Oh, and M&M, be aware that APK is being a bad boy and running drag radials, even after repeated requests to remove them...but one of the E55s and the modded C32 will be running them in kind, however. Also be aware that APK isn't really much of a believer in physics.
Speaking of which: guys, please do some rolling-start runs as well, to eliminate launch from the equation!

APK, the whole purpose of this exercise is to duplicate your race!
And the race you were bragging about in the first place that got this whole ball rolling was a standing-start race, remember? So, I went to the trouble to drum up some AMGers to run you....so fine, do the rolling start runs for dessert, but the standing start is the main course!

Improviz, with all of the time that you have spent calling me a liar and finding a million different links, I really wish you could be there for all of the fun.

I wish I could be there too, but alas....it sounds like it will be a fun time for all.
Anyway, I am glad to see you are showing up. Who knows; maybe you'll surprise all of us, but my money's still on the AMGs!!

I have spoken to Benzo regarding tonight. My understanding is that the area where we are supposed to run is less than a quarter mile in length in a gated warehouse facility with minimal shut down area. Not where I want to run and its a 200 mile round trip drive from my house. I contacted APK who lives 20 miles from me and will be getting together in Palm Beach County to run.

Hmmm, yeah...the original idea was to do it at Moroso, so that we could get some actual numbers, but APK, um, flip-flopped on that one. Maybe you can talk him into it...shoot, I would think he's dying to know what numbers his M5 will turn after he's modded it!

Calling Benzo!
You need to delete some of your older PMs! I tried to PM you a moment ago, and it's informing me that you have exceeded your quota.
