September Northeast AMG/MB weekend
Hey folks after seeing how great the Atlanta AMG photoshoot/ track/dyno event went I wanted to get thoughts about doing something similar up here in the Northeast region!!!
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

You might want to touch base with "CHAPPY" based upon the postings for his Atlanta event it sounds like he put together a serious event and he had an AMG guy show up.

I found the track it is a drag strip... it is Lebanon Valley speed way. Would you all want to do something different, there is limerock in Connecticut and there is also Watkins Glen in NY near albany and those are both road courses... I am up for whatever but I think lebanon valley would be easiest...

i think you should work on the lime rock track for two reasons, they have a full track as well as a drag strip and it is lower south then the other one meaning you will get more ppl, b/c i think most will be coming from jersey, PA and metro n.y.
