As I posted in your other thread......
I live in west GA so you caught my attention. Have you ever been here before? What kind of track is it? What is the atmosphere/people like?

05 C55 AMG
Is it a 1/4 mile or 1/8th. I looked on their website but didn't see it anywhere.
Viper, have you been down the track with your C55? I went out to Reynolds a few months back for the first time and had a blast. Id like to try and go back with some other AMGs.

i have never been to this track. from the folks i spoke with at the track they seem extremely friendly and accomodating. they will be willing to setup grudge races or friends that want to run each other.
this is a 1/4 mile track. its listed in the dragtimes website and they have a website. gadsden is just a few miles away, ill be staying there so i dont have to drive home late at nite. sun is also a test and tune day.
i was told it does get a bit crowded fri nites. im hoping with the latter part of oct it may not be so crowded and hopefully cooler weather will bring big hp numbers!!!
it would be great to see a bigger turnout of amg's than crossfires!! im looking to have fun no matter what

If there are some other MB/AMG's there I'll consider going. thegreatfnr, let me know because you'd be going on I-20 and I live on it going west. I also have a buddy with a 500E who might consider going, but he's currently doing maintenance on his car. I just recently bought my C55, so I haven't taken it to a track yet nor an autocross, but I think there's an SCCA autocross coming up in October in Atl.
I have been to Atlanta Dragway in Commerce before in a different car. I've had the experience of going at the beginning of the season when it's packed because people are trying out new mods. Then at the end of the season when its packed because people are trying to get a few more runs before the winter. Then also at the end of a different season when its a little quieter and got a lot of runs in quickly. So I duno, it's hit or miss.
Obviously, it would be great to go when it's not packed. I hated waiting in lines for 1.5 hrs waiting for a single run. And then botching the launch and getting a horrible time. I noticed they have TnT on Sunday afternoons too, where it might be less crowded. But, we'd be out in the heat too instead of the cooler night.

So 320 you are going for sure on that Friday?
I'm still debating whether to go on a Friday or Sunday. If we (or I) go on a Friday night, there should be more crowds, less runs, etc. But with theoretically cooler temperatures, better times.
Go Sunday afternoon in the heat, and should have less crowds, more runs, but its a little more expensive (10 vs 20, big deal honestly). I hated waiting 1.5+ hrs in line when its crowded. Lets the car cool down too much and personally gets a little aggrevating. At the same time, if we get bad times then we can blame it on the heat and that our cars are actually much faster. If we get great times, then we can brag about how awesome our cars really are and should've pulled even faster times!
Just thinking out loud thats all. Still haven't decided what to do; there's plenty of time between now and then anyway.
