Thumbs up Atlanta AMG fest 2006 - the best of times!

I find it hard to put into words how much fun this past week end was.
What a fantastic group of enthusiasts. We have faces to go with names and great friendships were forged. I know we will all be getting together again in the future.

Those who could not attend....you missed the start of something GREAT. Don't worry you will have oppotunities to join us again in the future. We will be doing this again. I invite evryone to join us. IT WAS THE BEST!!!

Special thanks MUST go out to Steve, Bob, Scott, Michael and Noah (last names ommitted to protect the innocent and the guilty ) With out your tireless efforts and planning none of this would have been possible.

It was a genuine pleasure meeting everyone. See you again soon!

Owen

It was a blast...............


too bad it was to cold for the NOS. The drag radials proved there point, even with the transmission trobles...

it was a outstanding weekend..
some how I ended up in New Orleans LA. not quite on the way home from
Atlanta to Florida, it was fun hanging out with Easty in the big easy...

I look forward till the next meet...

I know after the Dyno pull of 413/499 on NOS every one was looking forward to a NOS pass, but no bottle heater stopped it in its tracks.
despite trying to warm the bottle on the S/C of a SLK55. 600 psi is way to low to run needed psi

any one that seen the Dino pull from my car will remember the delay while we tried to heat up the bottle

Maybe a summer time event or I should buy a bottle blanket..

It was good to put a face with the names

Thanks for having me,
Bill T
