Nice runs! Your car was looking really fast out there. Was a great event. I ended up going both days to watch.

I made 3 runs at 149.6-149.8mph and the rolling start was 146 I think. Just couldn't get that 150 number. My front brakes had enough after that and I didn't want to end up like the few unfortunate ones that couldn't stop a little cold for me ( good for hp) but overall a good time.

Not sure on that one specifically, but most of the e55's I saw were getting between 140-150mph.

That was jcart (spelling?) I guess his 1000hp clk threw a belt and damaged the hood. That's why he "only" brought the c63 black that is supercharged as well.

Did anyone see the blue evo spin at the end of the 1/2 mile event? I guess he drove it home after mowing the grass over 180mph. Jalopnik did a story on it.

Ps. He was very lucky it diddnt roll. It could of been real bad.

Awesome! looking forward to seeing that monster tear it up.

On a side note thanks again for all your help on the tune for my car! Not sure if the tune is updated from before or adaptations reset, but almost feels faster.

I'm not going to do the 1/2 this year only because I don't have any new mods. Espically the front brakes. S600 front brakes suck, even with good pads and stopping from 150 I have my fingers crossed they don't fade. I'm still going to go and watch though.
