Our first meet was in Atlanta in May 2003. Here's the link:

Since then, we have organized several other meets, drives and days at the drags that usually attracted five to ten cars each. We had been building a "track record" of successful events for the past couple years. Large events take months to plan and promote. As I mentioned to 55fanatic, I have a very understanding/supportive wife and no kids (at this point).

The AMG Weekend that Schiznick and I organized was the first weekender that came together and got the most attention. Perhaps that's why you thought is was the first time a large AMG gathering happened in the U.S.

Bottom line....we did this for fun. We didn't charge a penny and everyone seemed to have a good time. We are kicking around some ideas for a future AMG event as well....hopefully, the weather will be better next time!

I hope nothing but the best of success with your event

5-10 cars is a big turnout? We get more than that at pretty much every meet here in the DC area and the yare usually last minute meets. We have 15 people going to the track on friday (limited to 15).

I'd be interested, but only if my OMG is allowed in.

But seriously, something further south a bit would be better for us down in the stix.
