Roland - two things... 1. the way we all drive, it ain't no 12 hrs, more like 7.5 (or 8 from you.) 2. what are the odds we can do the run without 1 ticket between the three of us? Z

I just thought of something, guys! How would yall like to see a C63 there? One of my good friends in Baltimore purchased the very first one delivered in Maryland. He's not much of a drag racer but I think he'll probably just toss me the keys if I ask for them. If no other C63 makes the list I'll give him a call. But if I bring it, you won't be able to witness the badassness of my E500.

Is this a Mercedes only event or can I bring a Mercedes and a Mopar? I would like to take advantage of the track conditions, and making the 6 hr trek north would be better to bring 2 cars but not the same make. Can someone answer this? thanks

Zach,

Your right, just did mapquest, 573 miles, so more like 8-9 hours, not 12 hours. It's a team effort, one speeder = 3 tickets.........You take the lead down OK...

There has not been one decent Wed. or Fri to race since friggin May. Just waiting for at least a 50-55 degree cool evening to go back to NED. I will keep you posted when I go.

Hey, I thought MIR was the fastest track in the land? last night I ran a 11.824 @ 118.29mph on Corsas at Route 66 Raceway elevation 632ft. Slips to be posted shortly.

Given the same conditions, you would have ran faster at MIR which has a lower elevation. Congrats on getting in the 11's but you're gonna have to do better than that to take the CLK crown I think you beat the best 63 ET though. Even quicker than ASR's sprayed car

Nitrous Nate- You are more than welcome to bring your Mopar along.

This was not a record MPH pass, I ran a 119.2 a month ago, but with a slower E/T.

CF drive shaft is being ordered today and 17" Forge Lines with Mickey Thompsons E/T Streets have been shipped. 50 Shot of Nitrous in the very near future as well. If MIR is as fast as you say, a flat 11 is attainable with my car on slicks, CF shaft and NOS.

Yea, I meant record ET not trap.

Cool! MIR wont do magic but it will definitely help you get some great DA to run in. With 500whp, sticky tires, and 50 shot of nitrous you should be in the 10's. How much does your car weigh? My car only makes a little over 400whp without the nitrous, at leats thats what the dyno says

This is a bit off topic, but the guy doing my tech inspection last night pointed out a Daimler Chrysler sticker under my hood...I thought that relationship was long over. He also mentioned that I can compete my car in Mopar events, is that true? God, could you imaging the look on all those die-hard Mopar guys faces when they got beat by an M-B? I saw it last night when I beat a NOS powered IROC with drag slicks, the poor guys friends would not let it go.

Wait a minute... can you retrofit an MCT tranny to our cars without replacing the whole thing? What, does it just replace the torque converter? what does that cost?

no, but you can acquire the 63 that has it , and drag race prep this vehicle to putthe hammer down on the current 63 King and all that are currently questing to capture King sixty three.


MIR is going to settle alot of years of "stuff"

"The 55 is faster" is going to be proven utter folley.

The "East coast cars are faster" will go down faster than Paris Hilton on X.

Most importantly TEAM AMG must recapture the flag from this 10.50's S600 and that Famed CL 600 you know the one that runs low 11's high tens on a secret tune? Lets just say the V12 is going to get a good view of the new tailight design on the 08 63. Forget the battle of 55 vs 63 the battle at MIR will be to regain for AMG the title of Worlds Fastest Benz.. ok back to the lab

I'm doing my part to represent the 63's. I pulled the trigger on NOS today, as well as a CF drive shaft. So I figure those two things along with my Forge Lines and Mickey Thompsons along with MIR's reputation for being the fastest track in the land I should have this b_tch running very very low 11's or maybe even high 10's. Ain't no way on gods green earth that a 63 is going to touch a 10.50 without a blower. I guess I am going to have to chose between the VRP Kenny Bell Blower or shipping my car back to Evosport for a top end rebuild, heads and cams. I really hate blowers, they whine like a nagging women!

Like I have said before, I don't do anything for fun...it's all about winning!

O.K. I'm up for the challenge. Bring your baddest setup because I love a challenge. My car is coming on a trailer this time so if I blow it up I won't be stuck at MIR waiting for a tow vehicle. That opens a few possibilities....
