It was fun hangin out with you too Jody. You have areal beast on your hands with that 65. Once that tune is done you will be in the 10's for sure. Bro, I was never in the tower with the AC, I was all around the track talking to all my friends. I got sunburnt and now I'm sitting at work wondering what to tell my boss since I called in sick yesterday LOL I think Alberts E55 would have gone alot faster in cooler temps. That being said, if the cams do what they are supposed to, I do the headlight intake, and I remove a little weight I should lay claim to the fastest non nitrous 55 title pretty soon 
, I said yeah, I couldn't stay in the house all day so I went out to the balcony and took some sun...
....Hope you have better luck than me.

All joking aside it is good to know and for the most part juice/mbforever use it in a responsible manner to gauge their performance. Besides they go to the track enough times to have tons of data.

Here is the turbo BMW E30 that spun out but he saved it and had very minimal damage. I could only imagine spinning out at that speed with oil everywhere.

For a DA of 2400 your best numbers corrected are: 12.19 @ 116.3mph I dont know your exact trap so I just plugged in 113mph
Do you know if anyone got an exact temp readout at the track? My instrument cluster showed well into the 90's throughout the day but thats not very accurate

Apple had his IR reader and the track temps were over 100. I think my tires read 130 at one point. Other then that I dont know if any official readings were done other then standing temps from the cars. It was definetly in the low mid 90's at the peak point of the day. Around the times I made my best 2 runs for the day 12.61 and 12.55 Since those were my last runs before the supra wreck.
My trap on the 12.55 was 113.12 so your numbers for sake of discussion and probably close enough. hopefully this fall when the temps are more on our side I will get close to flat 12's

actually this day since it was a terrible DA day makes for some nice comparisons of Benz times. You guys seem to always run slightly quicker even in similar DA. The East meets West day will truly be spectacular.
Jay your consistant 60 ft times are astounding, a heads up with you and Wayne should be fantastic. WOOOHOOOOOOO. Guess in that case it would be Mid-West meets West and East. LOL
Thanks for all the info guys!

Track prep was really good that day but has been better in my opinion. Sick prep is when the shoe literally comes off by being stuck to the track
Here is what my shoes look like after a day at MIR
