Looks like we're in the clear. DC weather....gotta love it. 8:00 they say snow...1-3" where I live. 10:00 news....no snow, rain ending in a few hours. Dry and blustery tomorrow.
Let there be 5mpg, burnouts at every light, and I'm taking on all Civics, Preludes, Camrys, and Delta 88's all day. Gotta burn 1/2 tank.

Thats just crazy what a day to miss. I can't imagine the weather being any better. I didn't realize the Delta 88's were that strong... They sure do things different south of the Mason Dixon Line. You better hope granny doesnt have a built GN motor swap done to give you a run for your money. All kidding aside, I wish you guys the best of luck. I hope to make it down again. Expecting good times from all!!!! No pressure , No pressure!!!

Well tomorrow I will own the record for the W221 S65 2007+ class regardless of my time, why?
Because people that drive 2007+ S65's are lame, there isn't a single 1/4 entry in dragtimes.
I hope to be the first whether I can't hook up and pull a 13.0@120 but hope to run 12.0@120 as stock for the car is 12.4@118 since its freakin 5200 lbs and I filled the tank up last weekend, doh.... so add me to the mix and its 5600+. That is a fricken tank. And I will be on street tires :-( but it will be fun no matter what.
You guys that thought you had heat problems in the E55 (I was one of them), try IATs at 150-190...welcome to the V12TT. Its a heat synch.

Lets talk about that tomorrow, would love to speak to him and hear more about his car as I am looking at a green one now (they are rare) and thinking about getting into AutoX. Unfortuantely even with a tune & exhaust they are at best a 11.8@118 car but they handle like a ****.

It was 41* today when I was out jettisoning fuel for tomorrow. My IATs were 100-105 during normal highway cruising. The good news is, if I dropped the hammer at 60 mph, she broke loose and my IATs fell to 70*....
V12TTs are nuclear reactors.
BTW, a coworker/friend of mine said I/my car came up during a Facebook convo you were having with somebody. I'm the SL600 he was referring to. Dude is named Dave H., has a tricked Rx7, and is an instructor at VIR.
My name is Clayton.

How do you keep your IATs down? What water pump do you have? I tried the Mezier 2 TIMES and both failed on me so i gave up and now i just have an OEM Johnson pump.
I am sure when i arrive my car will be super heat soaked. I might buy some ice to lay on the intake or IC but will probably do very little. I need NOS to cool the car down (semi serious).

Hey Clayton, good to meet you, yeah your ride came up on Facebook. Your fiend Dave knows my good friend Pete who also has a tricked out RX7 and is also an instructor at MIR. It will be good to meet you. I was told to look out for the PLATE "TORQUEY" or something like that.
How do you keep your IATs down? What water pump do you have? I tried the Mezier 2 TIMES and both failed on me so i gave up and now i just have an OEM Johnson pump.

Takes me 3 hours to get there with morning rush hour. So yeah, my car is ragged when I arrive. It'll cool down in about 2 hours in those temps tomorrow.

I hope that gas station about 5-10 miles away has some, i plan to get a few bags on the way down.
I am calculating tomorrow's max negative DA will be -2.2K at sunrise and -1.5K at noon and -1.1K at peak temp of 51 assuming 27F dew point and 30.5 barometer. Should be good to go.
