11.78 at Gainesville Raceway
Took 3 runs today at Gainesville Raceway. First one was the best after waiting nearly an hour for tech inspection and then to change out the rear tires.
Run One
11.78 at 118.26 mph with a 1.77 60' time. Beat an 02 Cobra spraying nitrous who ran a 11.97. He couldn't get to me fast enough after the race to see what I had in that Mercedes.
Run Two
11.85 at 118.03 mph with a 1.805 60' time.
Run Three
11.84 at 117.27 mph with a 1.785 60' time.
Car has Kleemann Stage 2 with LSD and BF drag radials on the rear. Weather was low humidity (I think) and somewhere in the 60's. All launches are in dyno mode after 5 second burnout.

Great times Derek!!!
What does dyno mode do at the track again?
Thanks for the info and one last time....what is the secret to getting it into dyno. There are a lot of wrong ways on the forum.
Thanks again

Awesome time, Derek! I am hoping that I can dip under the 12.0 mark stock with some good air in the next couple of weeks when Englishtown reopens.
And thanks for the Dyno mode recipe. As best as I can remember, your post was the first one to say that you need to have the display showing vehicle speed before hitting the odometer reset three times. I will see if that does it. Thus far, I have had no luck with finding dyno mode on my car.

D,
I think you own the best W211 1/4 mile times out there. Have you seen any other modified cars that are running similar/better times? Looking for facts/time slips.
Keep on rockin and I look forward to your next trip to the track.

nice run
when you say you beat an 02 mustang... make sure you know what year it was before you brag about it though... beating an 01 with n20 is nothing special... beating an 03 with n20 is 1-bad driving on his part 2-one hell of an accomplishment!
either way, before posting your "kill" just make sure you know the details because it is the world of difference...
not trying to start a war by any means....
congrats on the run, thats sick for a family ride, I sure as hell cant wait to get one when the time is right
Congrats again

Beating ANY car that runs sub-12 in a 4 door 4100lb family sedan is worth bragging about regardless of make and model.
who cares what year it is...

Congrats on the run- 2 Items:
#1 - Based on the trap speeds of the 2 cars, you were definately pulling away
(harder) then the rustang.
#2 - Can't wait to see the effects of additional cooling??
Other members please throw in your input- but with an 11.78 time
you should EASILY be clocking 123-124 trap speed
That simply tells me that at the end of the 1/4 mile, the heat is
beginning to have it's effect on the motor holding the HP output.

This was the portion of the message that I did not understand. How did you come to this conclusion? Not pointing any fingers---just trying to learn.
