i don't think mercedes dealers would be able to host us. wouldn't they have to clear their whole parking lot/inventory to fit all of us.

but the best thing to do is to contact a pr guy at mbusa.

Folks, I predict this AMG meet will never find a home. However, you are all welcome to simply join the NJ meet (see associated thread). No track events, but simply a meet and greet and food and booze.

55fan-man.... I don't think you answered whether there is a track there and track time involved?? That would be a key draw!

Right now there is nothing planned for sunday... Im finding it difficult to get in touch with E town Raceway. We are also looking into setting up some type of a road course in a parkinglot.

So to directly answer your question, NO there is no track event scheduled BUT I and the others are looking in to it

yeah I am going to have to agree with fong on this one... While for small meets this may be ok... This event will have media coverage and that wouldnt be good. A track event would be far safer then something like that
