Hey all my mods are below. I could not make a third pass. I had to unfortuantely leave.
I still don't understand how dropping 3 tenths off my 60-foot only dropped my ET by 3 tenths. Perhaps due to rolling resistance with 15 psi in the tires? I wish I had taken out my air filters and put on lighter front kosei's...or taken a shet...that might have made the difference today in hitting 10s.

on back half, no question about that, but usually .3 sec down low will get you a little advantage on 1/4 mile ET, given that was your only mod with same tires.

Did you change anything else? shifting points? Way you drove it?(I mean did you go dead straigh down the track etc.) Dropping air pressure will hurt you

Second vs. First
dyno mode vs. s mode (ESP on)
15psi vs. 28 psi
car height was set to high vs. normal
launch was from 580 rpms vs. 1100 rpms
Jay drove vs. me (I weight 225, Jay 175?)
Negligable DA weather changes
I also did the ECU reset before I ran my first pass. It seemed to shift harder which is everyone's experience...not sure if it helped.

ahmad, great event, thanks for putting everything together and congrats on your E/T you are the man! I was having all kinds of issues today. At dinner tonight Marko and I were discussing an event in the midwest next spring I guess /we will keep you all posted on that. It was great finally meeting so many of you all.

No, the shifting points were not changed as far as I know. The only things that were different in the second run were:
Second vs. First
dyno mode vs. s mode (ESP on)
15psi vs. 28 psi
car height was set to high vs. normal
launch was from 580 rpms vs. 1100 rpms
Jay drove vs. me (I weight 225, Jay 175?)

You guys had the absolute best weather conditions today for the track....
The barametric pressure alone would give you roughly -900ft compared to a normal 29.7. 29.7 vs 30.47 is -900ft.
I come up with -2,080 ft without track elevation.NEt of track elevation and you guys had:
-2,000 ft..

Ended up with a 11.59@119.75 as our best today in the C63. Props to Jim, John, Marko for breaking their own records. Jay had one hell of a run for having one wheel peel issues, and Ahmad was smoking as well. Craig B. ran a 11.80@120 in his stock (save DRs) 08 CL600. Great day for sure!
MIR rocks!

Hey all. Well I need to go through what videos I do have from the day.
My origional camera guy bailed on me 1 day before the event. My second guy had to leave just after the Viper crash(I dont thnk he got it on film though).
I crushed my previous fastest time with my regular renntech tuning to a 12.01 @ 118.16
I only got 4 runs in the morning before I think my torque converter burned up and couldnt run my car anymore. my car has MAJOR slippage from gear to gear now. Gonna end up at the shop monday morning. am a little bummed cause with the times guys where making I would have had 11's if I could have gotten a few more runs in
Well theres always spring time
Anyway it was great meeting a bunch of you. Was a little depressing being a bystander for the second half of the day instead of running Appears beyond the accidents that several peple messed up their rides, so I guess I shoudlnt feel too bad.
Again thanks to everyone who helped me with my car. Oxygen for having his SDS to read my computer and clear my codes so I could drive very slowly without my tranny locking into 2nd the whole time Anywaays thank you everyone for your help and support regarding my issues.
And a shout out to Ali and Moe- Awesome meeting you guys! And thank you SO much for following me most of the way home last night to make sure I got back ok!
Lets try to get an early spring time event going again! Start planning! Get my ride fixed and a proper tuning and hopefully i wont be far off from Andy C63 times
Anyway good times and I will check my video later today and see whats worth posting. Keep you all posted regarding my semi-broken car

Ahmad, I seemed to have misplaced my time slips from yesterday, people kept asking to see them and I never got them back. Can you check if the track keeps times on record, I was car #32. Josh is going to be asking for proof of my 11.19...thanks

Hey Jody. My drag radials didnt hook in yesterdays weather. First run was an 11.13 @ 126.55 with a horrible 1.79 60ft. Second run I ran an 11.16 @ 127 and toasted my rear end
