Make sure to make your hotel reservations by April 8th!

The host hotel will be the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites located in Peachtree City, GA. Our group rate will be just $89 per night (all the rooms are suites) and you'll need to make reservations directly with the hotel at (770)487-4646. Make sure you mention you are with the "Mercedes AMG Group" to get this rate. This rate will be available if your reservations are made by 04/08/05. At this point, they are holding just ten rooms so make your reservations asap!

Here's a link to the hotel website....

Is this still just for AMG models? No others, 500E's, Renntech's, etc.? I purchased a 500E and wouldn,t mind taking it out on the dragstrip.
A few more questions, My wife wants to come - how many other spouses are attending? Is the dyno 4 wheel capable? and what time does this thing start on Sat.?

Spouses are welcome!

We will plan on meeting at Peachtree City Airport (Falcon Field) at 9:30am Saturday morning where we have arranged to photograph our AMGs with an F-16 fighter jet as a backdrop! Directions to the airport can be found at www.kffc.org. Don’t be late as the cars will need to be arranged in the best possible manner with the participating AMGs on hand.

After the shoot, we will head over to a local restaurant in Peachtree City for a presentation from AMG.

Ever wonder what kind of power your AMG is getting down to the road? After lunch, we have arranged to have our cars actually dyno-tested at AllSpeed, located in Peachtree City. This is be a great chance to see what numbers your AMG is putting to the ground. Dyno runs (three pulls each) will be available at the discounted rate of just $55 per car (air/fuel ratio results $10 additional) . This will be another great place to have some photos or video taken of your car in action!

On Sunday, we will depart from the host hotel (Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites in Peachtree City) at 8am sharp. We have arranged an invitation from another car club to hit the drag strip at Silver Dollar Raceway, located in Reynolds, GA. The cost to participate is $25 per car (which includes the $10 gate fee).

This truly unique AMG weekend is cost-free, excepting your lunch and if you choose to participate in the dyno pulls Saturday afternoon or drag racing on Sunday.

See you there!

Chappy, are we running on Sunday all by ourselves or is it open to others? Can we request REALLY good track prep? I would be more than willing to pay more money for them to spray more of that "really sticky" stuff on the track. We are going to be chasing MB records and that stuff could really help. You've done an AWESOME job with this, thanks.

This track has the best of the two 1/4 milers near Atlanta, to my knowledge. We will be guests of the Georgia F-body association....that's how we'll be able to run for just $25. These guys have always been great and very welcoming to other clubs.

Anyone can "run what you brung" to this event, assuming they pass tech (which will be conducted by our hosts) and fork over the $ to run
