2004 E55 AMG
I believe the hhelmet has to be SNELL certified and some tracks do look for the date stamp. I believe it's no good if it's older than two years. Regarding passengers, NHRA ruls state that cars running 14.00 or higher can carry a passenger, probably at the track's discretion. I took a passenger on a few runs and still ran like a 13.7 letting off and hitting the brakes right after the 1/8th mile.

So I could take a passenger to get the launch down then sandbag a little bit until I get the hang of it. sounds pretty simple to me

People race with a passenger all the time at PBIR. Just enjoy yourself and have fun. The more fun you have the faster your car will go.

No Morocco for me in the past. All I heard about was this beast of a German grocery getter that laid waste to all comers. i was too afraid to take my little roadster out there. Then I heard there is a place with damn good pizza and cold beer. i am there!

You within range of the track in Morocco? I would love to put some faces next to some names here on MBWorld.



Off topic but My E55 might not be too lonely here in the next couple of days...

You have a very nice car for your age. Remember to respect her, she will bite you when your least expecting. And remember to keep your racing on the track. You can beat pretty much any other kid your age, so don't bother! Trust me it's not worth it. I had a WS6 trans am when I was 17

I'm in for the track day at us41

QUOTE=E55Bullet;5268709]Curt is coming from Milwaukee area and I'm going from Lafayette, IN (Purdue university)

I will probably talk jake into doing a Eurocharged track event where we rent out the track to invited guest only. I think there would be enough interest in the Chicago area that if we all chipped in we could get this paid for.

This is just an idea for now, but either way curt and I will be going one Sunday.

I would love to help you out and teach you how to run your car. If we get foggy we can even swap out wheels and I'll let you and curt try out my drag radials (world of difference)
