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:
http://www.vimeo.com/2752818

let me know what you need.

Thanks to Chiromikey for lettin me borrow your wheels! (Yer a lifesaver)

As for me...I started out running an 11.7 @ 120. Then everything went downhill as I just couldn't hook up with my Nitto 555R's. Then I asked Chiromikey if I could borrow his wheels for a couple runs and he was kind enough to let me use them. Thanks again Mike! I finally got some traction and ran a

11.4 @ 122.

A new personal best for me...

Thanks again to everyone that made this event possible. I had a freakin blast! We need to do this again soon!

Damn Sun, What do you have in there?!

He did a great job and yes he should charge for his services or at least be given a set of drag radials, LOL.

Evan,

wow what a great run. This is exactly where my car should be!! I let everyone knoe aboutyour pro racing skills and then you back it up with runs like that. Team AZ really poured it on and I loved runningyou. Rick had just lost 3 straight on his 20's LOL

Maybe Rick and I will come down , the track there has always been one of my favorite places, mostly cause of the people.

Once you get a custom tune, you will easily run mid 11s at 120+mph. Just take your car to the track. You might be surprised! I know I was when my car ran 11s bone stock!! Get it done and join us for the next track event!

sure evan comes off as this nice innocent generous guy and it pisses me off that i still like him after he knocks everyone out of the bracket with his robot like reaction times. then to make matters worse, his wife is just as sweet and nice as he is! no matter how bad he beats you on the track you just can't dislike anything about the guy. if you guys do make it down here he'd probably go out of his way to make sure you had a good time before leaving you at the tree.

TOTALLY frustrating if you ask me!

funny Mikey, Evan is the greatest guy and how I beat him even once is a mystery. Least I got to tste a couple wins prior to losingthe last 10 times. Yeah it definately SUCKS drwing this guy in a bracket race.. Always fun to try?

Steelers won so he must be very happy.

Im glad Im not the only one that fears the crossfire

Mikey, It was nice meeting you. I'm very impressed with your setup and your car runs very hard! I should have asked you to make the first few runs in my car when the DA was decent. It took me all day to figure out the best way to launch my car. (considering I make 1 pass every 1-2 hours)

Josh, It was a pleasure to meet you. Your posts are always colorful and make me laugh at work. You are a true drag racer! I hope to continue to see you push the envelope in your 63's performance. Mucho props my friend!

In drag racing, it is everything.

Good DA + good 60 foot is ideal. DA is based on a formula of the temp, elevation, humidity, and barometric pressure.

It's Density Altitude. Basically, How far above or below sea level the track is in certain weather conditions. Ideally you want anything in the negative DA. The Denser air helps create more hp within the motor. Thus yielding quicker ets and higher trap speeds. Hope this helps.

You two made me reading this post. Not sure the next time we'll meet up but it will sure be fun. Thanks for the kind words and yes I have a great wife. She is an enabler, to this mad hobby I have. The next time we do meet up I will let both of you take the crossfire for a few runs, and do some bracket racing.

Proud to fly my black and yellow colors...........GO STEELERS!!!!
