That stinks geokr1... maybe next weekend???
We're planning on renting out the track for an event, up to 10 cars can go. Not sure what weekend but we're all getting excited. Should be my 545, a 335, which btw did 13.3 on Wednesday, 2 E55's, the Dually a 350Z and not sure who else.
Will have video and pics. Going to use Znod's pointers.

My 530D did 1/4 mile in 15.2 @ 100.5 mph 
Impressive & interesting indeed! Hum, Wondering aloud what my Dinan tuned 5 could do on a perfect 'launch' by some of you experts. Well, being a strict novice here (never tracked her thus far) , I'd be very lucky to pull anything close to decent even if I tried I think - well, perhaps just a lot of smoking tires, if that!!
at any rate, have fun all! BEST REGARDS!
