But I would hope that you would swap out the filters at the track and not subject the car to the risks of a 4 - 5 hour drive without them.

Raises a good point - every car that is going should be clean about what it has. With so many cars there, it will give participants a really good comparison of mods. So if you are running with pantyhose (or wearing them while driving) let everyone know. Actually, I really don't want to know who is wearing pantyhose. Scratch that.

I've got nothing to hide, hell there is a thread of the build of my car in the BS section of this forum. I have since added the VRP high capacity CF airbox. A set of custom, one-off special off-set 17" Forge Lines with Mickey Thompson E/T Streets. In addition to that I have already told everyone I am having NOS installed as well as a CF drive shaft (good for .100-.125 sec.). If I can get cams and head work done before the event I am going to do that as well. I was just informed by Brad that the new pulley they developed for my car is finally ready to ship, that is going on my car too. If anyone offers an improved throttle body for my car, let me know, I will throw that on too.

Perfect - knowing what's been done helps all of us appreciate mods.
If I do make it down there with my E55, she will still be exactly as I drove her out of the dealer, but with my PS2's.
I would suggest to Jay and others that one lane be devoted to drag radials and the like. Street tires do a number on the launch surface.

You nipped at my heels! I was previously the worlds fastest 63 until you came along 
Good job on the time, that's impressive!
My 63 has a few mods, but mainly we're running a NOS setup from ASR Engineering...A few more things being worked on right now to make your job more difficult

Thanks man, I'm, trying to arrange it, the problem is we'll just be settling back in from SEMA at that time, so we'll see - chances are 70/30 right now on the good side. J

LOL!! Nope, a credible source told me that Jody's car was wearing pantyhose on the turbo's at a meet only 3 weeks ago.
NO FILTERS!!!
You'll have to ask Jody what brand of pantyhose they were but several sources have confirmed it. Please don't ask me what color they were either Lorenzo.
I heard it was mentioned that my car broke down on the way from E-town. Yep a broken old alternator belt was all it was. Dry rot from the car being stored for two yrs. However,Jody did help me to purchase a new belt though which I sincerely appreciate.
Whether Jody will admit he was using pantyhose as filters on his turbo's($200k CL65), will be up to him!! These guys who told me would not lie.
S600TT hint hint!!!!
