Juicee.. I forgot to mention meeting you. You are a riot, and know you had your hands full with the CLS. On one run, I thought you were going to get groceries, only to realize you were still spinning the tires half way down the track.. Nevertheless, great meeting you too. I need to PM Scott - he hooked me up, and I understand something he got from me did not work, and that has me very bottered.
I am so fricking hooked on this racing..
I just finally got home after another pit stop on the way from Famoso. Alan, I hope your issue is not too bad (Time / $$), but you have one of the best in your camp, so I suspect the problem will be history soon. Will you elaborate?
I think your vibration must have been worse.. and I want to know what pitfall bestows the fast guys.
BTW- I saw Jeremy (C63) run a 11.5.. HOLY CRAP. I HATE THAT GUY NOW!!! (He still had his overnight bag in the trunk)

Oh and I told you, you'd be hooked bro
It was great meeting you at the track and seeing your car rip the 1/4 mile track apart

Congrats to everyone! Sounds like it was a blast!
Alan, sorry you had issues with your car, but as someone else said Scott is the man

Sun your car is sooo consistent and 127 is hauling the mail!! Nicely done brotha.
and dammmmnnnnnn I want a c63. What those cars are doing is just nuts for NA!!!!

I took Jeremy for a run down the strip so he could feel what was happening. I ended up running in the 11.2's and was then warned never to do that again...lol. After that my tech gave it a test drive and we decided to call it the day. In all honesty I probably shouldn't have ran the car with the issue but after 4 hours of driving I needed to run. At first it was very slight and progressed into a violent shake, it felt like running over a series of lane markers.
Either way the car still ran good times and to be honest I'm not even sure if it affected my times or not. What did disappoint me was having to stop running my car. My best launch of the day was a 1.596 but 3/4 way down I lifted because things felt very bad.

Thanks Charlie. I'm not sure how bad it is but Scott will soon figure it out. The car had a violent shake at the upper RPM's and at first I thought maybe I through some balancing weights off my skinnines. I switched back to my HRE's and the problem was still there. After that I just put the car back on the trailer and called it the day.

The track prep was incredible yesterday.... had you been able to run a few more times, I'm sure you would've hit low 1.50 for the 60' By the way, I do have your weather station, and you still have my PerformanceBox

Many of you have PMed me asking about the DA since I was holding two hand-held weather stations in my hand all day I will post it here instead of PMing it multiple times.
From 8 am to about 10:30, the DA went from 120 ft to 430 ft.
Then from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm, it climbed slowly up to about 1400 ft.
Then it started a rapid decent back to 650 ft by 5:00 pm.
We made our first run at around 8:40 am. Please note that the clock on the timeslip is actually one hour off.

Any one else take any video?
I saw a couple OE Tuning/ Gintani (JJ) took with the small High Def cam. WOW. Great quality in a very small package. Just wish there was more footage.
