Hey...in the CLK or CL AMG section (I forget) somebody said they overheard it being cancelled. Might want to clear that up.

EDIT: E55/E63 section.

c55m8o

might wanna try for an hour earlier. The driver's meeting is 9:45 ; newb walk-thru is quoted as 9:30. If it's anything less then the heavens opening up I think I'll be there.

AsianML

I just realized that whenever it's AMGfest, it's around hurricane season. Think that has anything to do with the rain?

Air Marshall Eldritch

Geez, you AMG guys got your butts handed to you by the Porsche guys. I think they could have driven in reverse, blindfolded, and drunk, and still had faster times.

ctC230K

and the porsche guys got their butts handed to them by that black, 2 generation old miata... that probably cost 1/3 as much when it was new.
except for that GT3. he was pretty quick.

AsianML

Bawhahaha!! So does that just reinforce the stereotype/cliche of MB owners/drivers being old farts?

ctC230K

no it reinforces the fact that MBs are too heavy to autox without major modifications

Militant-Grunt

Oh yes, and my kick *** ML diving under on EVERY single tight turn. Best time 63 seconds. I dont think thats too bad for a 5000 lbs tug that understeers like a pig.

Militant-Grunt

Oh BTW thanks for letting me cut in at the toll for the GW bridge, we actually realized we dont have anymoney, got off at the last possible second, found a citibank, and reentered where you were.

Nice meeting everybody and thanks to Pete and Rob Allen for setting all this up. I had a blast. I already knew the Porsches would crush the AMG's in a autocross, thats what they are made for. Now lets go to the 1/4 mile drag strip and watch the Porsche guys/girls get their asses handed to them!

lilnora

i only took like 3 pictures... someone def. needs to post up some pics haha

AsianML

Is everyone else too tired to post pics?

c55m8o

52.something seconds for me, in the HEIGHT of the rainstorm ... That instructor I had as a passenger was definitely disruptive to my concentration ...

I forgot my camera's docking station @ home so no pix of the meet from me until tomorrow @ best; no pix of today @ the AutoX since my battery died.

c55m8o

You must have not stuck around to see us on our 2nd time out... I'm pretty happy for my 1st time doing this AutoX thing for real in my car. I was definitely holding back until the last 3 runs in the height of the rain storm; can't even count the runs with the passenger who while helping me with technique and the track, definitely supressed my wild side from showing.

tommy

MBs and organized meets just don't seem to get along. I'm not surprised at the high flake factor.

As far as the autox, seems like everyone had fun, and didn't worry about being competitive. Which was a good thing.

c55m8o

I hope to change that here on the East coast. Jeff/speedybenz has already done that on the West.

tommy

Well, good luck with that, but don't bet the ranch.

C43AMG

Mad props Steve..........good driving.

C43AMG

I'd like to acknowledge 2 drivers that came a long way to enjoy this weekend's activities - "Chappy", all the way up from "Hotlanta" and Dan-all the way from Pittsburgh - thanx for taking the time and altering your schedule to make it to this years event.

ViKTORiOUS

loved your car, and your friend --- sooo hot

lilnora

haha thanks.... although you didn't talk to me at all... i heard you live in the edison area?

c55m8o

Just got home now early Monday morning. Only have the energy for this 'fav' of mine for the day....and quite the gray day it was...

Hope the pro can polish that turn of a day we had! I've seen some great work of his. This day might required photochoping to make it great. I can't wait to see.

Great see'n everyone too, old friends and new.
