Aww, no pictures of smoking tires?
 This was a lot of fun. I hope we can do it again, and maybe get a bigger turnout. I think the high point of the day was one of the first (if not the first time) an MB ran, the announcer made a crack like "Wow, I guess some people will try to race anything. I think that was the Renntech modified E55? I never caught his exact times, but it must've been mid-12s or lower. After that, there were no more jokes about the MBs. Seeing a stock E55 do 12.7 sure gave me the upgrade-itch.

An E55 against a BMW Z4 ? That was a waste of gas. The Z8 would hav =e been a better challenger and would have looked somewhat better trying it, but still not any competition against the E55. What a car. This will be an interesting event when the CL65 comes out.

No match with the Z4, of course. But they are friends and we all went for a good time
