First Time at the Track

Hello everyone. Sorry if I am breaking any rule by posting this here, but I am new to the site and to the Benz world, and today was my first time at the drag strip @fayetteville racing park, Fayetteville, NC.

My car is an E55 AMG, '03 with 138,000 miles (I know, its a lot -___-); but anyways, I think the car did a good job under the not-so-favorable circumstances.

The weather was 75, and I was running on 285/30/18 radial tires.

The times were pretty constant, running 1.8x to the 60ft, and 12.42- 12.46 the 1/4 mile.

I would love to hear your opinion about it, all of them will be highly appreciated.

Nicely done on your first time out! Getting your 60's down a bit will help drop the time a lot. It all comes with more practice, so get out there and practice!
