The AMG Experience - Preliminary
Fellow AMG Owners,
The below list are some of the preliminary events, that Brian and I are working on this year, for The AMG Experience at Euromotorcars of Bethesda.
This is just preliminary list for right now, as we haven't received the formal blessing of the managment staff. As you can see from the list, we are planning one event every month.
AMG Events for 2011
1) March- Tech session on the new 5.5 Liter Bi-Turbo Engine.
This session will highlight the technical specifications for the engine and review the stop and start functionality of the new motors.
2) April - AMG Spring Event/Get together. Discuss the timelines for new product introductions and what is new for 2011 and beyond.
3) May - CLS 63 AMG Introduction
4) June - (DIY) Do it yourself tech event with technician discussing things that an owner can do himself. Overview of AMG specific servicing requirements and care.
5) July - SLS Roadster Introduction and overview of vehicle
6) August - C63 Coupe and sedan Introduction and overview of vehicle
7) September - Drag Day Sponsor at drag strip for AMG members.
8) October - Track Day for AMG club members/ AMG driving instructors tech overview of track based features
9) November- German Touring car championship day - discuss AMG’s involvement in racing and an overview of the SLS and C63 racing cars.
10) December - F1 year ending event to go over the F1 season.
I like what we have captured so far. So tell me what you think of our schedule?
Granted some of these events might drop off, so keep that in mind

For those of you that know me, they will tell you that I'm very passionate about AMG. Fella's, I'm working very hard at making this years events memorable. I just recieved a call from Brian at Euromotorcars. He had a meeting with Management today, they are really receptive to all the events that we're planning, except for drag racing. Theirs liability issue and insurance, etc. So we will probably change it to an autocross at Summit Point Raceway. 
No guarantees.... We have to figure out the cost for each of these events, and provide that to Management for approval. I'm working on getting my friend Steve, who happens to be the Training Manager for AMG North America to attend our first event in March, so that he can present the tech session on the M157 5.5 Bi-Turbo engine.

Many of you have shown interest in the AMG Events that we are trying to schedule for this year. Many want to know that dates, well the dates haven't been established yet, as we haven't provided Euromotorcars Management with cost data. They want pricing first, so that they can say yah or nah. When, we have dates, I'll send an email out to the people on my distribution list, if your not on it, then you'll not get it. I would publish it in the forum, but we don't want 100 people showing up uninvited, that we weren't prepared for. I talked to Brian about door prizes and raffles, he's onboard with that. The last time we had people off the street show up, and that was fine, but as we make more progress on this, I will re-engage my thought process to open it up or not. I'll have to get Brian's view on this. As far as filming video, I have a YouTube account. If the dealership allows me to film then I will. I have no video editing equipment, so it will be raw. Some stuff might be proprietary, so I might not be able to capture it i.e 5.5 Bi-Turbo tech session. I'm very passionate, and AMG is indeed near to my heart, and I'm thriving to make these events happen. If your interested in attending, please PM me with your full name and email address, so that you name can be added to my email distribution list.

We now have to collect cost data to provide to Management, so that we can have their blessing or not. Since it is their dime that is paying for all of it. It comes out their PR and advertising fund.

Good news the dates for the events should be published very soon, as the March event is vastly approaching. Brian is having a sales meeting at 9 am tomorrow, after that their have a meeting aout the AMG Events. So good news should evolve from it.

I just asked Brian, if Management has settled the dates for the events for this year. His reply was hopefully, we will get the word today.
I certainly hope this is the word, I have been waiting for.

Well, I just got a little tired of waiting for an answer. So, I called Brian and asked him point blank WHEN? His answer was that we are 90% sure that we will hold the events on the last Sunday of the month, since there open anyway. He's waiting to hear back from Randy the Business Manager for confirmation. So I let the cat out of the bag already, because I'm enthusiastic. Like a kid before Christmas his all his presents opened. I will post the revised events schedule when I get home. We are planning to have a representative from AMG, as the presenter of the tech session on the 5.5 Bi-Turbo. So, we need to confirm his itinerary. At least we are further ahead then we were on Monday.

William, if I could respectfully make a suggestion about the proposed track event.
VERY few MB owners, AMG or otherwise, who live on the east coast are interested in tracking their cars. If you try to rent Summit Point for a track day, I can guarantee that you will not get enough people to make it financially viable.
Why not look at getting a group together to attend the annual MB track event on June 9-10 at VIR?
The event is run by MBCA Greater Washington chapter, right in your own neighborhood!
VIR has hotel, restaurant, bar etc all on site. Also a nice swimming pool to keep the wives and kids happy!

If I can give you any other information, just PM me.

AMG Events for 2011
1) March- Tech session on the new 5.5Liter Twin Turbo Engine.
The session would highlight the technical specifications for the engine and review the stop and start functionality of the new motors. Discuss timeline of new product introductions and what is new for 2011 and beyond.
2) May - Do it yourself tech event technician discusses things that an owner could do himself. Overview of AMG specific servicing requirements and care.
3) June - CLS 63 AMG Intro
4) August - C63 Intro and overview of vehicle
5) September Auto X Day for AMG club members/ AMG tech overview of track based features.
6) October - SLS Roadster Intro and overview of vehicle
The last word, that I received from Brian today, was that he's 90% sure that the events would occur on the last Sunday of each month, but he needs to consult the business manager for confirmation. So until I hear some different, plan for last Sunday on March 27th, May 29th, June 26th, Aug 28th, Sept 25th and October 30th. If anything changes, I will post it.
And if your planning on attending any of these events, please PM me with your information; Name, Email, Screen Name, Vehicle Model, phone number is optional. We need this information so we can account for you in our numbers for food and beverages, and gifts, etc.
