PAPA Private Track Day - Gingerman Raceway (Michigan)

Hey guys,

The Purdue Automotive Performance Association is having a track day and perhaps some of you (in the area) would be interested!

Don't let me be the only Mercedes there again :/ If I am, I'll make sure to show that the W210 with the 5.5 is a beast!

Thanks!

I'm really thinking about signing up for this, at least so you won't be the only Benz on the track, but I wish the weather were better these days. Perhaps it'll warm up by April

Hey, quick question, have you not updated your info, or are you running an E55 now? The E430 has a 4.3 engine, correct?

Awesome, definitely sign up! Where you located?

I still drive an "E430" but has a little bigger AMG motor in it. Goal was to have a sleeper. I do want a E55 tho, the leather and body kit is the best thing about those AMGs if you ask me!

Awesome. If you need any help prepping your car or what not, just let me know. I travel up to Chicago every so often!

Most prep work is making sure everything is tight, brake pads and a brake fluid flush.

No problem, if schedule changes you can still attend. We'll have an Autocross the weekend prior as well! Or an auto show!

Thanks
