Nice, we've got one set up at the end of the month also. What is with the last week of October?? Mmm cool weather.

Awesome list of cars, but several of the quickest or fastest cars are not actually the quickest. That CLS63 did not pull a 1.4 60' - no one believes that. It was either a timing light error, or most likely he staged with the rear tires, hence his mph being so much lower than his other runs. Definitely an awesome car though. BTW, I've had several fast Mercedes E55, E63, CL600, SL600, and a CL65. I drag raced them all.

Which ones are you referring to as not being the quickest/fastest?

- bassn_07 holds the quickest/fastest E55 non NOS in the country: 11.045 @ 131 mph

- URnext holds the quickest/fastest SL55 non NOS in the country with 11.2x @ 126 mph

- The Challenger (supercharged) holds the quickest/fastest record as well: 10.18 @ 136 mph

- sticky so far still has the quickest/fastest NA E92 M3 in the west coast with 12.19 @ 115.x mph

- The Jeep is listed as the fastest (not quickest) because so far it is.

- Mike's car is also the quickest/fastest C55 with 11.8x @ 118 mph, his car is supercharged with an OEM supercharger from E55.

- Last time, Terry broke both records for the quickest/fastest 335 and 135 during both events. Although these records have been broken again now, he still did achieve them last time.

Regarding the two CLSs on the list.... these are two different cars my friend. Rick's CLS63 (silver) is the quickest/fastest and probably most powerful CLS in the country. He is pushing 722 hp with 100 shot of NOS and that is without his latest upgrades. At Fontana (in July), he ran 11.8s @ 123 mph in 100 F and 4000 ft DA. This is expected to correct down to 11.5 @ 126 or even 127 mph. This time out, the DA will be closer to 700 ft, and temps will be 50 degrees lower.

Juicee's CLS63 is the one in question. He backed it up with 1.59 and 1.65 that day. The person that ran next to him during the 1.47 recorded a normal 60' foot and you can see in the video that Juicee's car jumped on the other car hard. It maybe an error and maybe not. This is a different track than Sacramento, so we'll see what happens this time out.

oh wow, definitely interested depending on price.

From the looks of it, price will likely be a little less than $200..... but please remember that this is a private event and availability will be limited. This means you can make as many runs as you like with almost no waiting at the lines at all. This is also a good opportunity to practice launch technique, shifts, etc.... Hope to see you there

Off topic: but in one of the pictures it says "mcfarlanE, ca" it's actually McFarland. i do a lot of vineyard management around famoso so i know the area plus i live in Delano 15 mins from the track haha.

Not that I really care that much. I was mainly talking about Terry's time, but...

- You listed URNext as having the quickest/fastest SL - there is at least one SL65 in the 10's.

- Terry is not the quickest 135i any more

- Juice got his car back from repossesion? There is a huge difference between a 1.47 and a 1.59 60' time. I don't doubt the 1.59 - that is believeable, the 1.47 is not. He jumped the other car that ran because it only ran 13's. There have been many discussions about timing errors from the smoke still lingering causing the timing to not start when it should.



Besides all that, you have a great turnout of awesome cars. I wish I lived somewhere that had a group of nice cars to run at the track. There are no cool Euro cars around here that run at the drag strip.

[Mike@N54Tuning.com]

Terry has tuned the quickest/fastest 135i and quickest 335i. Doesn't that count for anything?

You're right. We'll keep it like that.

Sorry, I thought I listed the SL as the Quickest/Fastest SL55 in the country. I fixed it. He may be in the high 10s soon

I'm trying to get hotrod182 to join us.... is he still the Quickest/Fastest 335 in the country?

Not exactly the fastest. We got 124.55 trap speeds here Wish Famosa was closer.

You should join us and tune your car on the spot. This is a private rental, so you'll be able to make as many runs as you can with almost no wait time at all. Last time, we had Terry, Powerchip, and an LX tuner (sorry forgot their name) who tuned their respective cars on the spot. They would make one run, then tune the car, then another run, then tune the car, etc.... until the cars are dialed in perfectly on the track with real world conditions and variables. Plus, a 3.5 hour drive for one full day of racing in good cold weather at a decent track is worth it, isn't it?

Wish Sacramento was closer! It would be great to see how your traps compare at Fontana too. Going to Sac is a 400 mile drive for me, but from the Bay Area to Famoso is probably only about 250 miles or so.

Hey Mo, thanks for the invite. Just don't know about my scheduling for sure, since the baby is due on the 11th of November, might be kind of hard to get out to the track so soon, LOL.

If I do, I will be doing some methanol testing, should help my MPH some I believe. Those Mercs are flying. I was there during the 100F Fontana track day. My car was not loving the 170F IATs at all. Since the new DME update, I have been struggling to get back my MPH. If all else fails, I will start running my black 335i sedan.

[TMR]

Well im in. I have full stage 3 with LSD.

[easy2speed]

Wish I could come. I would easily run 11's with a DA less than 1500.
