No worries, I have him covered on the jack and wrenches. Do the M3's take a 17mm like MB's? I want to make sure I have the right sockets if not.

Seriously, I would be doing the same thing. *****, one time I left Vadim's shop at 3 am on a Friday trying to make a track event in Sacramento on Saturday...now that's some die hard *****! Actually I was tired when I got home and decided to skip the event and sleep .
I'm in a motel 6 less than 100 miles from the strip it really isn't a bad drive with no traffic. I know I would not have the patience for it during the day, LA alone would be almost 2 hours.

The holiday inn express was all booked, I'm bummed, their commercials had me wanting to try it.

They start dragging at 6 pm tonight. Berkeley is just a hop skip and jump away from Sacramento, maybe a hour drive? Come one over and let's see that bad boy run!!

You might want to check to make sure your M3 excepts a 17mm if not you might want to stop by auto store to pick the proper size up. Let me know.

See you in a few hours.

What time are you going to show up since you're in town? I plan on arriving around 5:00 or so but I'm in no hurry to run at 85 degrees.

Well I'm here. Going to grab something to eat and maybe catch a movie, I've got time to kill.

Car says it's 79 out, not bad for tonight.

I just got back from the track as well (not the same one bassn was out) there was an Black e55 nicely modded on the outside, but was completly stock. He ran a 13.00 flat at infineon raceway.... Later i went up and ask him if he was a forum member, He answered no i told him about mbworld. I also ask him about his Time... I said "man you should be spanking me, these stock run about 12.4 or so (I was doing 12.6) ) He claims he has to take it into service.... not sure... maybe pump.. anyway Only 2 mercedes (Including me) were represeting today.... at infineon..... Had some head wind, and people that been to infineon know it that it starts to climb up hill toward then end...

Typical SAC track prep, poor poor prep = poor poor 60ft

Thanks for posting thanks for going and running.

Least you did not slide off the track into the wall?

Just made it home and I'll never do a Wednesday night again...PERIOD! What's sad about tonight it that I was the fastest car out there, I think. Today was a big disappointment and to top it off 2 miles from the track I got a check engine light.... I was really hoping to get a good comparison between tunes but with 2.2 60' times it wasn't going to happen. The only good thing about tonight is it only coast $15...wonder why traction sucked. Everyone always talked about how crappy traction is at Sac and this is the first time I actually witnessed it. Oh well lesson learned.

You can still use your trap speed as a comparison as the 60 ft time can be tossed out. As long as you stayed in the run looks like the car was doing some respectable traps

How was traction? What kind of 60' times did you and the E55 get?
