Congrats Hooleyboy! I'm sure that made your trip worth while .

If you don't mind me asking what was his PB before this run...11.7?

WOW!

Congrats on the great WR! That ET and MPH look oddly familiar to me.

I wish I would have stayed long enough to witness the 11.55 run! I missed the 11.74 run as well. Only caught 2 of your runs from the stands at 12.1 but it looked like you had trouble hooking up on those runs. Great meeting Mike Hooley, Richard and Ken from DynoComp. I was really impressed with the whole team. Hopefully, I can get my 82mm TB kit and/or belt sli problems solved so can I run at Sac next time. And thanks for diagnosing and test driving my car. Richard and Ken, I really appreciate the time you took to talk to me and offer great advice! . I may need to make an appointment sooner rather than later after I get my dyno done at Evosport on Monday.

I just wanted to say I had a blast as a spectator today,It makes me want an amg even more. I will be upgrading next summer after my deployment. I have always loved fast cars and have always wanted an AMG. Hopefully next year I can race with all of you. Alot of sleepers running too, a 10 sec silverado, 11 sec Impala and those two white 135's running mid/high 11 sec Very consistant and great traction everytime.Makes me want to cross into the dark side.

A huge thanks to MO for organizing yet another incredible track event!!

I will detail with slips manana

1.Not many cars attained traction, however.
Sal in his SL55 stage 29 ran a 10.89, i wanna say 127 but have no idea exact data.

From the 63 club we had some noteworthy passes

1. Lisa Ruiz had a PB 12.2@117.6

2. Her pops ran an world record CLS 63 time of 11.93@118.2

1. My fellow Colorado Alumi MacGregor and his C63 first time out got the hang quick
rippin a 12.07@117.86
2. The Dragon was on fire as well (Josh#2) running 12.1@117.x


3. Phil took his C63 with just a tune to a 12.40@115

Rick Ruiz the speed channel phenom and Vellano show car pilot also ran a worlds best nitrous pass in a CLS 63

11.6@124

I did not do anything noteworthy, car ran 12.2@115 pretty much all day and could not hook on the three runs after dark.

Hooleyboy ran a PB as did My good buddy Roseylv in his stage 12 E55, lol

The E55 went 12.1@117


Congrats to Sal although I did not see the slip he hit 10's 10.93 and 10.89.


The prior rain made track prep difficult although Sal seemed to master it, nobody else did.

Roseylv stayed door to door with a Carrera GT lol, hope he posts that vid , a classic.

Stanko's jeep still has my head ringing. Chiris's Challenger had a potential 10.1 pass but had to let off at 330.

I saw the Porsche trap 143.

I did lose to the 135 bimmer but had him through the 1/8th , he ran a mere 11.8x@119 crud, wish I coulda kept up.

The 135 trapped a world record 122 on max boost and 159 octane


Alan's record held but dam it was close..SL55 black series wow

I also noticed how well the C63 ran today. They held their own against the E55s for sure.

I think the problem is with the air overload to the stock MAF sensor. Need to change it and we should be good. Otherwise it ran strong except for a brief stutter at 2500 rpm. How did you handle that problem? Move the MAF further to the front and away from the bends? I just want to remove the 74mm MAF restriction altogether.

Good seeing you again Josh, all cool guys at this event, very well done. Mo, THANK YOU so much for setting this up for us!! I had a great time.

I managed a 12.04 @ 115.5, in my Bolt on E92 M3 DCT. I ran a Vbox at the same time, and the times and traps were very close.

That's awesome and great job!

How close was the accuracy of the performance box? With the recent ET and Traps of Sal's car I would like to see what the performance box would tell me about Sac.

which one were u in?

i have 54 time slips. i made the most of my time definately! once it was all said and done, i had 4 11-second runs. my best was an 11.924 @117. my best 60' that i cut today was a 1.764 on one of my 11.9 runs.

thanx for the nice words also! i had a few people compliment me on it, especially when i broke into 11's. i plan to be at the next one for sure.

Thanks Bro.

On the 12.04 run, the Vbox read 12.1 @ 116MPH, so the ET was a slightly slower but the MPH about .5 faster. At Sac I've heard it's the opposite, the ET on the Vbox is a bit better, but the MPH is a TAD slower.

At sea level in 49 degree temps I managed a 119 trap on the Vbox, so I was hoping for a better trap at Famoso, but the Vbox runs at Famoso, gave me the info I needed to see how the Vbox and track times actually compare, and like others have said, they are close.

Thanks to Mo fer organizing another GREAT event!

My stab at 10's will have to wait til January. I blew a head gasket 3 runs in. It just had to happen on the one day I was waiting for all year...

My first run out was equal to my previous PB. 2nd time around I ran the same time and the third is when my head gasket decided to say peace!

Oh well...***** happens... :dunno: Always next time

A bunch of woulda coulda shoulda but IF my car didn't blow the head gasket, I truly believe my car would have hit 10's on the last hour out.

Dam man , I thought you had modded her to have fire and smoke come out of the tails.

That sucks, you and the car were looking strong, I wondered where you went, sorry man.
