What do u do when you get there? They check u in and such? When you are in line for test driving the cars, do they have an "monitor" with you and do they check u'r license everytime u test drive? I'm wondering if I can sneak in a test drive...hehe. I'm only 19...

my friend who is 24 will be doing all the test driving while i sit in the rear or passenger side. Funny thing is that my friend drives a civic and i drive the C-Class..:p

to get a tag to drive theres a wrist band you wear. to get the wrist band you gotta present your license to prove that your 21+ when you give them your discliaimer form (at entrance). theres a line when drivin the cars, but theres 3 diff tracks. the amg one. weather hazard course. and wavey/turney/curvey course.

the time slot is only about 2 hours...is this enough time to see everything? I'm assuming when you book your reservation, they don't book too many people in each time slot?

free stuff, eh? Keychains and such?

Only a few more weeks!

I also saw a Brabus M-Class in the parking lot:


They even had German Rice:

There wasn't a concert that I was aware of. I arrived for the first display at 9, and left sometime after noon. They had sodas (and c-spot water) and gourmet snacks throughout the day.
