Default Day at drags

I headed out to Speed World March 31, 2006. There was a club event of exotic cars running a day at the drags. I was bummed with having a brutal head wind blowing right down the strip and mid day temperatures, but all in all it was car for car and tons of fun. Here are a few of the cars that were there with approximate times for the day. Everyone was up several tenths from the pervious drag day. Conditions were strong head wind, 1250 ft, 30.05 pressure, about 30% humidity and track was about 80F mid day.

SL600 RENNTech plus exhaust and drag radials, 675HP/910TQ, low to mid 11s
SL65 AMG RENNTech on drag radials, 705HP/980TQ, low to mid 11s
Other AMG modified and stock cars, low 12s to low 13s
Evolution Motorsports Porsche 996tt GT800, drive line malfunction
Several other modified Porsche 996TTs, high 11s to high 12s
Modified Corvette Z06s, mid 12s to low 13s

and some others.
Here's my favorite picture of me at the staging lines with the Twin turbo Viper.


I didn't want to launch hard, but with a good pass, 1000 to 1500 rpm starts I was around 11.1xx @125 ish with 1.7 ish 60fts.
