Here's the email I got this morning

Hi
We would be interested in featuring the AMG. We plan on shooting most
of our stories on Fri.
Would you let our Host, Tanner Foust drive? Please send me your
contact info. Including cell#.
Thx.

even though we will not have a MB with us at the event, you guys are more than welcome to pit with us.

We usually pit at or just past the 1/2mile mark, we will have a couple trailers and a couple Yellow cars ( GT2 + Rs6 ) , we can have a little German haven among all the America muscle cars that will be ganging up on us!

Wow. Sorry to hear your bad luck. I am sure you will be able to work through it in time for the Fall event, yes???

I just released a couple rooms at the Best Western in Beeville, if anyone needs / wants them.

The guys at Evosport are working with me remotely via phone and internet to try to diagnose and rectify the charging/voltage issue my car is experiencing. The good news is that it only seems to be happing while on the NOS, so something in the system is causing a draw on the electrical system. I am happy to say the car is now running great N/A. They found a couple things that we are going to be trying later today, if it corrects the issue I will most likely be back on for the Texas Mile event Friday.

...I do know that those 6 cylinder Turbo P cars can make upwards of 700rwhp rather easily...
Watch out for those Porsches.

29 pounds of boost and some mighty clever tweaks earned this gent the current ‘street legal’ record of ~226 mph.

Ya’ll have fun.

And ALWAYS parked right up front while the valet puts the ricer hoopties 'round the corner, next to the rest of the Asian imports As far as how fast I was able to run the 1/4 mile...I did it in the exact same time as the factory numbers. But as I've said before, 1/4 mile is not my thing at all. I'd be happy to race you on a road course Ahmad.

Benzgal - My comment was toungue-in-cheek and not directed at you
