Just noticed Eddie in your sig. I was at Benz elite today and Emile mentioned that some of the local guys are planning to hit the track on Sunday. I figured I'd see who is rolling and if somebody else is interested as well. Weather is supposed to be really nice.

Nice wheels..are these 20s? I saw some Vossen boxes sitting at the shop today.

Yep that's Eddie, and yep, those were my boxes; unfortunately, can't go this weekend, I know the guys are committed to the 7th for the closed day so I'll have to wait until then....

I literally just walked in the door from 75/80. My buddy was running his C36 up there tonight. Light crowd for a nice cool night.

Ran a 12.5 at 113. My 20ft was 2.0 and I couldn't go any lower for some reason. Did a few passes and all were 12.5-12.6 range consistently. Temp was around 68 degrees.

I tried changing the ride height all from raised to sports 2. No difference in times.

well, since I am running all season DWS's, I didn't do any burn outs. Also, didn't really have any specific goals in mind but I was expecting a little higher speeds (may be 115ish) and may be lower 12's. But again, I don't really go to the drag strip (this is my second time in life, first time was with my c6). Just went for fun that's all.
