Likewise. Your E55 is the poster car for "attention to detail". Now I have some new appearance mods I want to add to my car. The CL you mentioned belongs to TJ. This was only his second time to the track so he will only improve.

I should have thanked everyone as well in my first post, shame on me.
So...Thanks to Mike for setting up the rental, and to Mike, Hagi, and Bruce for helping me out in the pits. Another big Thank You to Bruce for help prepping the car and trailering her down with me.
TTM, OETuning, MBH headers all deserve to be mentioned for providing proven performance parts and outstanding customer service! Thank You.


With that said, thanks to everyone for the kind words and props. There will be no trips to MIR for me. Last year was a blast and I'm sure it will be even better this year. Good luck to all who are attending! I'll be tuned in to read the updates/results.

Big congrats to every one! And just so that it's known there is a CL55 down here that ran 10.6. He is a good friend of mine and "yes" it's on spray. But his company thrives on racing and he does his own tunes. He runs on shorty headers and 172 pulley, 5 gal trunk tank and 30 shot out the hole and 100 shot down the stretch. He is at the track every chance he gets.

BK - Your car is running real consistant AND FAST. You and TTM have a phenomenal combination. (basically all bolt-on's, and un-openend motor)

Awesome!

Nice thing about BK's car to is, from the exterior it looks stock but low and behold, there is a monster waiting to pounce.

Thanks guys. I don't have any video from this, even if I did it would probably be quite boring anyway, but I have some from a tnt last month against a built Camaro that I will upload tonight.

Tnt are a lot of fun with these machines. We had three E55 running that night, all driven there in street trim. There were many strange looks while mounting up the drag radials.
