E55 vs. M5 vs. RS6 - (SoCal)

We (C32/C55) have been kicking around the idea of challenging the BMW (M3) and Audi (S4) guys at the drag strip. Would any E55 guys want to go and does anyone know any M5 or RS6 guys that would be open to the challenge?

We wanted to rent Cali Speedway, but they don't have any weekends available. So, they have a open track day on the 14th of January that is 2nd best. Check this thread out. Any interest? Any other ideas?

Info on the event.

I've got my E55 and a buddy with an S4 on standby. Maybe an M5 too if BENZGal's boyfriend is up for it. Cali Speedway is only 1/8 though, isn't it?

I plan to attend as well... but I will think there will be hundreds of cars there...

there are not many tracks in So Cal and specially in urban areas. The other track is located on Palmdale (high desert) evelation and strong head winds kill your time.

I hope to get at least 3 passes, but I will most likely will have to wait an hour or two before each run.

We are going to try and rent California Speedway for a Friday afternoon/night. Please refer to this thread if anyone other than W203 guys are interested. It would be great to have as many AMG, M and S cars out there.
