y cant we do cali speedway in the evening on a weekday, half day?
cost 3000$ (im assuming) if we get 30 people thats only $100 a car

btw, im no down w/ 1/8 mile

EpicAMG

Let's do the 14th at California Speedway. If you guys are down, please just reply so we can start a list of who we have. Count me in!

Let's open it up to other MB's as well. We should get some E55's &SL's too.

Is there anyway we can pre-register or do a group buy?

dragonAMG

I'm definitely in if we rent the track. We can definitely do a pre-register. I can throw together a quick secure pre-registration webpage.

Another option might be Las Vegas. I can probably get this track for around 5k. Not to mention I can get everyone like $50 casino hotel room rates.

EpicAMG

The only 1/4 that I believe we can rent (that has weekends available and is in LA/OC/SD) is LACR. Everything else is 1/8 mile besides Cali Speedway that isn't available on weekends. Is anyone open to LACR?

I am still going to go to the 14th, anyone else down? Can we get some BMW and Audi's?

AMG_55

im down 4 LACR, if u go to a track on a weekend, u might only get 5 or 6 runs in b4 they close, there r really that many cars (at least at LACR)

im down to rent any 1/4 track in so cal.

EpicAMG

I hate to be lame, but I am incredibly swamped at work and really don't have the time to put this together right now. Can anyone else make this happen, call LACR to rent the track? I will show up for sure and I will help where ever I can.

dragonAMG

I am willing to organize a track day in Vegas.

Not lame at all. Seems like EVERYONE comes up with ideas over their winter vacations on what could be done to make things better at work. Not like we don't have a million things to do already. Last 2 weeks were dead but the next 2 weeks are going to be hell....around here anyway.

I think the LA guys would be willing to make the trip to LACR. However, San Diego turnout is going to be spotty at best. Vegas would be dope but same thing with attendance there. Only if California Speedway would do weekends. Another option is Friday nights....

TopGun32

remember that not only MB members are going to show up, everybody else and their "mother" will be there on Jan 14th.

We will be lucky if we have 3 runs and we will probably have to wait 1 hour or more per run...

I would be down for a week day afternoon runs.. I can do $100 for my registration.

EpicAMG

DragonAMG: That would be great...if LV was 3 hours closer to SoCal...for me at least.

sdsilverm3: You hit the nail on the head...winter vacation was a great time to try and put something together. Now it is hell...for me.

Cali Speedway does do weekends, they just don't have any openings until November.

Is the 14th is dead??? I will go if we can muster up some people and actually get some Bimmers and Audis as well. I think there are a few M3's, a few S4s, an M5, an E55, an S8 that are interested. We just need to confirm a go or no go.

I will go to LACR if someone puts it together, I will go to Cali Speedway on an afternoon or a Friday night if someone puts it together. I will help where/when I can.

Can anyone pick up the ball?

AMG_55

u r right, the wait is .

im down for a weekday afternoon or fri. night

dragonAMG

I'm in if you guys rent the track in CA.

EpicAMG

Okay, okay ..I will call Cali Speedway again tomorrow to see if they have a Friday afternoon/night open that we can rent. DragonAMG, would you still put up a website to pre-register and help organize if we do this?

I am also interested to see if any S or M guys will bring anything out to challenge AMG. DragonAMG is pretty fast. Is there anyone else we can bring that is heavily modified?

Let's kill the 14th, you guys have convinced me not to get up at the butt crack of dawn to wait in line either.

dragonAMG

Absolutely, I will definitely put together a pre-reg webpage. My friend with a Kleemann chipped CL65 AMG will probably be down to go. He's also got an 8-second Supra. LOL.

EpicAMG

Great! I will keep you posted on what the track says tomorrow.

EpicAMG

Surprise, surprise. Their office is closed until next Monday. Stay tuned until then.

Just hit LACR on Grudge Night

EpicAMG

The consensus was to rent out a track so we could have more runs and not wait in line. We are shooting for a Friday night at California Speedway.

TopGun32

yup.. i rather pay $100 and have a few more runs and not wait so much in line.

I got my pulleys installed, so I really want to see what trap speed and ETA I can do.

stock I should be around 13.4 to 13.6, with the pulleys maybe i'll be 13.2 or 13.3 with the trap speed 1 to 2 miles higher.

AMG_55

not at LACR.... maybe high 13s low 14s... thats what i run

TopGun32

fontana...

in Palmdale elevation is kills your time and plus all that wind.

EpicAMG

I will give the track a call tomorrow and see what is available for a Friday night. I will keep you guys posted. Sorry for the delay, I have been swamped at work.

pshek

I'm probably going to Cali Speedway on the 14th. Hopefully I can get a baseline dyno tomorrow at the shop and get 0-60 times on a timeslip at the dragstrip on Saturday. I want to know what my current engine's HP is at before my car goes "under the knife." Anybody else going? See ya!

PS. I'm also going to the LA Autoshow this weekend because I scored some free passes. Fun

r3v1ls

Well 1/4 mile wouldn't be interesting for those cars. The c55 would win, then the M3, and then the S4. Now on a course it would be a lot more interesting. The S4 would probably win cause of the quattro, but it would be pretty interesting between the M3 and c55.

AMG_55

ill smoke any stock m3 or s4 on any roadcourse w/ any driver (kimi, shumacher, alonso.....) :p
seriously
