I have a good tuner under my belt!Oh, and don't worry I have a few tricks up my sleeve as well!
LOL,, 
You guys don`t forget to register. When they open registration (like at midnight) , it fills up within hours and then is locked! Easy to say that you will race but getting in is almost as hard as getting the TIME.. Hadi has a good chance, as he will most likely be at a club drinking Stoli when the registration opens.. J/K
Only 5 months until the next event and MArch is the month for records! Better start getting car ready now, as it took me about that long to get all my details taken care of.. Then again parts are hard to come by on the CL..

We already started building the plans for the cars, and will get registration covered. We figured we could register all the cars going right when it opens.
Usually is, but they haven't released the date yet. It seems to be the last weekend in march, going on past events. I will definately keep you in the loop, so we can make it a massive Eurocharged effort with all the cars.

1. Tow car to local freeway
2. Wait for darkness
3. Assmeble parts along guard rail
4. Place car at end of parts stream
4. Call cops and say: A cow just jumped out in front of me.. The conversation continues...
Cops. What is this parachute doing here?
Driver. I don't know, must have been the cows...

hopefully will see this same enthusiasm when we get close to the event
Like Brooke said it take a lot of prep work and dedication to run the mile safely. it is not something you can plan to do in a week.

I don't think that the aero difference with any of these 3 cars is that significant.

Some magazines show the E55 being more aerodynamic at 0.27cd versus the CL55's 0.29cd. Weight advantage also goes to the E55 at 4087 vs the CL55's 4317. It'll be interesting to see what happens in March.

There is a good discussion about aerodynamics and hp requirements on www.**************.com
