Guys,
It you follow MB AMG racing then you don't want to miss this efvent. Records will be set!!
I expect you will see the first real AMG run 9's!! Don't miss it!!

I am bringing the R8 up in an attempt to push her into the 10's. So far no R8 has made it into the 10's N/A. I hope to change that record.

blackbenzz thanks for the pm. They seem to be too far from NYC for just spark plug swap. Will stay this time on stock plugs and see how it goes...

11 hours from my house but if you factor in that I will be coming to MIR event straight from Optima Invitational in Vegas it makes it a 35+ hour drive so nobody should have an excuse not to make this event. Keith is making a pretty long haul as well from central Florida

Lots of records will fall. Maybe several times in the same day kik. There's an R8 up here that converted to rwd and ran low 11s. He should be there too. Air is getting nice and cold! Hopefully perfect weather on the 16th for your 10 second record!
