I give up guys,I made a video to show how violent the car is.I cant even punch second gear without the tires skreeching.

Im on sticky M/T 265/45/18 that are pretty tall and the car just spins them like nothing.

My best 60ft was 1.97 and was a low 11.82 at almost 121

ill post the video in a second,I dont know if you can hear them make noise but they were breaking loose with ease.

remember,these are drag radials and the tc is going nuts!!!

I love you kleemann lol

Tire pressure?

You still made it into the 11's! Post your slip if you don't mind, I would like to see the splits.

11.63 w/1.84 121.8 trap tuned file
11.90 w/1.88 119.8 trap stock file

gotta love these s65's. I had drag radials on for the first run, couldn't do an effective burn out. I hit the rev limiter and the tranny went into "scare the cr@p out of me mode", namely I couldn't select any gear until I shut down and restarted. That effectively scared me away from burnouts. Then, I took the drag radials off for last run and pulled the tune back to stock for a baseline. I need to learn to drive, and I'll get those 60 fts down and break 11.5...

AWOL

hmmm, I would have assumed higher trap. Should have snagged my radialssssss

skratch77

Trap is low from tall 18s and low 60ft with your 16s I would trap a few mph faster.

I can't tell you how scarry that track is at night.I was fighting the tc the whole way

Zax63

You gotta come earlier in the day before all of the yahoos abuse the waterbox... the track was pretty tight. There were a couple of drag cars doing wheelstands because they couldn't get wheelspin. I was walking on the starting line of the right lane and my shoes kept getting stuck. It's worth the extra 80 bucks, you can also run unlimited amounts. No heads up racing, though. Z

AKnight55

yea late in the day the track is def ice.. On one of my runs I spun all the way down the 1/8 mile and ran like a 14 something.

E55Dimon

Didnt make it. On my way there called the place and they said had to be there by 845 to make a run. No way I'd make it before 9. Unfortunately.
Maybe will try to give it a go tonite or sunday. Tough work schedule.

skratch77

its raining track will be closed lol

E55Dimon

^^ Good point..
Looks like you had your fun wednesday, I was real pissed I couldnt make it.

skratch77

yea it was fun but had no traction later in the night.We started racing around 630 and it was like 45d out.

Im going next wed in the morning for there tune session,I guess they prep the track real good then and ill bring my old intake and see how the renntech box does against it.

might aswell since the track will be all to our selves lol

E55Dimon

Whats the ballpark on the time? Maybe I'll join in. I need to see how healthy this thing will run before track closes for the winter (havent ran it yet).
When you say the track will be to ourselves, you mean you and a group already rented it?

skratch77

no just ment that there wont be alot of cars there,Ill go up around 1 and Im not sure if we need to call them or just show up.

Im probably just gona show up and pay the 100 bucks,its the last time that I can run this year there.

E55Dimon

Well, I'm probably game. Where will you be coming from? I'd roll in about 12-1 and would have to leave 230ish.

skratch77

Ill be leaving from haverhill.

yo was that you on 93 south last night in nh driving the white amg?I kinda messed with one last night and he wouldnt run me.

I had my dragradials on and wanted to run him soo bad lol,I think its was a e63 or an e55 with 63 front bumber

E55Dimon

Nope wasn't me, if it was you'd have yourself a run and I'd have myself a loss. Lol

Well if all goes well, I'll see you at the track on Wednesday!

Zax63

You have to call in advance and reserve a slot, you can get there anytime after 11:30, but you can't run till 1. There were 50 cars there last wednesday, which is a lot, but keep in mind that most of them are cars with parachutes who are doing true "test and tune" work, so they are off the track at least 3/4ths of the time. I got as many runs as I wanted. never more than a 4 car wait.

Sorry peeps I've been awol but just thought I'd check the forum to see what's cooking and I catch this thread.
It's great to read that some of you are still going.
Zak -ur in a 65 now?
Is Rowland still king?

Wednesday maybe a go for me to bring the beast wagon out of hiding...

Zax63

Yeah, last december I found an 06 S65 with 9k on it and it was a pretty good deal, those things tank. I've only run it two or three times though, and I find it hella harder to launch than the 63... I see what you 55 boys have to deal with with all of that torque. I don't think that Rowland's been running much, but like I said, we all have to get a few runs in before they go to NHRA rules and we need cages. I don't know about you, but an s65 with a cage, while cool, would kinda ruin the point I bet we could get rowland there for Wed this week. I am going to go at 1:30- better track prep. Z

E55Dimon

Do any of you guys by any chance have Star software? Regional forum is beyond dead so I don't bother posting there.
