Houston Track Night 01/13/2012
If anyone is interested in going to the track this friday here are the details
http://www.royalpurpleraceway.com/sc...th=1&year=2012
The weather seems to be optimal for some good 1/4 mile times.
I have some BFG 18" DRs if anyone wants to use them. They will have to be mounted on some rims. I cut a 1.71 60ft with these tires last year. I am hoping a couple of 55k will use these.
Lets get a list started of who all is going. If anyone is driving from the southwest area maybe we can pick a spot to meet up and then drive down.

I'll be drag racing down a mountain. Which sucks bc it's a perfect time to bring out the beast. 
Hopefully there will be a trackday after I get the LSD installed.

Wonder if there's a tune only/stock pump/h/e/pulley baseline for the E55?

I am going to try and make it - I'll just have to meet you guys there as I would be coming from Kingwood. I am going to hit my neighbor up as well - he has a M6 with exhaust and a tune and we havent had a chance to race yet...
I wish I had some wheels to mount up those DR's. I would love to click off a 11.50-11.60ish with a good 60'...

Yeah Chris and I are planning to head out around 6/6:30ish. Should be there around 7/7:30ish. I'm hitting my M6 neighbor up as well...he keeps talking smack about "I'm not worried about any AMG beating my M6". He has exhaust and a tune and its a convertable. I also sent a note to James (theotherdodge) to see if can bring his E55 or his turbo Dakota out...

Just FYI to all that are coming - BRING A HELMET. The first time I ran tech didnt seem to care about a helmet (wore one anyways). But the second time I ran it was required by tech due to the sunroof and sub 12 second times. I'll have my helmet if someone wants to borrow it, but bring one if you have it.

Shardul - I'm a nogo.. with my mAS voltage above 5 volts... I'm pegging, so too risky. Larger MAS in the works, until then I'll just dream about quick times and high trap speed.
Hope you guys have fun.
