Know of AMG or Merc Racing Clubs?

folks: does anyone know the best source for us to spend a day or a few hours on an AMG friendly track for us to blow it out a bit?

I.e. are there any AMG or Mercedes Racing clubs I could join to get some track time?

thnx

Jim, I think he may be thinking of road racing and not dragging? If it is road racing there are some manufacturer focused clubs that sometimes open up DE days to other cars like PCA, BMW club etc. There are also other c ompanies that offer track time. Just saw one the other day called hooked on driving. You can check out their web page for dates and places. I think they're at pocono early Oct. There are other companies as well but i'm drawing a blank right now.

*****!! Hope I didn't steer you wrong my friend.

He PM'd me and told me he already signed up for the event.

My apologies if I gave you the wrong info and you were looking for circuit tracks.
