Doesn't look like I'm going to make it this time. Broke a sidewall on my front tire hitting a pothole over lunch today. There is a nice bulge in my tire. Have called everywhere and no one has a 225/40ZR18 or 235/40/ZR18 that they can get on the damn car tonight...or tomorrow morning. I'm quite peeved right now. Luckily, after visual inspection doesn't appear I bent the wheel so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that.
Man I just got my DR setup ready to go and now I can't make it... F.
I'll be at the next one.

Please run a 10.57 or better. It will give me some motivation to go faster! Have fun...wish I could be there to watch. Should be a nice day.

I still can't believe a 10yo NA block with a supposedly limited blower can go that fast WITHOUT spray. That's a pretty strong block even with Race Gas as protection. Amazing Ahmad!

We had about 40 cars in attendance. All types of cars and it was a blast! We had positive DA so the conditions weren't optimal for MIR but it was good to get back out there and have some fun.
Glad you had fun!
Ther were alot of fast muscle cars there. Several GTR's one of which had upgraded turbos. A couple porsches, some BMW's some benzes, some VW's, some lightnings, etc etc. We had a nice eclectic group of cars. Even had another Kleemann supercharged car in attendance!
Thanks
It's not fast but it is pretty consistent. My 60's ranged from 1.515 to 1.494 What's scary is that I'm leaving alot of rpms (on the stall) on the table because I don't want to break stuff! Can't wait to hit the track with you in some more favorable conditions 
Good!

Not sure what you are implying here but not only did I not use nitrous but I was using pump gas (93 octane) like usual. This is why I didn't post my times because there is no point, it just turns into stupid bickering and bs rumors. I know what I ran and I am happy with the numbers in positive DA. I am also amazed at how much this block can handle! Charlie brought me some 100 octane race gas but I decided to save it for a future date with cooler weather.
The cat's still in the bag then. I guess I'll just be in suspense a while longer.

Edit: Oops. just saw your post above. I got a bad tip then. Could it be one of the two infamous CL65s then?

You don't have to prove anything if your timeslip prints out 10.584 or less. It's still numero uno in my book because nobody has been able to achieve that time regardless of track or conditions. If you captured that record you should post it on dragtimes again for posterity. I see alot of members here post their best times in their siggy so it's no big deal to post it publicly. It's amazing even if you ran 300shot but I def believe you when you say without spray and ONLY 93 but even more amazing. Without your feats, I would have scrapped my car long ago and moved up to a 65TT.

E55 (for sale if the right offer comes along)...too many others to list
Next time you run I will be there to film I promise. Can you imagine what you could have done with cooler weather? Soooooooooo close! That car is insane! I can vouch that you don't run NOS, and you don't have to prove it to people. Especially people that don't even make it to the track. If you did run NOS you would have no problem saying it. Muah

Great job guys and it sounds like you guys had a blast!
Ahmad, its all a matter of time buddy and us West coast guys are cheering for ya....get it done!
Nitrous...really, come on, I still can't believe people are still barking up that tree. This is the exact reason why I hate posting times, must be nitrous, track is fast, track isn't accurate...what a joke.
Once again great Job Ahmad and I look forward to seeing what you do in cooler weather.

Record, no record...who gives a ***.
Anybody want to know why he runs those times only has to come and watch.
He simply drives the holy shiit out of that car ...the launches are amazing.
Clearly the car has nearly infinte engine and drivetrain mods, but it is the driver that makes it happen here.
As impressive as a 750whp GTR with launch control is, there times were within a hair of Ahmad.

Nope. Evosport's still got it but I can't get a hold of Brad at all! Took off for vacation and left my car unattended for 5 days. Not happy but I'm sure it will be looked at when he comes back.
