Gunther and his yellow Protomotive tuned 996TT will be there. And George with his silver modded 996TT will also be there. Two 211 E55's will be there. And an SL65 will be there if he's in town. This is just one day into planning fella's. Thi strack day will be even better than our last one! I will bring my Kleemann K7 CLK55 this time.

I'm in. My 2007 SLK should be ready that week... I won't be able to run with the big dogs anyway, but I will take it easy just the same.

Need to "break in" the car without breakin' it. :-)

...

(Yes, I did just say that.)

There has been alot of expressed interest in this track day. I'm not gonna list the cars coming like last time though, maybe later if I have some free time I'll make a list. Just keep your fingers crossed for good weather!

ShahedC- I got your voicemail, havent had a chance to return your call. I've been very busy and will be for the near future.

I'll just make a master list on KewlList and stick it in my signature. That way, you don't have to keep repeating the list a hundred times in this thread.

Here is the permanent URL. Just bookmark it or click it from my signature to see the list.

Added all and also updated the Anon's.

Also, moved you to the top of the list, and pushed myself down to #2, since you're actually organizing this

BTW, who is this Tentative: SL65 ?

I added one more maybe- MikeHsu's friend with a new M5. Thanks for making the list. You can be at the top of the list, it doesnt matter to me. SL65 is "juice it" on this forum.

Hehe, it is, admittedly, a shameless plug for my upcoming web app, KewlList.

You can use it to make a grocery list, shopping list, party invite, bookmarks list, Xbox gamertag list, or organize any gathering

I hope to finish up all the features this Fall, and take it into Beta.

Best of all, you can load the URL in any mobile device, so we can even take roll call at the track, without a printout. :-)

(I still have to optimize it for mobile devices though, so that it doesn't load all the graphics)

Finally, the dealer sent me this email:

"Just got assigned to a boat in Germany. Will be leaving in a few days. And then would know ETA. Will keep you posted."

Anyone here know how long it takes for the a ship to get here? (I am in northern VA, Washington DC metro area)

Another 2 maybes:
RAKE55- E63
Cardcounter- 328i turbo (this car is AMAZING!)

The "limit" is 15 but I talked to Kim and she said as long as we dont bring toooo many people it will be fine. From experience, alot of people will be no shows.

hey all, I just got this email from the dealer:

"It just got on the boat with will arrive to Baltimore on the 17th. By the time it clears Customs & Quality Inspection, it will take a week. Therefore so far I am anticipating to see it by about the 27th. Stand by."

So it appears that I may not be joining you guys ..

Either way, I will continue to check this thread and will update the list....

Hopefully a stock E63 will show for a little head to head comparisons. I'd be happy to swap cars with the owner to compare times in each car, too.

A buddy of mine with a 300C SRT-8 wants to attend, Ahmad. He's on RD (SRT8PMP). Is that cool?
