My first 10 second pass

Hey guys,

Since the cat is already out of the bag due to Hammer's spectacular run here is my slip and video of the run. Either way I feel obligated to post my info to give thanks to the people that who helped me achieve my goals. I don't have time to post up all my props just yet but I will later tonight or tomorrow.

This run was done at the same track and same lane as my previous runs but with much cooler weather than before. DA played the role in me achieving my 10's and nothing else. As some of you know from Hammer's thread the 60' clock wasn't working . This was by far my hardest launch to date and shattered my previous 1/8 times. I could only assume that I was very low 1.6's to high 1.5's due to my previous 1/8 mile runs. Before this it was a 1.644 60' with my 1/8 time at 7.134. Like I said, I could only speculate from info provided by my other runs. I only had 2 clean runs due to oil spills and traction issues.

Quick note please....anyone who thinks I'm using nitrous that's fine because I don't care but please keep your opinion to yourself. These are the types of reasons why I didn't want to post my times. Is my trap accurate, I don't know but all I could tell you is that they hold NHRA events with dragsters that often qualify at this track. Is is hard for me to believe my car is that much faster than any other E55....yes it is. Either way this is the track I run at and even though not the nicest it's still a highly used track with many events through out the year. MB's have been running here for years with only one other MB running in the 11.07 @ 128...this run was done by Roger Vier in 2006. In the end this is my track and the only one I could run at. If I had a MIR or Atco that would be great, but I don't. Take it for what it is, a enthusiast having fun with his car and sharing the results. I'm not trying to set records or be a wanna be professional driver, just doing what I love to do...mod and go fast.

Thanks guys I'm just hoping to get more highly modded cars over here just to see where my car really stands. At one of the gatherings we had stock cars and lightly modified cars trapping what they were supposed to.

Tom, my friend borrowed it to do some logging on his P-car and didn't have time to return it. I wish I did because that was my cleanest run to date.

That stinks...because that was easily a sub 7.5s 60-130mph run...

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I really wanted to see how level Sacramento is and compare data at the track vs Performance box. I'll be sure to get this done next time.

I really wish Famoso was a option for me this year but due to a memorial service it will keep me home.

Alan wow now what?

I have the name and number of a shop that can put a chute on yer E55, this car is simply in a class alone.

You have been in the game a short time, your focus and determination is your nitrous.

I am astounded at the pace of your rise, Congratulations

Thanks Josh! I've put in a lot of time trying to get my car into the 10's. All though not the first due to Tag's outstanding run but either way I'm very excited about my run.

Haha...I'm still not done yet. Now that I made my 10's I will start taking crap out. One day this winter all my seats will come out and a race tune will be done!!!! I want to see how low she could go.

Off to work...damn!
