Here is my first ever 1/4 mile run. Remember, I've never raced on a track before, until this. Moosejaw was kind enough to put an AZZ woopin on me. He also raped me in Mexico on the way home. So you all can blame him for my modding sickness.

Moosejaw 12.4 @116 / Redbulljnky 12.7 @ 112




AND THAT'S HOW IT BEGAN.


Now, here is my 1st. ever 10 second 1/4 mile run. This vid is from AMGRockets phone. He was such a huge help to me while I was at MIR. He even drove my car for a 10.77 run.

Listen to the stall and launch. This was my 1.49 60ft. launch. You can even hear it breaking up around the 1000ft. mark. Next time I'll make sure there's enough fuel in it.




Enjoy!

Thanks for posting vids! What were moose's mods at the time?

That video looks familiar . I watched that video on my way home that day like 10 times amazed how fast your car was just GONE. 1.49 60ft gives me something to work for now

Thanks, was this at Moroso? Sorry for all the questions- just trying to figure out what a stock vs. lightly modded E55 should be running at the track in a nearby city to me....compared to what I've run so far. I've been thinking there was something wrong with my car but the more research I do, and real track numbers I see in similar weather I think I'm on target.

Yes at Moroso

Do you have a full cage, battery kill switch, extinguisher, etc.? I'm wondering how you run 10s without getting kicked off the track. That's one fast Merc!

Love watching that launch, mad props E!

Thank you! I have a carbon race seat with a roll bracket built to the seat. It's bolted in and still very light. But "private rentals" don't ask for a roll cage.
I feel your right on track. The heat we deal with down here is redonculous. I always felt I was running to slow, but in actuality it's running good. Let me know when your ready to go to pbir.
Thank you sir!

Pretty Cool seeing the before and after.

I have that mod bug now too. I need some more seat time and a few more mods to get my et's lower. I've always had a carbureted car that I would go to the track with, and the drive by wire is a little different (the burn-out).
So now when I go back to the track I'll be working on the PB.

I liked keeping an eye on you and Craig last year with your updates when you went to the track.

Congrats on breaking the 10's! That's a hell of a beast you got there.
