Wow!! Some awesome times from you guys! Sounds like the event was a blast.. I wish I could have made it down there to meet some of you guys.
Let's try to organize an event for spring.. It would be great to get everyone in one place.
Now you guys can see the evidence that our cams make power.. lol...
Look at all the top running 55s and you'll notice a pattern.. Albert (rflow), Isaac (E55 Baller), Nate (Nitrous Nate), Ahmad (BlackBenz) ... They all have the cams on their cars. 
----------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac,
So.. Do you think your really low dyno numbers are still an issue now?
Awesome times for your car!!!! Congrats my friend! I know you were really bummed about the car and thought it was running crappy...
Alot of guys who have had disappointing dynos or weird A/F on the dyno have gone to the track and run absolutely blistering times.
Don't touch a thing.. looks like its dialed in!!

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.

I dont think they keep records, im missing one of mine also, your slip can be vouched for as we had multiple witnesses, nice meeting you yesterday Jim and thanks for making it down.
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

Ahmad,
That is a great run man and a fast trap. Congrats man. No doubt you guys worked hard and you choose a great day to run with the weather conditions.
You did predict records would go down and you were right. Although a negative 2,000 DA certainly helped a lot. Nevertheless, it's a record breaking run......

Yea the weather did help alot. Did anyone have a weather station at the track? It would be interesting to see what the exact DA was. Jim wasn't able to best his best N/A times 
I dont even think he came close. You should have come down!Burnout 101 brought to you by John Force

Thanks. What was the DA when you ran? I thought you said they were great conditions.
According to drag times, my run corrected with a guess of -2000 DA was:
"Extensively Modified Supercharged and Turbocharged Engines
11.19 @ 123.561 MPH"
I'm trying to find a bigger throttle body now. That is really holding me back IMO

I will try to get some spacers and get the CCW's to fit. Or else I have to wait until they remake my wheels. Maybe I will buy a set of mt et street radials for my koseis if I get sick of waiting. Tens are well within reach. Nate will probably run tens today! Theer were a few people taking vids/pics so as soon as they post em up I will post them here.

Congrats on the nice run.
Ahmad, may I suggest making this picture your new sig pic. That photo is F-ing awsome!
Maybe even photoshop "BlackBenzz" over the "Cintas" billboard.

Ok, I know terrible quality off my iPhone but will scan tomorrow.
The 126.6 trap was against a GTR...not sure why the messed up trap for him but I believe he went 119.xx
My car was pulling like a freight train in the last 320 feet. Back to the drawing board to test, tweak and mod and get this running 10.80 to 10.90s - non nos.

Thanks. I suck at photoshop. If someone could cut the top half of the pic off so it would fit as a sig and replace the "cintas" with "Blackbenzz" I would use it as a sig.

Here are my two best runs and amazingly my best run ever with no N20 was yesterday as well with some of the worst 60' times ever too. The 60' times were not due to traction issues...they were due to transmission issues and anything over a 1/2 throttle launch and then a stomp would lead to a "cut out" at the 1-2 shift.
No N20:
60'-1.765
330-4.796
1/8-7.305@98.59
1000-9.445
1/4-11.251@123.35
The car felt fast on that run and I knew if the 60' had been better than a 1.76 then it would have been in the 11.1's. I was also impressed with the mph too showing what good air can do. Most of my non nitrous assisted passes are usually high 121's.
Best and only clean N20 pass:
60'-1.827(yuk!)
330-4.833
1/8-7.279@101.84
1000-9.334
1/4-11.071@129.12
I did not spray the car until just before the 1/8 mile and the slip shows that clearly. On my best run ever in the spring, I sprayed the car through 1st gear and I only lifted the button for the 1-2 shift. If I get a new tranny, I should be able to spray all the way down the track without lifting. The day was great as I did not break anything and the cars were running great. All of the fast times were just mind blowing. Oh, last pass I tried to launch a little harder and got a 1.72 60' and the car would not shift into 2nd gear....mercedes benz self preservation mode. Of course the car runs fine around town as I drove it today just to check it out.

Ahmad,
That is a great run man and a fast trap. Congrats man. No doubt you guys worked hard and you choose a great day to run with the weather conditions.
You did predict records would go down and you were right. Although a negative 2,000 DA certainly helped a lot. Nevertheless, it's a record breaking run......
