Damn!!!
I was planning to do those track days in my 55 but I was out of town. I would love to run with another Merc. I'm usually the only MB at any of these track events. Oh well, maybe he'll be out there next time..........

The car had Manufacturer plates on it. He was running some pretty awful times for an SL65.

Lap times are so driver dependant...and aren't indicitive of the car. Plus....isn't it all about having fun anyway?!

Drags!!!! OH NO!!! Saw the video...
I misunderstood....I was thinking PIR or Firebird's road course. Nothing against drag racing but I find the drags pretty dull. As far as him doing a 12 sec 1/4 mile.....could be reaction time, new car, etc.

The guy hosting it took it down. PM me if you really want it. It's kind of boring. Two cars trying to beat each other to 1320 feet. One just happens to be an MB... the other? A Honda with a big exhaust.
