It was nice to meet everybody.
My car was consistent all day going 11.66 then 11.65, and then 11.64 @ anywhere between 120 and the best trap of the day was 122.8
Hi Ed.... it's always nice to see you again my friend Whether at Fontana or at Famoso, your car seems to shock the crowd

Once again thanks Mo for setting up this unbelievable event. I learned a lot of new things and got to meet some great people!

My car had a best time of 11.49 @ 122, with Chiro behind the wheel. My best times were 11.65, 11.663. 11.668 and 11.699 can't believe how many slips I had in my pocket!

HMS, thanks for talking with me and explaining a few things. You guys are true enthusiast. I will be considering that custom dyno tune you guys mentioned. Blue Monster and Benzboi, you guys both have unbelievably fast cars with a bunch of sweet mods. That whole cooling setup Sun has proved to work well on the not so good DA day.

Thanks again everyone for the great time and I can't wait to see you guys again!!!!

+10000000 on Thanking Mo for making this event possible (not to mention letting me use his helmet).

It was very nice seeing everyone again, and meeting other members for the first time. Rather than naming people and risking the chance of forgetting someone, thanks to all.

There was a lot of serious competition and the environment was very pleasant. Very good turn out It was also a very good mixture of cars form our AMG's, M's,SRT's, GTR, P-cars, etc.

You have a very strong VRP car. You have plenty more room for mods. Nice meeting you.

Hi Guys;

I had a great time filming...lots of good stuff in the works.

I'm working on the video now.

Anyone who wants their footage included in my vid should send me a link to the highest res version they have at craiglieberman@***.net.

Include your car stats and sponsors and I WILL mention them.

Auktane: Could use a few stills of the Benzes in particular...but only the parked/static shots.

Thanks for the pics you've posted so far...as usual, superb work.

Thank you all for allowing me and my guys to be a part of it.

Expect the video in about 7-10 days tops, in High Def. like this one:

Alan, thanks again for joining us at this.... your car was running extremely strong..... I have a feeling your car will need a lot more than a roll-bar to run by our next event

Hey Josh, Here is a funny thing I just found out, I was running 91 octane tune all day and broke all the CLS NON NOS & NOS records I do have the RENNTECH "BLOCK HAND HELD TUNER" and it has the 100 octane tune. I thought I was running the 100 tune but NO it was the 91, lol The last time at Famoso I was running a stock ECU and broke the records.. So with the 100 octane tune

My run with Jim at 9:47 am
Jim= 11.65 (NOS)
Me= 11.97 (NON NOS) 91 octane tune

RENNTECH'S TUNING TOOL "THE BLOCK" will change the tunning world as we know it for the 63's. Plug "THE BLOCK" into your OBD11 install your tune, then leave it plugged in, do some runs, email the data to RennTech, they make sure it's all great and make some tweaks if need be, then they email it back You plug "THE BLOCK" back in and down load your new file it's that easy and it only takes seconds to do

My car has much more in it Getting ready for MIR

A BIG THANKS to ACG (James) in San Diego for getting me the RENNTECH BLOCK.. Call ACG for more info on the Renntech Tuning Tool
he is the only one that can get it. Thanks Man

Jangy did NOT back out..... There were no available spots, so he couldn't race even if he wanted to

Rick..... your car defied Physics yesterday As heavy as your CLS is, you keep on going faster and faster not only beating other CLS's records, but destroying even your own previously set records. Juicee may need a supercharger and quad turbos to keep up We need to start getting more CLSs in the game....

I was at the event. Nice day! Vic55, nice pics. Do you mind telling what equipment, in-camera settings, and photoshop effects (if you even used PS) you used? I just got my DSLR and trying to do good car photography. I did snap a couple of pics. Looks like you turned the saturation down a LOT on those pics and added vignetting, no? Very nice
