E55s at AMG Challenge (Fontana)

Dunno if word has spread, but we had a mishap with one of the SDCrew. Final Score was R = 1, E63 = 0

Who ever gets it will put it out for bid, from the looks, the front clip could be 100% intact.

That thing is all twisted up. Shows you what happens at 150mph!! Definitely a testiment to the car's design. It could easily have started rolling or worse.

I got plenty of seat time in a standard E63 and an 030 one and I gotta be honest and say I am not as impressed with the package. I guess it is all the more reason to go with a Quaiffe (sp?) LSD, versus the 40% lock that the E63-030 has. I also have my hang ups with 19s.

No doubt about it. Racing has its inherent risks and we all take them no matter where we do it. R took it like a champ. He had a positive attitude through it all. Personally, I'd be pretty shook up after that kind of hit. Just doing the laps on the speedway were pretty intense, especially trying to squeeze that last mile an hour out of it. To lose control and come back for more is brave. I would have called it a day.

By the way, the CL63 drives like BUTTER!! It is an amazing ride for the weight.
