To make it accessible for all in the Northeast I was thinking Connecticut(SP?) or somewhere in NY(not the city)? I am thinking early to late spetember some time?

I believe with some help we could get this to be another great event... also if someone is on Benz World could you post it there to get maximum turn out. Please PM or IM me or post with any ideas you may have and we can start on the organizing as soon as possible... we had 15AMGs in the south, why not 20-25 in the north!!!

I am looking for ideas regaurding locations( anything from jersey to as far up as MA), possible events, any popular MB tuning shops in the area, different sponsors we could contact for the event, and any other forums MB or AMG related we could post this to

-Pete
I will set up an email address and IM screen name for information to be relayed to
I would like to attend, what are the final plans, I drive a 2001 ML55 Br Silver. blk interior.

Well folks it seems as if we have hit a snag... Anyone in the New york area know of some tracks in or around the city(even in jersey) close to some reputable dyno shops. My original plan of lebanon valley and dynoing at Orange county choppers isnt a great idea as mapquest says they are two hours apart. Now Im thinking maybe a cruise through Bear Mountain state park and if there is a track and dyno around there?

I'm in. Once we have a set date and place I'll give the MD/DC/VA people the word and will probably get quite a few people. Probably come up there in a caravan. We're having a meet tomorrow if it doesnt rain and I'll let them know about this but we definitely need a concrete time and place for me to get a large number of people. There are 2 crazy W211 E55s (one with everything kleemann and the other with everything evosport, both running high 11's the last time we went to the track) here that will probably want to come

me and sticksanddice are going to try and get limerock now. But we have another possibility of E-town, NJ track and road course and Dynoing at turbo trix( I talked with them and they said we could rent a dyno for the day for $900(15cars want to dyno its 60 a person)... Also if anyone knows how to go about getting an AMG rep for this please PM me... BlackBenzz with your crew that would push us over 30 cars... I am pretty sure AMG would send us a rep to Jersey or CT to meet with us!!!

I'm up for Englishtown but no way on CT. Keep us posted. I don't need a dyno because I'm bone stock, unless the chrome adds a few HP.

i'd be down, but i'd rather it be in new jersey than in ct.

i was just looking online, i found that there is a drag strip in englishtown, nj called old bridge township raceway. there's no track there, but i'd rather not put the wear and tear on my suspension and brakes either.
here's the link: http://www.etownraceway.com/

also, i can't say i'm definitely in since of my fluctuating school schedule, but once the date gets closer, i'll be able to give you a more definitive answer.

i got a c32.
