Couple vids from PBIR

Here are a couple runs of mine. Hope you enjoy. This is only my fourth time ever at the track and I'm still working on the launch. Hope these work, I f***ed up the last set of vids.

Nice and consistent. The mounting spot for your GoPro seems a bit far back, no? Front of car obscure most of the view?

Talk about a smokey burnout in that first video haha. Not understanding your 60fts being in the 1.8s with drag radials on there though. Are you giving it a bunch of throttle off the line or still easing in to the gas a lot even though you are running the drag setup?

How has the weather been down there? It has been getting decently cold up here in Jacksonville at night (upper 40s right now at 8:30) but I am sure it is quite a bit warmer down there.

Weather down heere sucks! It was 80 degrees all night. Maybe I'm just retarded and can't launch. IDK It's reved to 1k and I TRY to floor it at the last yellow light and it don't seem to go. It seems pretty quick but the time says different. BTW I did that last burn out like that on purpose. Some one broke and they preped the SH** out of it afteer, so I though it would hook harder, but it didn't.

Headers...do it!!

Got hammered and danced with my wifes coworkers (shes a teacher) ;-p

Yea man, Looks like Beuphus is down too. Im going to see if Danny (asiancanton) wants to go. Hes got an E55 too. Got to get a thread going see if we can make this a nice size Merc outing. I hope this weather holds up, I went for a ride tonight looking to play but, its dead out. I figure why let the sticky tires go to waste just parked there.

The CTS-v was in the first vid. He was running 10.8/10.7. He was a good dude. He knows rflow, the 10.7 E55 on drag times. And that grimlin was SWEEEEETTTTTTT!!!!!!!!

Man I am planning on driving down to the Keys on Wednesday to visit my family for Christmas. I had planned on driving my Audi (Gets 27mpg on the hwy and haven't driven it in a while either). I am almost tempted to drive the E55 instead and hit the track with you for the night then continue on my journey south.

Checked the weather for Wednesday, high of 80 low of 70 then throw in the lovely Florida humidity, that freaking sucks! haha. Crazy when you think other guys are running in the 40s or 50s right now. I can tell you my car felt amazing running around earlier tonight with it in the mid to low 50s. I just got back from Italy last night though and have been driving a 95hp Citroen C3 Picasso so that could factor in to it a little too

try easing into the gas next time i guess and see if that helps... I would think with the DRs you would hook a little better. Could just be the temps down there.
