Weather appears to be good to go for tomorrow...its not expected to rain til Sunday.
I think Victor is gonna run the Benz in the 7 second Street class. Should be another fun event, see you guys tomorrow!
Yeah great day overall. Those new 5.0s with a blower are beasts, I'm really impressed with them! I'm glad the Mustang camp finally brought some good competition for us. Now what am I gonna do with two 2nd place trophies? Too bad they didn't use my times from earlier in the day...I ran a 7.0 and two 6.9s. For the actual time trials I ran two 7.1s and a 7.2.
I watched your GN make some nice passes and I feel bad that I didn't come over to say hello.
No worries man... I know it was a busy day trying to keep track of who's running while worrying about your own car. There were a few guys I wanted to talk to but didn't get a chance to. I remember seeing your car run a few times and its a strong runner too!
The S65 was a hit with everyone, even the track announcer. Nothing like a 5500 lb 4 door sedan giving hell to all but the quickest Mustangs there! I'm pretty sure its all stock except a tune. Victor (my1stgn), the guy who posted the videos above, owns that Benz....well, his wife does I mean.
RB, hey, thanks. The vette runs good for an auto tranny almost stock LS3. I was thinking of doing a blower or H/C but then, if I wanna drag race the car, I would require a roll bar and I just don't want to cut up the car like that. It's good enough the way it is. The converter really helped lower my ET. I went from running 8.0 to 7.40's and my mph went from 90-91 to 95-96.Welcome aboard. It was great watching your car put down some great ET's on Saturday. Especially considering the MODS you have. Those were some very respectable numbers for a street car. It kind of funny, you and I have raced each other a couple of times over the last year. I commented to Rodney about your car while in the staging lanes on Saturday. I said I think this his licenses plate says "HP JNKY" I had to go look and sure enough it was you... I remember fast cars.
Yeah, that Benz is so badass!

I've been snooping around for a nice clean 87 GN and I almost bought one at Barrett Jackson last January. Problem for me is that I don't have room to park it and I don't want to leave another car outside. Maybe I'll win the lottery tonight and then my problem will be solved.
How often do you go to Barona?
I come out a few times a year.
I'll definate stop by and say hello next time I'm there.

It makes 400rwhp and has run 7.35 @ 96.4 at Barona.
