In case you're wondering, I actually did have a dog in this fight - but it wasn't an MB (sorry!).

Nah - I'm a Miami boy living in Ohio!

This event was hosted outside of Moscow, and as far as I can tell the requirements were a: you had to know about it, and b: you had to bring a girl (seemed like a trend, anyway!).

I think the actual "top speed" went to the Heffner Ford GT, but "our" car won all the actual races it was in (v. SLR, Heffner GT - which beat the Hennessey Viper, Evotech AMGs, Gemballa Porsche).

I'm still waiting for videos from Mad Mike.
