I was at Schnell for like 5 minutes. The guy with the Stage 3 AWE Tuning S4 said he'll come too but we need to let him know what time and date. If you're reading this then now you know. I've notified the Kleemann 04 E55 and I will try to get the Elise out too.

Are you sure there's room?

I'm stoked that you're going over to Tysons, but I have a question:

That lot gets pretty darn full on Friday nights. I'm just wondering whether you might find it impossible for people to park anywhere near each other. Have you scoped it out on a Friday previously?

Hope your ride gets fixed in time r0csfinest...
Anyone and everyone with a Benz or other European is welcome. Although we are focusing on getting a larger Benz turnout.

Pa28pilot... The part of the lot at Tyson's 2 we meet at is never packed.
Macy's top level parking.

rocko... Lot's of stocks come out, hope you can make it.

simon78... I would try to take your car through the service lane at the Benz dealer first "American Service Center," they do free washes on any benzes. If that's closed try the car wash near the Benz dealership on Glebe Rd near Ballston Commons, going south of the dealership, think it's called Mr.Wash. on the left.

Ah, now I know. Thanks. All I know is that I'm frequently frustrated when I try to find a spot anywhere near places I'm going.

Looks like it's going to be the biggest all Benz meet so far this year.

ACS will wash any Benz for free, just take it through the service lane and request a complimentary wash.

Other cars are welcome, but let's try to leave spots for all the benzes together in a group. Going to take photos.

Rick, I'll try to make it out to Florida soon!

Gang,

Good News

I spoke to Capital Raceway in Crofton, MD today and they are still renting the track on Friday's every week like they did last year. For those that I met a few weeks ago, you all seemed very pumped to go. I spoke to Kim and have the track reserved for Friday, May 13th but that can change if a better Friday works for everyone. If we get 15 people, the cost is only $80 a person for the whole day, if we get only 8 it is $107 a person. My first time was last fall and it is a BLAST to be able to run 1/4 times without having to wait in long lines. This is a great way to learn how to launch your car and try various methods.

Will have to cut it off at 15 people, so the quicker you reserve your spot the better.
