SL65 AMG Challenge
I was fortunate enough to enjoy the SL65 and CL65 at the AMG Challenge in Homestead, FL. The event was absolutely fun. Imaging the CL65 on a race track drifting at 100mph SIDEWAYS!

Sergio,

Were you our cheerleader in Chappy's and my red group?

Hey Doc,

Did you stay for a beer and pose for siswati's pic?

Unfortunately i missed the pic. I did meet eagleeye for breakfast and siswati later on....very good people. This board was definitley well represented and the pics siswati took are incredible. Those hot lap pics of the CLS55's squatting under hard braking and turning are just a teaser. Next year ill try to do the graduate course if time allows.
