I would have thought the thread titled "East Coast AMGfest 2006 Registration Open...Aug 26 and 27" that was started months ago and got over 200 posts before the event would have given you some idea...

I'm glad you were there Dave, so a) there's proof, b) I knew how I stacked up since I didn't know anyone else's time, c) I felt a little love from the MB krew.
Carl, I saw you sitting in your cozy dry warm car for a few minutes while I was standing out in the insane rain picking up any cones that got run over (very few did). I waved as I was walking to my car when you were coming around leaving as I was coming back to do my 2nd passes; you missed some serious beatage on the C43.

We're not allowed to tak pix when out on the course doing cone duty, and since there wer so few people, we had double duty so I had no breaks to eat or take pix of other cars going around the course.

LOL! You got me there!Yea I was being a wuss! But you were'nt gonna find me standing in that crap! LOL!Steve I gotta hand it to you.Your car is impressive to say the least. Especially the comments by Dave pertaining to your car. Good job!
I'd like to do the suspension but I wouldnt be able to handle the wait.
I'm gonna have to bring my Eagle Talon down so I can enjoy the autocross as well.For some reason I don't think my C43 would do to bad but certainly not as well as you.Dave has a very good handle on his C43 I must say and it looks like he has the stck suspension.Impressive as well. I did notice that the anti-skid is a real *** saver around those turns on wet grnd.I love it in that case.Fun fun fun!
