yeah ... it's free.

Nope can't track your own car in this event. Bring the BENZ! We will all line up our cars together, theres about 12 or more of us heading up there. There is a MB sponsored Autocross event on Oct. 3rd if you want to track your own car.

It was a BLAST!!!!

Drove the SL500 crazy fast 6 times on the track. Definitely the best handling and performance wise... And it was raining too. THose Michelins can grip!

The NEW SLK350 was very impressive as well, fast, but gotta get the AMG sports package. I don't like the standard package. Or the SLK55!

Wasn't too impressed with the E320 CDI, liked the E500 4matic okay.

It was sooooooooo much fun. Drove the S430, S500, E-Class, SLK, SL500 a few times, and sat in the G500. The SL was awesome. Superb handling.

Very impressed!!
