Hey fellas

I went with the MB Autowerks 'gang' to the strip this past Saturday. I had never been to the track before.

I ran only one run with traction control off...13.439 @ 105.79. The two other runs I tried were with traction control on. I should mention this is on a stock CLK55 on 93 pump octane, 35 psi tires, 1/2+ tank of fuel, and a full trunk (spare, tools, etc.).

My full slip reads:

R/T: .803
60: 2.131
330: 5.770
1/8: 8.745
MPH: 82.57
1000: 11.297
1/4: 13.439
MPH: 105.79

I ran on stock tires (Michelin Pilot Sports).

Temp was 70 deg, overcast and very humid (80%+)

My question is what tricks can I use to lower times and what is the absolute BEST time to shoot for/expect using those tricks?
