I may be. Touch and go. I know raj is for definite. Problem is its so busy you don't get as many runs on the strip as you could.

I was there. Queues were just nuts and only managed 4 runs so not great. Also the surface had no traction so I was just spinning in 1st/2nd/3rd. One guy actually binned it when he spun heading up the strip. Was quite a bit of damage.

Nice pic.

I was in my 335i. I'm running 430bhp and struggled to get the power down in the first three gears. My terminal was 111 mph but still only managed 13.3.

Last year I was into the 12's no problem.

A few of the guys I know running meth etc were the same and couldn't break into the 12's like previous.
