Airstrip Attack 2!!!

Looks like another airstrip roll-on event coming up by Shift S3ctor. The venue looks to be much improved from last time. Hope you guys can come out and represent the AMGs with me. Can't wait!!!

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the Famoso event because I want to know what the car will do in the 1/4 mile on a properly prepped track. But I know the Airstrip will also be good. We shall see when the days get closer.

+1 on the Famoso Event.

I won't be running but I"ll be there to watch everyone else.

for this airstrip event. I knew a few people that went last time and they had a blast. I'm sure this time around will be just as much, if not more fun!

I think I'm going to end up going to the Famoso event just because I want a time slip.

I absolutely love the E63! Took a bit of time to get used to the increased size compared to the C, although it still drives plenty nimble. The added luxury is nice, but it's the biturbo engine that I'm most impressed with. Even stock, it "feels" as fast as my previous tune+header C63. Planning to have it tuned by time of event, just haven't decided which vendor to go with.

What Famoso event are you talking about? I know there is a thread in the W211 forum, but I didn't see any dates committed to yet.

Is it this one? Because if so that's the following weekend on 11/17, so it won't conflict with the airstrip event.
