That was my initial plan but there isnt enough interest. We are less than a month away and have less than 15 benzes signed up. Had over 40 people saying they were gonna come

Ahmad, just goes to show you one thing, talk is cheap! I guess we all know who the real players are, don't we? I figured you would have a few people back out, but only 15 M-B's so far...embarassing. By the looks of it there are going to be more "other makes" in attendance than M-B's. I know it's a long trek for the west coast guys, but to only have one guy committed thus far (Rarfinancial) is a little sad. The fact that there are only 7 guys from the east coast commited thus far is almost comical but actually kind of sad. What, these guys can't scrape up $100 and a tank of fuel for an afternoon of fun? Car poor? There are damn near as many guys traveling from Chicago and Michigan (803 miles from my doorstep to the track) than guys with a 100 mile or less trip to the track...crying shame.

Like I have said all along, "There Are Do'ers And There Are Dreamers!" Have fun wathing from the sidelines everyone, the rest of us are gonna have a blast!

Just an FYI, I have talked to a guy who owns a transport company who said he will have a some enclosed trailers out that way for SEMA and can give a good rate if any of you west coast guys want to transport your car to MIR. If anyone is interested let me know and I will put you in contact with him. It would be cheaper if there was a single pickup point

jrcart- We will have a blast regardless, trust me.

I think you'll see some more MB's sign up closer to the date. It seems like a lot more are planning on going, but just haven't paid the money yet.

jrcart

It's $104.00 and 3 minutes to PayPal it...what are they waiting for? I hope you are right!

Sysopz

I will be there with my '03 S600 and my buddy with his '03 S55.

Here is some incentive for you guys...

Jason and I are having our site www.absolutelydriven.com sponsor VHT sprayed all the way down the track.

These are tough economic times for some people, Jim.

chiromikey

hey ahmad,

you know how my situation played out ...but pm me the details on this.

jrcart

Like I said...Car poor! Not to be a d1ck, but if someone that lives on the east coast can't afford $104 dollars and a few bucks gas to drive to the track maybe they should not be driving AMG's in the first place, that is the definition of living beyond your means...aka car poor. I know the situation is different for guys coming from the midwest and especially the wester U.S, they are looking at expenses in the thousands of dollars to attend.

Now I am goingto sit and wait for all the negative backlash that is going to result from my 100% honest and true statement.

You can count me, my $104.00, and my 14 second E500 in.

Wait until you guys see what Santa brought me this morning

My excuse is that Paypal closed my account when I wouldn't let some scammer screw me out of my money. I got tired of the 1 1/2 months of constant back and forth with Paypal with no resolution. So I disputed the purchase with my credit card co and let them deal with it. Paypal really doesn't like it when you go that route...

I'll be there...just have to give Ahmad the cash next time I see him.

Hey Jim, I know what you got, It's a clear bra for your car to protect it from a long day of CLS abuse.. Santa just brought me a rear camera mount so I can see your (black ser.) go down the track Sorry man, I just had too

jrcart

I'm pretty sure the only time I'm going to see the back end of your car is if you post up a new sig pic that shows it! I am not losing to ANY 63's at this event....PERIOD. I'm thinking about getting some trophies made up, Fastest 65, fastest 55, Fastest E Class, Fastest CLK...etc. I'll get one for Most Miles Traveled, that way you won't go home empty handed
