GOING FOR THE E55 "NON NOS" RECORD TODAY 10/29/2008
Quick note gang. On my way to a meeting than off to the track for the last attempt. I have Kleemann upgrade that hopefully will give me what I am looking for. I will share later this afternoon with the results. My butt DYNO says, "the record is going down today folks".

What is that supposed to mean Bro?...
, Honestly If you have something against me don't play nice with me son...I'd rather you come clean and let me know if something is bothering you...
Last I checked I don't think I owe you or any member in this forum to try to BS any of them.

Weather is PERFECT!!! Hopefully the track prep is too....
Good luck Roland. Right now the DA is almost -1000 and you have a 16mph tailwind!!! And, it is only going to get better. Absolute pressure is down a bit, but the DA by the end of the night is going to be close to -1500 to -2000, still with a strong tailwind. Post tonight even if you get home late. Wish I was there.

Temp 36F and dropping. DA -1100 and dropping. Still a strong tailwind at 13 mph. Test and tune at NED runs from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and the last time I was there, they were letting people in the lanes at 9:59 for the last runs 
Might not hear back from Roland until after 11 p.m.
He's probably making a pass right about now
Where is real time when you need it?!

I should leave this to Roland....but I can't keep my mouth shut...his car was very fast, and he beat a personal best. I'll leave the rest to him. Myself, if anyone gives a shiat, is in the market for some drag radials and an LSD, couldn't break 2.2 60', Spin city even with the feather method...
Rolands car hooks up nasty 1.6's I believe. Video's are comming guys. What a day, could have ran 30x times if you wanted. The track officials got a kick out of it, then they told him to leave(no roll cage)

damn he must of killed it. What ever kleeman mod he did must have worked.
Roland how do you get 1.6 60ft times so consistently. What tires are you running. Do you have an LSD?
Ive gotten 1.6s before but only like 20% of the time and my car is stock
