I checked the thread in the PL, but was wondering if there was a cost. I didn't see one mentioned.

I probably won't be able to make it I got school and work. If it's free and I have time I may be interested in the get together but not sure on the track day though..

I don't believe there's a cost associated for the PL get together, but there is for the AMG Driving Academy.

Nope, PL day is the 27th, the day before the AMG Driving Academy.

Dear AMG Private Lounge members,

We are in the final stages of planning a get-together for AMG Private Lounge members on Saturday, October 27, 2012 at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA! As the US AMG Driving Academy will be using the track on this day, members will have a chance to see a variety of AMG vehicles running hot laps.

The focus on this event will be a gathering where AMG Private Lounge members can meet up with each other and share time around the AMG brand.

Many of the latest AMG models will be on display and we are sure that you will enjoy a few surprises as well.

Full details will be released over the next couple of weeks.

Date: Saturday, October 27, 2012
Location: Auto Club Speedway, Fontana, CA

We hope you will plan to join us for this special AMG Private Lounge get together.

If you plan to attend, please reply to this post with the number of people that will be in your party.

We hope you can participate!

Your AMG Private Lounge Team

This will be the third AMG Private Lounge Gethering event that they have done and the first one at this track.

There is no cost to attend, it is only for AMG Owners that register via the AMG Private Lounge. The event typically consists of a meet and greet (think an afternoon cars and coffee) vehicles on display, shop talk with AMG team from Germany and the US, chance to drive AMG's from the AMG Driving Academy on an autocross course and hot laps with a Pro driver at the end of the day.

You can pre-register here:

Pictures can be found fromt he Palm Beach event here:

The AMG Driving Academy has an event going on this same day. The AMG Private Lounge Gathering event does not interupt this event in any way.

If you are an AMG Owner that lives in this area you won't want to miss this day, it is worth the time!
