Great job Rick!!
ClS does 177mph on spray?
How does this compare to other big sedans? oops er I mean 4 door coupe's? Is there a time associated with the speed?

Lets just that on day one, Friday I was faster than most the Vipers, Z06's etc. The 177 was with the AC on 
.. Also ther were cars out there that are 125-140 in 1/4 drags wich we all know is fast but those are the same cars that I went faster than in a mile. As for spray, 
when you have a Nitrouse controller system, as I do , you set all the saftey cut-offs manually thats mean the nitros will not spray if it is outside your setting. That is where the problem is going that fast you suck in a lot more air so you must adjust to that. As I found out, so did I spray ? Hell ya , did I spray past 150 no. The next time the system will be perfect and much higher speeds will come
. To fully understand what goes on with our cars when we drive them down that mile you just have to try it.. he are a few more pix.. oh and AMG is a hit at THE TEXAS MILE. I will go to everyone they have from here on out, I still have SO MUCH TO SHARE but will do so day by day.

Hey Friction - thanks a TON for the rides back and forth to the line. That 8 pound camera and tripod gets a little heavy after the 1/2 mile mark...!!
Here's just a couple shots from the event:
little windy
pit stop
end of day 1
