Thanks again Mo for setting this up. My first run in the BMW was at 11pm and they shut down at midnight so I only got 3 runs. My first 2 runs were just trying to get a baseline before I installed the bottle for my dryshot. I was running 11.9 @ 119.3mph, and then on the 3rd and final run...the dryshot was not engaging, or didn't make a difference. I'm trying to figure it out right now. A few weekends ago at Famoso was similar results, 11.8 which wasn't bad for the DA. 7 of my 9 runs were in the 11's, and it runs 11.8 the way I drive it on the street right now. Will have to wait till the next track day for some better numbers!
Also, who had the silver E55 that was next to my black 335i on the outskirts of Bakersfield? The car got a good jump on me, and pulled. I then switched back from my 34mpg fwy map to the race map and before we could run again, he got off the fwy. Even though I was carrying a generator, jumper battery, fuel cans, tools, etc...I think that E55 was pretty fast by the looks of it. Just curious what kind of 1/4 mile times that silver E55 put down.

I'm sorry the DA was not any better. I was hoping it would cool off faster but April is just not the right month at Famoso. I hope you can join us for our November/December rental where we'll be racing in real cold weather

Hey Warren.... I didn't even see you at the track bro? I was wondering where you went. I'm glad you actually made it. The silver E55 belonged to Shawn. It ran a best of 11.58 that night but most of the time was between 11.6 to 11.8. DA was just not too great that night.
Thank you for driving all that way to join us bro, it was great meeting you at the track. Your car gives the word fast a new meaning I'm sorry the DA was not any better.
