How Do I Post A New Thread?
Good Morning,
Sorry to butt into your thread. I'm new at this cocktail party.I have a question about an old e320 wagon I bought recently, but I don't know how to post it. Is there a section for different MBs? How do I post questions?
Thanks,
Daryl

Holy Sh*t! You can't buy beer at a convenient store in Maryland. What's so convenient about that? Atleast there's a track here. Lol

He's getting ready for his 2nd pass. We cooled it off good so it should be ready to go. They are prepping to the 330ft mark for a ZR1 to try and break the record so Elliot will be 3rd in line behind him so the prep will be perfect. Hopefully he will lower the record this pass.

Still a strong run. You have time to get it all sorted out.
How are his 1/8th mile numbers looking?

Here's the first slip. We are trying to figure out what's going on. The car is dying at the end of the track.

Even more impressive is it was done with stock wheels up front. Skinnies would of knocked a few more hundredths off that I'm sure. Hopefully it will make a full run before the day is over.
