Anyone in the Pittsburgh/TriState area drag their cars?

Hey guys, i just traded in my CLK500 in on an 04 white E55 with pretty much everything except distronic and ventilated seats. The car is phenomenal, most noticable difference is obviously the power. The E55 feels alot quicker than the S55, and very close to the SL55. This being said, i really havent tried to lanch the car yet because of the weather, so im only comparing rolling starts. Do any owners in the area go to any drag strips? Just wanted to say hello and share my thoughts so far.

We get together down here in MD, it's just a bit of a hike for you. Congrats on the car.

BTW, I used to have an office in Cranberry Twp.

I'll be at Norwalk and Dragway 42 (in Ohio) as soon as the weather breaks.
