More Event Videos
I found some more videos of some of the runs taken by my friend that day. These were shot by an older digital camera, so there was no zoom, sorry.

What an awesome time that was..... it makes me look forward to the next event event more. Enjoy.....

It was AWESOME It was much better in the morning, but things calmed down by the time we ran I could've broken into the 12.10s if we would've started early, but it just had to rain

Curious, what were the best 60fts on non-DR street tires?

Can you list the times (rather than watching all the videos)?

LOL...... You're in the wrong thread. This is the 2008 thread, you want the 2009 thread (about 5 threads down)

The best result from each car would be great.

But any car on non-DR street tires - I'd be curious to know the best 60ft. Thanks!

I don't think anybody posted their timeslips..... I know my 60' time was not that great (between 1.95 and 2.05 all day). Shawn's E55 was averaging 1.75, and both CLSs were pulling 1.85 to 1.95. There is a brief summary of the best times in this post here...

If you aren't spinning, launch harder!

On the 63s, if we try to launch hard and there's enough traction to support the launch, the car just bogs down I remember at Fontana, Juicee launched very hard on a very nice set of MT tires and near perfect track prep yet his times were slightly slower. I'm not sure if that's torque management in action to protect the 7g or maybe a delay in the ECU somewhere but it's very frustrating at times
