...and a Mercedes-Benz wannabee club (3 cars), plus more privateers (both an older SL500 and 2003 model, a Silver '03 CLK, and a couple SLKs)
I thought the dumptruck would tip over on the banking...:o
Here's my ride...

OK, here I go againg:
I had a blast, specially at the last lap, we (MB-BOB and yodlebenz were riding with me in my car) had the car just above 120 mph at the exit of a curve!!! Wow, what a rush, righ after that we had to get hard on the brakes because everybody was exiting and had slowed down quick, they slowed down from 70 to 20 we slowed from 120+ to 20 as well. We had a new SL behind us, he was keeping up fairly good to 100 mph a couple of times (we did 100 mph 2 times and 120+ once )
I'll post some pics and video once I'm back in houston.
Weather held up on us, there were quite a few Benzes there, but we didn't have a chance to say hi to anyone else.
Here is a pic of me, I recorded all the laps, but I mnaged to wave hi to the guys taking pics

yodlebenz, please check your Private Messages (under user cp) above. I have written down your e-mail address incorrectly, and want to send you some pix I took to the right e-mail address.
Pocholin, were you going to send me some high res pics?
