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:
