You could always skip Vegas and come run with your buddies. What mods could you be talking about, my 2 cm30's and straight pipes.... If I'm going to stand a chance at your modded beast I'll need all the help I could get. Plus the only way you could take a bite is if you make the meal, now get over here!

The last time I checked I got slower .

Different game altogether , and those 1/2 second lights may be the end of the current king of Excelsior way
Don't worry about it Slurpee, I mean Juicee, the lights won't be a problem. The problem will be figuring how to run slower just so I could play with ya..... Plus you're giving me more credit then I deserve, I cut 1 second lights not .5...gosh, if you're going to make fun of me at least get it straight! I bet if you concentrated more on your launch and not so much on the lights you might have a 11 second pass already ...just phuckin with ya. It's going to be a blast and just make sure you show up to TNT day.

i hear you...but i wasn't talking about the bracket part. some of us would have to figure out a way to put a throttle stop to stay in the bracket.

I'm going to start a tentative list and feel free to add names to the list. As the day comes closer we'll just finalize.

Mo, if we get a big enough crowd maybe we could go for a 6 hour rental before TNT. Maybe from 10-5....that would be sick. This way it would make it worth while for the people traveling. Racing from 10-10 would be so fricken sick.....

Like I was saying, I'll bring my motorhome and we could have a big a$$ BBQ with all the amenities of home. Let's start spreading the word and try to organize a big event. You da man Mo GET-R-DONE!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember last year when we had all the sick a$$ MB's around the motorhome, people were in total awe!!!

How many of you guys would be interested in a private track rental. The cost will depend on how many cars we could get.

If the track is will let us do it, and we have enough interst, I'm willing to put in the time to make the private event happen.... it'll give everybody more track time, which means more practice, more activities, and definitely more fun Plus, it's not everyday that I get to hang out with such AMG Masters

A recap of what happend last time I was there.........




Mo! What's up bro. Here comes, from what I hear, another record breaking season for MB's and probably one the most competitive season yet.




Hammer, I'm thinking of coming down just to get some tips from you on your mini car detail post track day.




Track day= and then
Vegas = and then

Tough call Cant wait to see that beast of your down the 1320 again









Glad your making Josh since you will be the entertainment




No Sleepovers

Damn Sean now that you are going I really have no excuse, thanks a lot buddy.




and I thought Sacramento was far for me LOL. Now I really can't complain to Alan anymore about the drive

Glad your making it, more of a reason to go

I'm totally down! I think we should all get some practice runs in and once everyone feels dialed in make the wager for one pass. Pressure is what makes it fun! Having all day to do your best is great but adding the pressure of one pass makes it even better.

A Prius because I'm green
I wish I could make this but I don't have an AMG like everyone else. Can I bring my C class? I bet it's a good bracket car and will lack no heating issues!

It will be more like "Look Slurpee is a half track ahead....ahh, it's okay we still have time to beat him"

Quit being so mean Josh, Mike called and he said you're hurting his feelings.... I really hope this turns out to be a big event because it's going to be a blast!
