AMG Challenge at Summit Point

What a blast to be zipping around the track, autocross course, or wet skid pad in AMG models.
Opening ceremony was lead by David Hobbs of Speed Channel and famous drivers(Adam Andretti, John Rutherford...) to be used as instructors.

Breakfast, lunch, and a champagne toast concluded an eventful day. We all signed up at the Michelin tent for a set of free FRS radios, spent time in the Motorola G55 where the drawing winner went home with a new V60 phone, and I enjoyed taking top honors in the timed autocross event and winning a set of Michelin tires.

We were seven(7) strong in C32 ownership, the most of any AMG car in the parking lot. I did get around to talking to a few, one of which did not even know that this board exisited.

Take a look at the narrated pics below.
