I don't know... Personally will probably skip that unless others here are planning on going. Rather look for a AMG specific meet. SCS is always hard to meet others and park together.

I'm quoting myself and kicking myself at the same time sl65_rockford. I was in Rockford this weekend on Sunday. We headed over to Byron Dragway. It was my first time at the track and it was awesome!

I am heading back this weekend as well. Anyone else who is out that way and wants to race, look for a black C63. I'll be down there Saturday morning bright and early. I might even stay for Sunday depending on how things go.

Hey guys. Just an FYI, I'm going to post my winter tires in the Pay it forward thread. As you may or may not know, I sold my E63 and sure don't need snow tires as I expect my Ford Raptor will do just fine in Chicago snow. So watch for the post if someone wants them. If you REALLY REALLY want them and don't want to deal with the PIF thread, PM me super quick.

Nice Runs! One thing that always makes me scratch my head. My PB is 11.86 @ 121.3. How do I go 3 tenths slower in ET, but over 3 miles an hour higher trap speed? The only thing I can think of is I need a set of drag radials.

I hope there is nothing serious with your tranny.

I need some help from the Chicago peeps this weekend. Is it too much to ask to beat the Colts in your opener? I have been a Colts fan for years having lived in Indy for a long time. Now that I live in Wisconsin, I am a... Denver fan. Go figure right? I think Ersay the owner of the Colts, made a bad decision with one of the greatest QBs of all times. Where Peyton goes, so do I.

Maybe Everyone should clear their calendars now for Sept. 29th. We do need to get together before winter.

Be forewarned, football is HUGE is Wisconsin. You go around supporting another team and you might be exiled.
