OldBooster Well guys, it's 11:30 PM here in Florida, and I'm so tired from being at the track all night, that I can hardly keep my eyes open. But I just want to let you know that I ran an 11.33 ET at 121.70 mph tonight, which was after my first run of 11.4x at 121.58. I'll post the time slips tomorrow morning. I pulled off a 1.5 60' after the 1.6. My reaction time was .15! The little 135i blasted out of the hole like a funny car (at least that's what it felt like to me!). We finally got some cooler weather around here ... low 70s!, high 60s!

Now I can work on the top end trap times ... as most of you know, it is hard to run a 1.5 60' and not lose mph at the very end. I think that if I had some wheel spin, I could have trapped at least 125 tonight.

A lot of seasoned street and track racers flocked around my car after the 11.33 run ... looking it all over with a lot of compliments .... asking a lot of questions; I felt like a celebrity. No autographs though.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mods: Juice Box -- all the way, with Terry's superior, unparalleled enthusiasm on the side ... plus a bunch of other bolt-on stuff. Results so far: 11.36@124 MPH @ 85 degrees. Catch me if you can!

He probably was on slicks to cut those 1.5 60' times. Very nice run.

04 - 06 e55 Wagon - looking for
I like the comment on the other forum that the run was not valid because there was no in-car mounted camera pointed inside to nowhere - totally useless video

my understanding this car has all the goodies for bolt ons, Race Gas, weight reduction, meth spray, and NOS to cool down the intercooler. DR's and JB3 piggy back.

NOS was not used for the engine intake.

Twin Turbo power..
