There was no prize for the best Timed Lap because it was to subjective(overheated brakes on some cars,some instructors more or less restrictive as far as the 100mph limit was concerned,some cars had A/C on ,some not,depending on the whim of the instructor)Originally Posted by C43AMG
PLEASE post pics of the watch !
I had 3rd best time(2:59 Lap)2nd was at 2:58 and 1st at 2:569.
The coveted prize,IWC Schaffhausen AMG made of Titanium and valued at $7,700.00 was awarded for the best time on Advanced Line Course.
It consisted of a roughly 0.5 mile ,rapidly changing elevations,fairly quick course,using SL55s only.
On the same course the Passing excersizes were later conducted,so it was much wider and faster then regular Autocross.
Best time was by Tommy Kendall in the SLR at 28.57 sec,the watch winning time by yours truly,was at 30.86 sec in the SL55.
Other interesting tidbit:CLS55 is too soft to compete with the E55 on the track(according to all the pros)that will change for the '06 model year.

I bet they'll just have the E63 for starters and eventually move to the E63 TT after a model change. If you look back, the W210 E55 was NA and when the new W211 E55 came out, so did the S/C. Maybe the W212 will bring with it the AMG TT? Originally Posted by M5KILLR

I got a dumb jacket for having the fastest time in the auto-x at the LA Challenge. Jacket for 50 bucks vs. a 7700 bucks watch? that is a joke! I feel shortchanged here!!!
shucks
and we had no SLR at our event either!
about the CLS vs. E debate... all the drivers at the even said the E was the better car and the CLS had to be pushed far harder to keep up with the E. This caught me off guard until I drove them back to back and I had to agree. In the hot lap session, my driver had a CLS for the first run and an E for the second and the E blew past the the CLS after half a lap. Cant explain it but the CLS was not as dialed in...
haha, you suck! maybe if you had shown up in your maybach they would have given you the watch. :pOriginally Posted by CynCarvin32

that watch is ugly anyway.

My brother went to the AMG Challenge event in Wisco while I had to work (lucky me), my consolation prize being a shirt that he got. But he gave me a promo piece for some one-off type event that they're doing at Autobahn down in Joliet. It's a half-day for $400, so he & I signed up as it may be the last time we get on the track before the cold comes.
