Of course I remember asking for that "roll on" race. Sorry we didn't but I was ready to go once it started getting warmer. I tried to run with a passenger as I was leaving with all of my stuff in the car and they turned me around...worth trying

Thanks to everyone that came out to the track rental. It was a great day. Looking forward to the next one. Especially after I get some issues sorted out. I got the drag racing bug again

You do an awsome job at setting these up bro! I deff want to make the next one. It would be great if I could get a small west caravan heading over.

I always look forward to going to 1/4 mile racing. Good to meet new members on here and put a face to member. Everyone bands together and give advice/ support to get better times.

Thank You, Ahmad.

Yesterday was an amazing day, temperature was perfect, had great company and got to see some great people, Specially Ahmad and Jay.

Thanks Stephen for the great tips on tire pressure and pushing me out there to get some baseline runs.

Thanks Jay for walking me around the water box, Just like old times buddy.

As I mentioned before, yesterday was not about busting a 9.99 like many expected, sorry to dissapoint but the racing game doesn't go that way. Just ask a few of the OG's.

For me it was more about establishing a baseline, getting some Logs and getting her down the track in one piece. Mission Accomplished.

She still has some bugs that need to be sorted out. Need to revisit stall speed, a tad smaller turbos and fix IAT's issues as my cooling circuits may be in reverse. With a full tank of ice I did not see IATs fall below 130's at the beggining of my runs, yes some serious issues there, YET she trapped 130.

I would like to thank some close friends that made this trip possible and accompanied me in this great trip: Luis, AKA loco E55. Thanks for coming buddy! true fanatic and hard core racer right there...Sad to see you leave the 55 platform.

My little brother Joel- this guy has never taken out the EV12 at the track, and on the first run busts an 11.6..crazy ****.

My cousin Jose, who has the sickest jokes, had us cracking all the way home!

I would also like to thank Marcin @ Speedriven, (by the way he is doing all this without a cent out of my pocket. Once we get her where we want to be he will be rewarded personally by me. Bet on that.

Thank you all, and sorry to dissapoint some of you, but it's a working progress and I will be back!

EDIT**

Can't leave Mike out of this one!! His car is a freak of nature..11.6 with a few bolt ons!!!

blackbenzz

It was great to see you, Luis, Joel, and Jose. You guys came prepared! Thanks for the hot dog

We both know it isn't easy going nines. We have gone through the steps but you are well on your way bro. Some people think you just bolt on parts and will hit nines first time out It just doesn't work that way. Keep at it, the reward will be worth the effort You haven't disappointed anybody bro

To anyone that hasn't seen the EV12 Wow!!! That car is the cleanest and nicest I've ever seen. It almost looks to good to even drag race it lol. That car is going to fly when the bugs are sorted out.

Another great day set up by Ahmad!!!! Biggest thanks go to Steve for the loaner M/Ts my day would not have been the same with out you. Big congrats on your time, I didn't get to see it as we were on our way out. Also big thanks and a great opportunity to meet all the original ol' school v12 boys Clayton, Tom, Stephen, Jody and Jay. New PB 1.64 60 ft. 11.14 @ 124.49mph 2nd best run 1.74 60 ft. 11.17 @125.16mph. I was just really happy to drive it almost 6 hrs home after a day like this. For those who were wondering, the car weighed in at 4650 lb with me(170) no spare, and a near empty tank.

V12Godspeed

Likewise, Thanks Bro! Saw the CLK trap 130, and my jaws dropped.
it's indicative of all the hardwork you've put into the platform. Just amazing.

I feel bad I did not have a chance to meet you personally but I saw your car run and the times were amazing! Next time I will stop by and introduce myself.

It was great to meet you bro! Your car is an animal right out the bat. Seeing your car brings back so many memories of my old 65. Amazing cars.

RedBullJnky

Congrats to every one! I would love to be a part of these track days one of these times.

Yesterday was a great day!! So nice to catch up with everyone. It really is an amazing group of guys from this forum that head out to these events!

Jody, your car is beautiful bro. And it is definitely making crazy power. It will be a force to be reckoned with when she is fully dialed in. Sorry, we didn't get to put faces with the names this time around.

Ahmad, I know you have had a long year and half but it is all coming around for you again. Glad to see you back enjoying what you love brotha! Get those axles and find someone to make you headers and it will be game over. Thanks again for another great event.

V12Godspeed

Charlie! Dude we were about to pull over when we left to at least say hello... I saw your CTS V rolling down the highway and we were heading on the trailer... Luis said "isnt that Charlie??" I was like " let's slow down and say hello! " but traffic did not let it happen. Next time for sure man. Couldn't say hello to lots of people, next time will make priority.

By the way your CTS looks so tight man. Makes me want to get one.

This thread just reminds me of the nostalgia of Thursday nights at Westbury...That needs to be resurrected.

What's the best way to clean off the rubber and VHT without scratching the clear?

Stephen04E55

Micro fiber towel with liberal amounts of any brand "trigger wash". Then I use a clearcoat safe "car cleaner/wax" like Meguiars or Zymol. Your microfiber will be ruined so use one that you plan to throw away. Rubber smears and the VHT residue is very nasty so be patient.

Thanks Stephen, I owe thanks to my 2 burnout coaches Tom and Jay.

WD-40 will work wonders. I have buy it in the 5 gallon drum!

I would love to get to see your BEAST someday!

chawkins2001

I used WD40 with great results too.

Although I was not there, Steve had me as giddy as a high school girl with all the updates and 10 second passes everyone was making.

Thanks. Your car was doing great. Launch it harder and you might just crack tens. Thats a heavy car to get in the tens too. My car is about 1000lbs lighter than yours!
haha thanks. It trapped 130 even though it was misfiring, no launch, and no ice so I'm excited to see how it does when everything is right. Maybe I will still be able to see your tail lights down the track lol. Your LP640 daily was sick bro
If you are ever in town you should definitely drop by!
Thanks bro! Congrats on those tens, thats a major achivement. Dont forget to let me know when that gold fish dies

RaceHorse

Thanks Bruce, I need to make a trip down someday from upstate and introduce myself. I work in the city and its usually a mad race to get out early in the day before the traffic. One day... or maybe an Atco rental who knows.

dodger63

All that trouble you gave me last year and you live close to me. "Westbury"

emoving

No kidding! That flight would have been alot cheaper then we thought!
