Yep, leave them home. I brought my wife last year, it was a drag for her. You will be tired after driving all day and totally thinking about the days events. You should arrange for a meet at a bar afterwards.. I was going to Homestead this year but I may fly solo to limerock due to comments by ClayJ and others.

Any way you go you will have a blast.. I hope they actually let us drive the 07 65 versions and not just park them in front of us to drool over..

2012 C63 Black Series Coupe
Appropriate Joliet Transport?

You guys need to find a '74 Dodge Monaco and show up to the Challenge in true Joliet Jake style. This would -- no doubt -- impress those AMG/MB honchos...

"It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic-inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?"

Thanks for the heads up! I just signed up cause these spaces do go fast. Should take about 3 hours up I-55 from StL (he-he). Can't wait.....

A little OT but,

Derek, are you a Lifetime member at the Autobahn? Or is the track open to non members sometimes??

If I get a trackable car I would like to visit that track again.
