Georgia roll-call

Hello,

I noticed that from all the mercedes forums that exist, this is probably the only one that has the most Georgians.

I was thinking about organizing a Georiga meeting, mabye around Mall of Georgia, or a landmark that is known, and then mabye going for a drive around Helen! is anybody interested..let me know...

If nothing else, at least to get to know other fellow benzsporters.

I am up for it. Chappy have you stayed in touch with the rest of the crew from the last get together?

We should have even better luck this time...

What is the most you would pay for a full private day on the track at Road Atlanta?

Damn I wish I was in Georgia! One of my favorite tracks along with Laguna Seca and Road America. Thunder Hill and Willow Springs in California charge only 4-5K for the whole day. We have split it with some local BMW and other car clubs to get teh cost as low as $100 each car! 40-50 cars sounds like a lot but we put about 10 on the track at a time and only for 30 minutes. This gives us time to cool off and watch the in car videos!

Make sure you post pics and vids after the event!

I have e-mailed some of the folks about a BMW drive on August 24th. Plus, I am making plans to do the Space Coast Beach Party at the end of September (MB dealer sponsored) down on Satellite Beach....will satisfy my ROAD-TRIP-ITIS

As far as the track is concerned, I'd go up to $250.....keeping in mind that I'd also have to budget tires and brakes as well (The AMG Challenge ends up being less $$$ taking all into account!!)

How much does Road Atlanta charge these days for a private track day?

Jimmy,

Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything planned while you're in town.

Where are you staying? Maybe we could have a cold one if our schedules permit. Got any pics of your E420?

Hey Chappy,

Thanks for getting back to me and sorry for the late response. I had to drive down to Charlotte, NC. for a couple of days but now I'm back. I am staying near Piedmont and Peachtree in/near Buckhead (nice party town). My schedule differs everyday so what's your like? I don't know if you're near me but let me know. Here is one of the latest pics. of my ride. Later...

Thanks for getting back so quickly Chappy but tonight is bad for me as I just got a call about some clients coming in to town that I have to meet with. I have also just been told that I get to go home this weekend but will have to be back for a week or two on the 8th of next month. Maybe we'll try again then or hopefully you guys have a meet or something planned by then. Anyway, I'll try to stay in touch. I'll PM you my number.
