would have to be the rear-end. In order to get the front wheels off the ground you are talking huge HP and torque and even more huge amounts of traction required, both of which are atainable but something would have to give and I'm guessing one or two hard launches would fry the rear-end.

I had an old Trans Am GTA with a lightly modded 5.7 when I was a kid and it was making under 400hp at the wheels and it could lift the front tires off the ground when I ran M & H street slicks with 15 pounds of air pressure in them and the rear-end went on that.
