Haha...I am going to need all the help I can get to hustle my M3 down the track!!

Don't worry guys. Like Ahmad said, these rentals are the absolute best place to learn. There is no pressure, you can run single lane, you don't have to worry about cutting a bad light.....

There will be more than enough people giving you tips. This is a very experienced and knowledgeable group that we have at these rentals.

I can guarantee you'll have great time, and most likely get hooked. :"y

Looks like there are alot of NY guys coming down. I think you all should coordinate a meet point and caravan down. That sounds like a ton of fun!

It will be a blast. I bet you will be shocked at how much you improve from your fast pass of the day to the last pass of the day. Trying to beat personal bests make it so much fun

You can drive the CLK430 down and use it for class lol. My nitrous is never unhooked, I have the remote setup with unlimited supply. They call me the dentist cuz my nitrous setup is so sick lol

Good luck all and be safe!
Thanks Alan. If everything works out it should do it but nothings easy. I know your car will be in the 10.5x's soon. You just keep going faster!

I think you have me mixed up with another person... I blew my head gasket 3 runs in at our november famoso drag event. (west coast) I got it fixed and decided to redo my exhaust at the same time. Had it retuned and now I'm ready for another go.

I don't have a SL600. Only my W211.

Either way I will be there with something.

I just got a call from MIR and they made a mistake with scheduling. They have some kind of banquet the night of Feb. 27th...

THE TRACK DAY IS MOVED TO SUNDAY FEB. 28th!!! I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone.

That's a good idea, I'm down. We should meet up somewhere.


Damnit, Ahmad, you are going to make me pull the trigger on some DRs sooner than I wanted. F.

I'm in. Always up for a good time. Now I just have to repair my secondary head cover leak. No biggie, a tube of RTV, some paper towels, a little scraping, no worries.

Like I said I'm down.
