Wish I was closer. They had one in Miami a few years ago but I can't seem to find any new events.
If any one goes, please make sure to report back here how they did.

So you are going? If so, look for #55. Sweet to have another CLS there. Looking to beat a local CTS-V driver that will be there. He pulled a 183 last year. CTS-V owner's son is in my son's class. Going to pull all cards on this one........

I will be #3423. It should be a good time. I will be looking for you.
How did your brakes hold up?
About that fire extinguisher, I heard all you have to do put it in the passenger seat and buckle it up.

Spectator last year. I was told after 4+ runs our rotors are shot.

Well, sh*t. Bloke has the 21st Century Muscle Car 850hp package. Don't think I'm going to hit 193 mph (not 183). Jerry @ Eurocharged is making sure I can get as close as possible, though. meh....
