hey guys I spoke with the big wigs... Do we want Limerock? There is an event the 26th and 27th at limerock so if we wanted it, we would need to reschedule our event. Our other option is an autoX event to be established, I cant garantee that it would be a no cost or low cost option though, I need to contact a few places or companies.

Rob... I saw him at the New York auto show last week, so we chatted a bit about the event... He said he would reply to your emails at some point this week.

He said we would not be able to drive our own cars at limerock so there were a few logistics that would need to get worked out, in the mean time I am contacting the SCCA for some help in setting up an autoX event in Jersey.

thats why we moved the event to the summer... the cars might not enjoy it as much but hopefully no rain either...

On an autocross at the Meadowlands, you should be fairly competitive with the AMGs; they're generally laid out there for curves more than straights. Driver control will be more of a factor.

Out of curiousity, who's running the event? I wouldn't be interested in doing the event - did one event in the Benz, and had very little fun fighting the ESP/ABS BS on a tight course. But if you need any help setting it up or keeping track of everybody's times the day of the event, let me know.

autoX is in a parking lot... you are in no danger of doing any MAJOR damage to your car as cones are what designate the track, ie NO WALLS.
