ElevenPointFive: BMW 135i 1/4 Mile Racing Video

ElevenPointFive compiles footage of a number of my 1/4 mile passes at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario, Canada. The introduction of the video represents the manufactuers and supporters that have made my success at the track possible while contributing to the endless amounts of fun that I have had with this incredible car.

The car is the 3rd quickest and fastest recorded non-nitrous N54 powered BMW on the planet. It has also recorded the quickest and fastest N54 1/4 mile traps and times on any track other than Sacremento Raceway.

I hope you enjoy the video.

once again, congrats on the run bro...amazing! can't afford to miss that 1-2 shift anymore...6MT is a total b*tch to nail right at the 1/4...really envy you 6AT guys having such an easy time there

when i swapped cars with Kev, his 335xi auto is sooooo easy to launch...hit the brake and let it go at 2500 rpm, instant 100% repeatable 1.7 60'...

Ya, there is no doubt the AT is a game changer on the track, its not a silver bullet but it really guarentees consistency. I can't imagine what its like launching a 6AT xi, must be nuts.

Your car runs awesome and it was great to see it hit 11s. I am really looking forward to seeing it with the RBs in!

Great day bro, thanks for the help and feedback as always!

Music certainly is a thing of preference, each to his/her own I guess. I liked the song for its build up for the "tribute" component of the video. Ohh well, next vid I will mix it up a bit perhaps for some broader appeal.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it!

Thanks man! I grew up listening to industrial alternative (Skinny Puppy, Front 242, etc) and am a big fan of hardcore bands.

Thanks for the feedback

The Procede car is anything but weak, it traps 119-120mph consistently and its a Sedan with a 250 pound weight disadvantage to me. The car is a monster. He is also a manual tranny so it a heck of a lot hard to launch that sucker. His car ran a 11.9 @ 119mph that day. In the race it looked alot worse than it was, read the slip in the video, the race was lost on the 60'.

I also saw autotuning function well. He dropped in race gas and for the first couple of passes he trapped 115 mph, when autoturned "learned" he began trapping 119mph. Pretty awesome.

As an interesting note, the left lane on that track also traps 2mph slower than the right lane and about 3mph slower than the vbox. If I was in the right lane for this run I would have trapped 121-122mph in line with my other runs.

FYI, vbox test has not been executed, I though it was. Testing will occur to qualify this Cayuga Dragway urban legend. At any rate, the left lane seems cursed as I am always trapping 2mph slower in it. Perhaps crappier track prep.

and what would be relevant? red light to red light times, how fast you can go from one suburb to another or merge onto the highway?
