Redbulljnky & Chawkins head to Silver Dollar Drags-April 28

Elliot is coming up this Saturday to run his beast here in Reynolds GA at Silver Dollar. I hope the weather co-operates for his girl

We will post vids, pictures and time slips in this thread as the day progresses.

Wish my man goodluck, as he has come along way with his sled, and she is now ready to become part of the elite few that can say they have a 10 sec E55

Maybe he will let me pilot a run or two



Buckhead Imports Performance will also be taking their 600rwhp E39 M5 in search of breaking the record.

Thanks fellas! She's running strong right now and the finishing touches on the Q16 tune will be tomorrow morning. I'll post the dyno sheet as soon as we are done.
Big thanks to Craig for his advice and help!

Thanks brotha, it sucks major ***** as I have waited for this day for months. This is Elliot's time though, I am going to do all I can to propel him into the 10's. His car is at its peak right now, and to be there to help out anyway I can will be just as gratifying if he hits his mark at my home track.

Wish I could control the weather buddy. I would be happy to give you guys-2000 DA. Unfortunately MIR good weather has passed, last track day we were in the 80s too

If you don't have a portable weather station just go to dragtimes.com, tools, DA calculator, and plug in in your track info and date.

That looks good brotha. Lows that morning is 60*, by the time the track open at 10am, it should still be in the 60's. The highs in GA are typically around 3-4pm.

Tech is so simple, I will get him through quickly, ice her back down after warming up the fluids, and wait for the lanes to open.
