2004 E55 AMG and 2003 C320 4Matic Miss my 993 Turbo above!!
Records Broken?
WOW..................
Lots of highly modified E55 going out this weekend. Good luck to all of you. I have a feeling we may see some records go down............
What's the density altitude projected to be. The track should be in great shape for a private track day. Have fun and be safe. Please post BEST ET's during your track day for the E55's. A live update would be cool. How late you guys running?

On Saturday morning, I am going to be at Streets of Woodfield Starbucks at 7:30 if anyone else would like to drive down there when I do. It is not required, just a courteous invitation to roll with my guys, and we will leave the parking lot at 7:45 sharp. If you are late, you will have to catch up. We are taking the 355 extension to I80, and heading down I65. Endsmtg, if you want, I can call you when we get close to your area, and maybe you can jump on when we go by. This will not be a 120 MPH blast down there, since the real racing starts after the tech inspection. Damn, I feel like a politician or something. I sound like I'm on a soapbox, shutting up now.

PS: Be safe out there.

Trust you’ll all have a swell time getting after it.
Wish for you decent DA and perhaps a tailwind to be a part of the festivities. We’ll be awaiting your killer timeslips!

The 63 only had 663 miles on the odo , so she wasn't letting all of the horses out to play. The next event (July 19) should be a better showing.
DA was atrocious - well over 2800ft, higher on the tower readout.
Jay Nixon ran 11.80 on a pulley, LET HE, and custom LET tune. Three times.
My car was sidelined due to a bad alternator, but several members were generous enough to let me drive their babies.
I'll post up the pics from the pro photographer as soon as I receive them.

2005 Crossfire SRT-6
Just back from the event, it was a good time. It was a little warmer then I would have liked( High 70's and windy) but it was a nice day. The track was having a problem with the left lane reading the wrong ET's. It showed another SRT6 (Steve Hellems at 10.40@109 with a 1.3 60ft and just before that it had Riot at 12.27@109 with 1.5 60ft. There were also several other that ran 7.7 and 9's I told them about it and they said it was leaves blowing in front of the lights. They fixed that and times were back on track. All the SRT6's with similar mods were all real close in times, my best was 12.6281@110.55 (Code 3), Steve's was 12.51@111.10(Renntech) and I think Riot was middle 12's as well(Let).
It was great to met everyone, we will have to do it again sometime soon.

Hey everyone,
Paul here from CPT. It was nice seeing the usual suspects and meeting some new faces. I hope everyone enjoyed this day as much as I did. I could not compete with my stock 335, running a best of 13.44. Cheers
