Limerock Aug 2nd Graduate (again) !! I agree with Chris - we did it together last year - gonna be great again. Before that I did Pocono, I think the Road courses are better.

Model choices...
Last year you were assigned to a team and that group rotated through different sections of the park. On the main track it was largely CLS55 and E55.
On the smaller autocross section, they were SLK55. Avoidance used C55. Think we did a slalom with SL55 and can't remember the wet/oval for handling...

Martin,
Thanks a lot for your help. I deleted my posting after finding out the info on the registration website (I should have read it carefully earlier). Now I am very looking forward to the event on 7/31, especially since I would be able to drive other AMG vehicles besides the E55. Thanks again.
