Atlanta GTG AMG Day at the Drags 3/28/04
Silver Dollar Speedway in Reynolds, GA.
Sunday, March 28th.
Cost is $10 to get in and an additional $15 to Tech the car.
The SE F-Body Association has the track rented out for the day. They are gracious hosts and enjoy AMG cars as well. (Last time I went they had quite a few Z06 Vettes....)
For more information please e-mail PM me.
As of today, I know of three AMG cars that will be going including my SL55.
Should be a fun day!

Last event there was dynoooooomite! Hoosier slicks are certainly more than welcome at Silver Dollar. Get ready to watch some detroit iron muscle car enthusiast jaw drops.
See y'all there. HOOOOOOOOSIER DADDY!!

A few more 'enticements' for any fence-sitters: 
Schiznick is working on some other very interesting competition ideas such as a "Best Light" category (yep, with maybe a prize or two thrown in). Other ideas are in the works and this is shaping up to be a very exciting day!
We are also planning on driving down in a caravan. At this point, it will most likely be the Marta lot across from Mercedes-Benz of South Atlanta. We'll meet there in the morning (maybe 9 or 10am) and head down together. Quite a sight.....a dozen AMGs heading down I-75
Nice.
Enough "bench racing"....let's get out from behind the computers and have some fun!

Helmets are required for cars that run 13.99 seconds or faster in the 1/4. If you are pushing 300-400 hp, you will likely run in the 13s.

SLK32
I posted this someplace else, but can't remember where
I am most likely going to attend in my SLK32. But wanted to see if anyone had an extra helmet I can borrow.

Nice.****CHANGE****
We will not be meeting at the Marta lot across from Mercedes-Benz of South Atlanta, as we will be heading down I-75 to Silver Dollar Raceway.
Any person wishing to caravan can meet up at the BJ's Wholesale lot located off I-75 South at exit 221. We'll be meeting at 9:30 and heading to the track from there.
See you Sunday!

I found this "tips for newbies" thread over on the F-Body Association forums. Good info here if you have never been to the track.
