Guys - Listen UP - for those of you sitting on the fence - Listen up good!

If you love tossing your car around and ripping through turns, the AMG challenges are the cheapest form of "racing" that you will ever do - believe me - if you do SCCA, solo, track days, driver schools, and especially if you have your own race car, you will be spending way more that $1,195 for a day of total fun

I have attened seven of these days at various tracks around the country and I will tell you one thing for sure.

They are a TOTAL BLAST - SIGN UP - SIGN UP - SIGN UP - you get the idea

Coolest thing about the AMG challeng is this....

For each and every challenge you do (this applied to 2006 - not sure yet about 2007) they give you a certificate for the full registration amount - to be used as a discount on the purchase of a new MB vehicle (only a few models excluded). Certificates are valid for 6 months from the date of the event.

Last yeat I did 2 x regular AMG challenges and 2 x Graduate challenges, total cost to me was around $5,500 for the most amazing fun you could ever have.

And then this year I bought my wife a CLS and after negotitating the best possible price, I pulled out 4 certificates and got another $5,500 discount on top of what I had already been offered ... [B]can you say BONUS!!![/B]

thanks Rob (Rob Allan) - best damn fun for my money and then a discount on a new MB on top of that - now thats what a call a two-for!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Folks at the AMG Challenge have not yet decided if they will reapeat this offer for 2007. Voice your opinion as they monitor public forums such as these.

No - in 2006 when you signed up and paid for the AMG Challenge events, MB gave you the full amount as a discount on the purchase of your next MB vehicle (some limitaions) - offer was valid for 6 months after each event.

Really cool - definitely helped me make the decision to purchase the MB for wifey. Really nice deal - hope they repeat it this year!
