Vic & Carlos: It was great meeting and talking smack late in the day having a couple drinks together. Thank you for putting the next thread together as well.

Caravaners:It was great driving to the meet together even if I was trying to have a few freeway blasts with Angela.

Angela: Where do I even begin with you.....Best thing i can say is that you had a smile on my face all day long

Cheers to all and here is to the next event that can't come soon enough...will post my pics later.

Oh you couldnt scare me even if you tried, once you have been in a car that has flipped, driving pretty much gets unscary from then on out. I got an ever higher res version of that pic if you want it.

I had esp off, E63 had it on, and we both ended up about even when the tires ended up gripping

Vic was just plain gone
i was directly behind shelly in that photo; and between the three of you, i was sucking down rubber smoke for the next quarter mile down the road.


some poor ******* in a white CLK was behind me and was SOOOOOOOO not happy about it . ...not that i can blame him... the 190 isn't exactly much to keep up with those v8's and vic's nasty v12.

JP-You were holding your own in that 190, You have to get your buddy, PSK145?? sorry don't remember his name, and have him comed down to San Deigo for a run. You guys were cool. PSK145 was burning a ton a rubber I am sure when Irvine PD got down to that light he was probubly like WTF, by then we were all in the parking lot. TOO Much Fun

I cant believe I didn't do the video, I meant to and instead it took a picture on the last take off. All 3 of those cars were amazing, I remember you three taking off and being in the middle then looking in my rear view mirror and the CLS63 just charging around cars to catch up. And I'm pretty sure PSK145 that your wheels were smoking too. I'm way glad I went to the gathering at the Spectrum first..

Haha!! Who was in the E63? Was it Greg? Cool pic of Vic and Wolf throwing back a few.

We need to setup a track meet soon, so we can kick back AND drive. Only thing is how do we talk VIC55 into going if he can't get ripped??

Oh, and big thanks to my boys from Meridian for coming down from West LA. I was hoping they'd bring the blue SLR I put HRE's on but all the Renn'd AMG's they brought down more than made up for it.

Yes that we me. Great fun and what luck to line up three lights in a row. Vic’s car is fast. I think he pulled more than a car length to 60.
psk145 and I were pretty much even.

It was my pleasure to meet a lot of great people. Thanks to everyone who pulled this together. I can’t wait for the next one.
