Anyone from here going to the AMG academy at Laguna seca this week?

link??

I am taking the basic course on Sunday

I'm going on thurs the 23rd.

I was signed up, had to cancel unfortunately....

I'll be there Thursday as well. Are you local or traveling?

I will be there Friday the 24th...coming from DC. Basic course.


Anyone else?

I'll be there Saturday for the Basic Course. I was able to combine it with a business trip and someone else cancelled.....


Looking forward to it!

Gonna be traveling from Vegas. Driving my 507 there. Staying at the comfort inn in monterey.

I may stay there myself.
Only live about 50 away, but I sure don't want to sit in traffic Thursday Morning.

just came back from it, what an experience wow.....anybody here that was there oct 22nd?

I'll be driving to Monterey tonight, and attend the Basic Training tomorrow. It might rain.....

Just got home from the course. Top notch day all the way around. The awesome instruction really takes this course over the top. That and cruising around Laguna Seca in SLS's. :-) Highly recommend if anyone can go. Oh....and try really REALLY hard to win the autocross. I came in third .12 secs behind first (was the fastest during practice but couldn't put it together when it counted).

Also met a mbworld member for the first time in person, SCAMG13. It was a real pleasure to meet ya brotha and hang out.

Event was awesome. Can't believe they allow us out in SLS's on the track.
Personally I loved the skid pad in the 507, I believe they will be needing new tires very soon.

I heard the bill for tires is going to your house DK!

I just got back from Leguna Seca, I did the course this last Tuesday. Was a great time. If you are taking someone with you and like wine, the nearby wineries are worth the visit. My fiancé already wants to move to the other side of the country haha.

My brother's there now.

I'm going to the one in Palm Springs, CA in mid-Dec.

Can't wait!!!

its the way it should be

just got back from laguna seca on Tuesday, awesome, met great ppl and lots of driving, what a blast, and Spdrcrj, it was mine time, 25.018, he wrote it to you as a 4th lap, JSUK, did not want to burst your bubble there....hey its all fun!!!!!

???? I cant understand your comment. lol

Did it today at Laguna Seca. What a memorable event, and very professionally done. I am totally hooked! To top it all off, I won the Autocross with 24.7.......


Another observation: All the C63s had the oil cooling upgrade installed. Go figure.....


Am now at the airport Marriott in San Francisco, back to Cincinnati tomorrow early.

Congratulations!!!! First prize is awesome! I did a 24.7 in practice. Just couldn't get it done when I needed it.


Did all of them have it? I did a taxi ride in the white C63 Black and the oil temp was up to 243 halfway through the lap. After the taxi lap, the instructor said he had to do a cool down.

Yes, they all had it. It is actually cleaner looking - you don't see the front oil cooler through the grille, because it is lying completely flat.


The Black Series has that set up as standard, and I don't think they have an issue. 243 degrees is not a problem, and having to give the cars a cool down after hot laps is good practice. Limp mode kicks in at around 285 degrees.
