Good times. We left early... amg's were still running. Track conditions seems a little sketchy from what I saw.
I'll let the owners of the cars post up times.
Nice to meet you guys again. Some very nice cars in Texas for sure.

Well I couldn't hook worth a damn even on Shardul's DR's my last 2 runs. 1.9 60ft...ugh, but still managed a 11.7 at 122+ spinning thru 1st gear my last run. And I pedaled a 11.80 at 122.99 mph on my Hankook's with a 2.01 60 ft. Car was running strong though with my slowest trap of the night at 121.46 mph. I know there's a 11.50 in it with those traps...
Had fun and it was great seeing everyone! Thanks for letting me borrow the DR's Shardul!

Some strong runners in the Texas stable. It is extremely fun launching and going sideways all through first and still ripping 11's.
Why was the traction so bad homeys, did they not prep the track very well?

Plus all street cars and p/u trucks running... not laying down rubber. They run EVERYTHING on Fri Nights.
Nothing like watching a clean amg roll up next to an open exhaust trailered car and beat it.

It's funny because aghakauve was able to hook pretty well on the same DR's with a 1.79 60ft. Two of my runs including the DR's on one I run blew the tires off so hard it shifted into second instantly and down shifted back into first and went to run a 12 something...still at 121+ lol.

Loco sounds like you need to get another benz 1st broh, or perhaps change your screen name, you seem to be the only source of trash talk on this thread from what I can read. (with all due respect sir)

To my knowledge 2 of 3 cars that ran have already posted slips...and they are both stock pulley/tune only.

My mission was to have fun... and I did. Crappy 60 ft's, but I'm actually really happy with my trap speeds. Car seems to be making decent power with a small pulley, H/E and tune only.
