Alright this is what I'm going to do. I want to make this a meet/drag race for people. I always wanted to set up a meet of fellow benz owners so here is my chance. Some time in April I would like to get together a couple benz's for a little meet. maybe during the day to get lunch or something. Then we can hang out or what not and then for those interested we can go drag at California Speedway. Once there we could all race for fun and we could do it safely . Any days in particular you guys would like? Feel free to voice opinion's too. I was thinking we could invite other people like the bimmer peeps and the audi peeps too. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

I'm in.

Saturdays or Sundays are cool for me. Weekdays are out. Just not April 3 or 4.

Are we going to meet in the Rose Bowl parking lot? That seemed like a nice central location with a lot of place to park.

I might be interested in doing some runs too.

I vote for this location too since it's a big parking lot.
