Think wayne had the fastest @ 11.9 @ 119 ... someone was running in the 120s too? I was mostly 12.4 to 12.8 between 112 to 115 most of the day but popped off a 12.10 @ 117.12 and 12.35 @ 116.57 when it was cooler in the morning.

What was the DA during Wayne's best run? ET's and traps seem low for a modded E55.Originally Posted by alumar

I don't know what the DA was for the day, but I could not get my car to run well. I ran 3 weeks ago in Indianapolis and no matter what I did, I was never within .3 seconds of my runs that day.

IIRC, Wayne's E55 has the HSTC that allegedly can shave .25 - .50 off of 1/4 ET...MBWorld Fanatic!
I checked the DA and it looks like it was pretty high, somewhere in the +2500 range. Even at that high DA I would think his car should have been in the mid 11's. That track has a history of high crosswinds, maybe that was the problem. Either way I'm sure you guy had a blast.

My best 60' was 1.9 for the day.
DA was much higher than predicted, and it actually started raining on the evening grudge match guys.
Track prep was ok on one lane, no better than fair on the other. After a few street-tire passes, it went to hell.
My Drag Radials would break traction as soon as I left the launch pad, spinning thru the 1/8 mile on one pass. Even a soft launch didn't work - the car is a freaking ANIMAL out of the hole.
I have pulled high 1.5-second 60-foots with the stock exhaust manifolds and open diff, so the new Eurocharged longtubes and Quaife LSD should have seen low 1.5s at least.
Time for full slicks.

Oh ya Gagsterbenz, thanks for that one run with the 'help' 
That allowed me to pop off a 1.866 60' with Street tires

I find it kind of an insult to J2001 when he was asked to launch his M6 easier because he was pulling up too much rubber off the track.
