Thats it??

Comon bro, DEEEETS, PICS, VIDS, How did ya do ??

jrcart

I had a blast and it was great meeting all the guys, you guys have some fast C32's and SRT6's WOW! My friends and I were very impressed.

Not much good new to report back on my behalf. It was a lot hotter than predicted, I'm not sure what the official national weather service said was the high temp in Morocco, IN today but at one point my car read 90 with a cool engine. The heat, along with what was in my opinion poor track prep kept me away from going low 11 e/t. On a couple of passes I was literally spinning the tires through the finish line. My times were way off considering I was running the 100 shot. By best e/t was 11.4889 @ 122.95. I did however beat my old MPH record with a new trap speed of 123.64 mph (to be expected with NOS). My best 60' of the day was a 1.7039. I ran several 11.4's and 11'5's but that's all she had today. If anyone wants to run corrections or get DA info the pass was at 2:41 pm @ U.S 41 in Morocco, IN

If the weather looks good I'm heading out to Route 66 again on Tuesday night to try again. Looking forward to another meet with you all.

The NOS use makes the correction factor less meaningful but the DA was 4x worse so I think in ideal conditions your going to do very very well, here is a corrected time (not considering nos)

Time recorded 2:45 PM
Temperature °F 89.6
Dew Point °F 48.2
Altimeter Setting 30.12 Inches Mercury
Absolute Pressure: 29.42 Inches
Density Altitude: 2681.9 feet
Track Elelvation: 662 feet

UnCorrected ET:
11.4889 (sec) @ 122.95 (MPH)


Corrected ET to Sea Level:
11.123 (sec) @ 127.087 (MPH)

.5*2681=1340.5

Here is the NOS calculation
Corrected ET 11.286 (sec)
Corrected Trap Speed 125.225 (mph)

Did you run w/o NOS to measure your times vs the runs last time in cooler weather?

I will upload a couple of videos for you. It was darn hot, i personally couldnt beat 12.6

jrcart

I made a couple passes today without NOS they were in the 11.7949 and 11.7179, about 3/10th off my best non-NOS run from this past Tuesday night. The 11.4889 was on the bottle. I'm glad to hear the DA was that bad, now I don't feel as badly about my times.

Great driving!! .06 r/t did you actually dispatch Wayne in his E55? I could not see him in your cam and you cut a great light.

Oh sorry I see it was another C32.

Wow Jim your car is putting some distance on the other 63's and offers up a real serious challenge to all model Benzo's. 11.70@119.9 @2600 feet is stout.


Did any stage 4 or 5 55's race the CLK63 BS?

Man I hope you guys post up some slips and more pics, I LOVE THE FACT YOU GUYS track so often and all of you have really become proficient drag racers!

Mad props to LET , and the participants.

juicee63

I see from the last video a 12.95@113 in an E55, is this car stock? How did jtc55 in the E63 do? The M6?

jrcart

Josh, that 11.70 was one of my slower passes of the day, that race against Jerry was the 3 back to back to back run I made and the car was up over temp gauge was over 100. That pass was on the bottle, I made two passes earlier that day without the bottle and made high 11.7 passes. In all I think I made the following passes.

16.675 (shut down)
11.774 (motor only)
11.717 (motor only)
11.704 (bottle)
11.638 (bottle)
11.593 (bottle)
11.557 (bottle)
11.488 (bottle)

I've got slips and lots of witnesses, however in my opinion none of the times are really even worth posting, accept for maybe my 123.64 MPH trap speed. Let me know if you want slips.


As you can see the bottle was not really helping. My 60' times without the bottle wear as good or better than my 60' with the bottle. Traction was an issue, at least for my car it was, not so much out of the hole, although it was not perfect, but down the track I was fighting for traction. On one pass I was smoking the tires so bad that I actually hit the rev limiter twice during the pass and still managed a 11.683, that is the pass in which I was spinning the tires as I crossed the finish line. Let me tell you that breaking the tires loose at 115 mph on MT's is more than a little scary. I'm used to the planted controlled feeling of the Corsa's.

Let BLACKBENZZ know his CLK record is still safe as well as your 60' record. I think I shattered the 63 trap speed record if I'm not mistaken, right?

mustang281man

hey guys glad everyone had fun. sorry i couldnt make it my buddy offered me some tickets at the last minute to the mac tools us nationals down in indy so i spent all day watching 3 second 300mph cars run. if no one has ever been to an nhra event i would highly recommend it.

juicee63

Bottom line is your getting proper seat time and working hard to go faster. The Mt tires are tall and soft so they float at higher speeds. This feeling requires management . what psi did you run in the MT's?

Let me know your best splits. You can post em in the fastest 63 thread.
FYI Jordan of 360 Forged and ASR engineering claimed to have gone 123 mph but failed to provide a slip. While I believe him w/o the slip I am in a quandry. If you hit 123 and have a slip by all means fax it to me!!


Your shaking things up a bit and it ought to be very intyeresting @ MIR in Nov.

c32used

It was a blast even with the heat it was made comfortable by all the participants that did come...alot of cars had bad trap speeds especially me...my car got down to 13.02 but my friend drove it....spinning was an issue but I think mostly with me or all who just aren't used to dragracing. I need more and more practice to get into the 12s but I know the car can do it just the owner can't. It was a great event held by Wayne(ChicagoX) for all those that don't know it yet...AMG Jerry sold his car so hopefully he gets another AMG but if not his participation in this events are highly welcomed! He as well as others try to offer me advice but I can do only so much but it helped me some anyways I can't wait to practice for the next event. I will try to go to Rt.66 and Byron dragway prior to see how well my car fairs there also. It was fun

ChicagoX

I had an awesome time, thanks to all who showed up.

ET props go to JCart with the BS, times posted above.

I think the R/T props came home with me, running a 0.005 in C32used's car.

Traction was an issue due to heat - the more stickum sprayed down, the more rubber the cars pulled off the track. We swapped to chalking the line after the laser-temp reading of the track hit above 125F

October 18 is the next one planned - it should be a bit cooler.

juicee63

Wayne comon buddy I need more than that , LOL

heads up you ran a guy in this thread he reeled off an .05 and your 32 was not in frame ,

Whats was the story heads up, did the E63 and E55 race?

No stage 4-5 E55's to face mr. jrcart?

You are the master drag racer and you post up a review

" it was hot" "I had fun" LOL!!!!!!!!!

Great times considering the 90 degree heat and track condition.

Where is your car?

ChicagoX

Hehe, that C32 cut a 0.05 to my 0.02 on that run, but his car is faster.

My E55 is sitting, mostly stock, awaiting a smog check. I went to renew my plate, but I had been flagged for smog and didn't have time to get it done (trip to hospital) before the track day.

The E63 was suffering from heatsoak - water temps were in the 110-112 degree range.

I did run my Range Rover (S/C RR had a flat ) twice against a VW wagon....cut a 0.07 on both races on my way to a blistering 16.486 and 16.483 at 83 mph.

No takers on the bracket-race.

c32used

See you guys there

Weather should be great!

c32used

The big Stage 2 E55 gun (ENDSMTG) was not able to attend nor the C6 TT or Nick55 in his P-car but think they may 2 months from now...others such as BTpowers didn't make it.

J 2OOI

Thanks Wayne for another great event.

As previously mentioned, conditions were much less than desirable. My M6 on near bald PS2's could only manage a 12.6X E/T. jtc55's E63 ran in the low 13's I believe.

Alex's car with the cutouts was insanely loud.

Jrcart's BS is very well done. It was fun to watch. (Good to meet you and your friends, Jim)

It wasn't a record setting day, but it was alot of fun. Hopefully the next event will be cooler and we can break some records...

jrcart

October 18th? I am going to mark it on my calender, and pray for cooler weather. By then I should have my launches with the MT's figured out as well as a couple more goodies on the car. It might be my last test before the MIR event.
In the mean time I am going to hit a few of the Tuesday nigh Test & Tunes at Route 66, since I am only about a half hour drive from that venue I should really try to take more advantage of it.

c32used

I may be able to go but I can presume a helmet is required right?

ChicagoX

Please PM me a shipping address - I need to send you your LOW ET prize.

I won't tell you what it is, since you left early. I CAN say it is carbon fiber.

aleksandar1099

juicee- it's not stock, stage 1 but this pass was after running the car six times in a row ... And I did not have the heat exchanger installed so I was having huge heat problems....

My car the the perfectly designed cutouts, I think was a shock to everyone there .... Sounds like a monster !!!

Our drive there started off with us doing a buck ten then escalated to REAlly ineresting speeds jcart's foot hit the floor with me behind him all the way to the world becoming a blur ....

Thanks again Wayne for puting it together..

Hey Jason do u have that video of my car inside .. Thanks

juicee63

Thanks for the info.

Sounds like heat really took a toll on the cars.

Jangy must have the only AMG car in the USA that does not suffer heat stroke.

what was your best ET and trap of the day?

The conditions you faced are an average day at Fontana. So it makes for some great comparisons.

blackbenzz

I already know. Can't wait to take my car to the track! Gonna order axles first because my car is going to be leaving the hole HARD. I did a rolling burnout at 50 mph today This will be a very interesting competition. I applaud your efforts in going to the track so often

BlackOnBlackCLK

It was a bit more than just a rolling burnout you looked like john force heating the tires
