AMG Challenge!!

I had a great time it was a lot of fun and well worth the money. I was lucky enough to talk my way into 2 laps around the track in the SLR with Tommy Kendall at the wheel. It was awesome!

The event was well put together very nice people, I will be there next year for sure.

I'll post more details later Siswati took a ton of pictures so I'm sure he will be putting some up soon.

I also had fastest time on the go-karts which earned me a Harmon Kardon Sound Sticks speaker system as a prize.

Can't wait for next year.

I thought the AMG Challenge was held once a year in spring.

I got an invite, but never made it to the actual event... I just checked out mbevents.com, but it still has the 2006 registration form

When is the 2007 event, and how many of you have been to the official AMG Challenge event?

There are normally 4 to 5 events each year heald at different tracks around the country. This year they had 3 days at each track to accommodate all the attendees. 2 days of the entry program and 1 day of teh graduate program (requires attendance at one of the entry days or an accepted driving school)

There are many forum lurkers and posters who have attended - I would hazard a guess at over 50 on the AMG forums alone. Many have attended multiple times at different tracks.

Stay tuned for the 2006 Miami AMG Challenge report which I will post in the very near future
