Guys this is nota race, we can race but really its gonna be us against the world as nearly every other street legal car will wanna piece of an AMG.. its gonna be crowded so we may only get a few runs. it will be a blast and once you do this you will just keep wanting to run.


My car is more stock than before as I am back on stock wheels,

I have the VRP 530 which is ECU tune, the phenolic spacers, IAT relocation and filters. Car is likely 25 hp over stock so not very significant. I will be using 100 octane and slicks! this will be my last time prior to piloting the Team AMG CLS @ MIR on Nov 15th repping CALI, Westside

We know it won't be a race race as you said cause there will be everyone and their mom's there. BUT...isn't there a way that we can ask the guy up front to let us run each other if we ask?

I've seen and done it before. I had a friend who I was going to run against line behind me and then when it came down to it, I asked the guy if he could let me and my friend run together. They usually approved.

I jus want to get there, see how the car runs and the rest of the time is for hanging with my fellow benz homies...

Yes, we can ask that is what I usually do.

What is the point of going to the track if you can't run who you want?

You simply line up behind the car you wanna run, That driver will point to the cartariling him and the lanes person will take the two cars wishing to run and line them up.




Yep its gonna be a great day

Does anyone know if this track allows motorcycle helmets? I dont know the company or model yet but I know that its a full face helmet.

BTW: I still don't know if the event is RSVP or first come first served.

Thanks

Thats what I want to get as my car is white. Since this is my first time I dont want to go crazy and spend a lot of money, so I'm borrowing my cousins spare bike helmet.

One more thing... Where do you buy those hoods that you wear under the helmet to absorb your sweat? Any actual shops in the L.A area? Near Beverly Hills?

If you wanna run you gotta be at the track 1hr before the gates open , tech in and reel off a couple runs AM prior to HOT AIR

Tech usually opens @7a for 9a start

630 arrival is good.

bfast at Farmer brothers 6a-630 track by 645 k

You guys can go later but no guarantee you get to run.. This is a street legal day and there will be HUNDREDS of cars.

Air is better early but hey if you cannot WAKE up show up later we will likely stay till 5p

The track days in so Cal are far and few so if you wanna see what yer car will do this is it..

Bring drinks, some shade and a chair or two , we drank beer last time LOL!

Damn!! This man is on a mission! I'll give you a ring when the event gets closer. When you say cruise over, are you talking about going straight to the track or HMS?
