MIR Track Rental 12/9/11
Does that make the car shift faster and run faster or does it just remove the torque limiter with no other performance benefit? I could only feel it happen on one run today, all the others I was able to get past 3rd gear.
Everyone was in awe to see an S65 go down the track!!! Bruce from TTM Motorsports was the one that helped you out. Bruce sure put the smackdown and got the new 10.59 record for E55!!!! Good seeing you and def will meet up and stay in touch.
Nova, hope your wife is ok from the accident.
Great bunch of guys at the track, everyone helping eachother out in our quest for lower ET's. Videos are coming this weekend.
E55 baller, that was Bruce coaching you.
Records and PBs were going down like my ***** of an ex-girlfriend on prom night.
My bests 11.0x were all early. Once a V12TT gets soaked, your day is done regardless of air temp and ice. I'm still thrilled, but would have loved to brought home a 10sec slip.
Bukasa's car is very quick, and his PB was set with 11.26, I believe.
Dodger's car? What's left to be said? It defies logic and after 40 passes, seemed to get stronger. It's unreal...
Lowprofile? Um....yeah....wow. Talk about break yo neck quick! How fun was THAT?!
Once again, thanks to Ahmad for setting it all up. We're very lucky out here to have the group that we have. For those that haven't been party to one of our MIR rentals, it really is a brotherhood. Had a blast guys. The wife wanted to go xmas shopping when I got home, but I was in a celebratory mood and decided to pop a cork instead. Had I brought home a 10 second slip, we'd have gotten the expensive stuff.

Cheers boys.

In fact, it beats any nitrous record as well.... holy ****

Here's my contribution (Since everyone else was breaking records I'm going with "Fastest E55 with headers, tune, 168 pulley and HE"

I had fun yesterday... I got to witness some overall and personal records go down.
Clayton...was a freakin colonic away (assuming he already hasn't had that mod done yet) from a 10 second run....especially on that 11.02 hot lap run.

Bruce and Lowprofile were great to talk to and watch....man that E55 was loud... it sounded like a big block American V8.
Ahmad was his usual helpful self....always looking to help and turn a wrench.
Dodgers C63 runs as wicked as it sounds.
Overall a great day. Maybe we can get one more track rental in before it snows...and I grow a sack and do a run using launch control.

good to know, i am going to get my TCU flashed and also put on my heat exchanger. Between the two hoping it nets me another 2 tenths.
I also found a cat less exhaust and bigger downpipes. the exhaust system adds 40 whp and costs 2.5K. So hopefully this spring the pig will run an 11.5.

Great job, BT. And thanks again for schlepping my DRs down for me, yet again. And another big

(for the non-drinkers out their it's equivilent of $2-buck chuck wine)
$13.99 Korbel FTW!
I was able to muster a 11.97@117.17 with a 1.85 60 foot on crappy street tires at 30psi and with dyno mode on. I had to really ease into it otherwise my 60 foots where 2.2-2.4 sec.
I kept hitting what I believe was the torque limiter as sometimes the car would not come out of 3rd at the 1/8 mi mark and i was stuck at 75mph...the car would go into limp mode and i would have to restart it.
I also measured the IATs and while it was 47 degrees out when I staged I was at 90F for IATs and when I crossed the 1/4 mile mark the IATs were fricken 204F! So there you have it...a cooling problem, whats new??!!
Also this fat pig with a full tank of gas and me in it tipped the scales at 5,602 lbs. Thank you Ahmad for the helmet and for the dude that coached me down from a 2.4 60-foot to a 1.85 -- I don't believe I ever caught your name but thank you!!!!

Good seeing you and thanks for coming. Yea I'm going to try to get onemore in but it will be short notice and I know it will be difficult for people to make it but its the only way to guarantee the weather

Great job, BT. And thanks again for schlepping my DRs down for me, yet again. And another big

With your mods, that car is moving!!!! Credit has to go to the driver too!!! Funny that me/e55baller ran into you in Tysons heading home from MIR.
Everyone who attend the last event was a stand up guy. Great track, populated by awesome people= win !!!
On a quick side note, Saturday morning I wake up like a 12 yr old kid on X-mas morning, ready to marvel at his new toys. My wife was already up with our girls, relaxing in the kitchen and she has the slips in her hand. I look at her and smile, and she sends a big smile back. My girls have now run over, trying to climb up my legs. Her first comment of the day, "you do realize that the car is titled in my name???" Me, "uhh".(with my smile turning into a smirk) Her, "I now have the record and I did it while I was out shopping...how's that for multitasking?"
Damn it....she got me yet AGAIN !!!

On friday I spent the time sanding and spraying my intake boxes and engine bay cover, she came out and saw the red dust from the offspray on the garage floor. Immediate bad mood there, and when I asked if she wanted to see the end result, it was greated with, not now busy cleaning the house. That dust just sweeps right up but the deed was already done, lol.
It is nice to have support from your significant other, no doubt.
