My camera died on the first run. That's my daughters camera and they didn't know how to focus it.

And yes it did.

What was the time and speed on the second video, kinda hard to tell since it is blurry? 11.59@118? The weather is still fairly warm down there too isn't it? Good ole south Florida

For sure, with that 185mm pulley, warmer weather is no good. Once he gets that split cooling and that tank loaded with some ice it is going to definitely help at the track.

Dude you ran strong on those 20's. If you had stockers on you would have definately been in the 11's.

I am proud of you Elliot. You and the FL boys interested in coming up to Silver Dollar on April 28:

http://www.musclecar-evolution.com/

You are more than welcome to bring the fam and kids too. It is a huge open track with tons of room to grill out, ride their bikes etc on the side. Basically football size fields next to the track. FL and the GA boys should be able to get it done, as that is typically 50-60* morning weather at that time of the year.

We are bringing down a cooker, and I will be running the E55 on ethanol by then, so you will be more than welcome to take it down the strip. I hope to break into the 10's that day

Thumbs up

Sounds like a great time, and you are making impressive progress!
Those Hoosiers would probably like a little more heat. Try that next time and see if you can come out a little harder.

Thanks mang!

The Hoosiers are gone. I burned them up in the music video my car was in. Those were the ET Streets. And the only reason for the short burn out was the heat. The rest of my colling is almost done. We were just trying to see the before and after with the trunk res. Next track day will be with all cooling done.
