We seem to have made an impression…..

I just received notice from the organizers for the Drag Day (November 5th) that due to the large response, they will be offering separate TROPHIES just for the AMG/Mercedes-Benz participants on hand.

Knowing just HOW competitive a bunch we have here at MBWorld, I would like to announce...with great pleasure...that the AMG "King of the Hill" Trophy will be awarded to the person with the lowest ET in the 1/4 mile at this event.

Same track. Same conditions. Same day.

The Title is up for GRABS! Come and claim your piece of AMG History! You want it? COME GET IT!

Trophies will be awarded for the following:

1. Quickest ET – Mercedes (Forced Induction) KING OF THE HILL!
2. Quickest ET – Mercedes (Normally Aspirated)
3. Best Reaction Time – Mercedes (no need to have 700hp for this one lol….)

Thanks again to the Ga3/S and SELOC folks for the enthusiastic welcome.

I have my bottles filled, stocked up on miniDVD disk for the camcorder.
so what is the count of registered members attending?


Also with the NOS will I still be in the Normally Aspirated class with my SLK55?

The count has increased slightly (from 30ish)....I'm guessing some will hold out until the registration deadline on October 25th.

Excellent question about NOS. I did not know myself, so I asked the organizers of the drag day and here is the reply I received:

"As far as nitrous on a non-turbocharged/non-supercharged vehicle, nitrous is considered a form of forced induction which would not make the motor naturally aspirated. I consulted the wikipedia as well:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturally-aspirated_engine

Natural aspiration gives less power than either turbo or supercharged engines of same engine displacement and development level but is cheaper to produce and generally operates with better fuel efficiency. In drag racing, naturally-aspirated vehicles are vehicles that do not run a blower, a turbo, nor use nitrous oxide."

Hope this answers your question.

Bill,

I am really looking forward to your visit here....I'm very impressed with the NOS setup and can't wait to see it in person.

I'm looking forward to the meet. also considering driving up with the drag radials. see if I can pull off a 11.xxx time up there. the NOS is too much for the P zeros.
