Btw, DA at 10am today was -1500. At noon was still -1350. Tens for everyone with sticky tires!!! Lol

Damn, when does the track open back up next year, I will make the trip for sure.

Why did you sell that drag pack then Craig?

RaceHorse

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!!!

Wow that DA is awesome!

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.

e55 baller

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 ****.

This man speaks the troof!

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.

I just heard that a bad *** C63 is coming tomorrow.

chawkins2001

Because I have a matching set ccw drag pack that I picked up. It will be my year round setup. I do have another set too that would be just as deadly that I am working on.

e55 baller

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.

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).

You running Meth Clayton? Goodluck to all and update as much as possible, EVERYONE

blackbenzz

I've loaded a jack, a portable gun for lugs, two sets of rear 16" ccws (one with hoosier Dr and other with Mt et streets), and a set of skinnies in my little clk. The crazy things I do for you guys!!! Lol. See you guys in the morning

jimmyp

Going to be a fun time, see you guys there

e55 baller

YDM Amhad, i wonder if those CCWS would fit on by ride, lol. Now I need to do some research and try to figure out how to put my car into dyno mode.

SrtJake

Any of you fellas know if the track sells ice,or is it best to bring our own?

Benz-O-Rama

Isaac, your IAT should hover around 50-60 over ambient in these cars. Stab the throttle and it should drop to 30 over and slowly rise. I'm running a completely stock cooling system and pump. You even have a slightly larger h/e than me, I do believe. Sounds like your system might need to be bled, if you recently changed the 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.


No sir, no meth. I really, REALLY want to do this with just a tune. Well, tune and D/Rs....oh, and no mufflers....oh....and filters. But yeah...tune only.

There's not many out there like you, Ahmad.

Benz-O-Rama

B.Y.O.I.

e55 baller

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.

Benz-O-Rama

This right hurrrrr fellas, means your **** is; wtf you **** is. Cant complain about d/a, or track prep, or sac-town timing equipment. If you run slow tomorrow; well, your car is slow. If it runs fast, it will all be caused by the D/A; right? So it's a no win. I say let's use MIR as a meetup spot, everyone make 2 hot lap passes. The slowest buys first round at Camelot Night Club. The only D/A I'd be worried about at that point, is the D.A., right behind my zipper. .

Its too friggin cold. Took me a while just to scrape the ice off. Had to park in the street so I didn't wake up the neighborhood lol

chawkins2001

That's my boy, already updating on the way to the track. Goodluck at the MIRacle track today.

Nino S

good luck fellas!! I wish I was able to come out but I am stuck at work :-(
Got to pay for the toys!

Benz-O-Rama

First pass I spun. Second pass I spun....and did this.

Benz-O-Rama

Just getting started here....

Tom ran a 10.8x in his GTR!
