AMGs in Richmond, VA

Any AMG owners in the Central VA area? I've seen a couple around, but didn't know if anyone ever went to the track or did much else as an enthusiast (I'd LOVE to race something besides a damn mustang GT)

And no, guy with the CLK430 "AMG", I'm not referring to you

But really, any Richmonders on here, lets meet up!

Give me a couple months and we can run. Were having a "shootout" in November at MIR. You should come up to that and see what you run.

Where's MIR? I've only ever gone to VA. Motorsports Park in Petersburg (Dinwiddie) which is a half hour south of here. I don't count my recent trip to Richmond Dragway as an actual occurrance, as I'm not positive that's an actual track, or their timing is much more than a stopwatch.

I'd love to go somewhere with another Mercedes around though, I've been getting snickered at all alone so far, till i make a pass of course

Haha, this reminds me the other day when my neighbor was talking to me about my car... He mentioned that he had a C-Class AMG before. I asked which one and he replied "C230 AMG".

I see it in my office parking lot most saturdays, I want to park beside him and just wait around and walk out when I see the guy leaving, see if I can strike up a conversation, maybe I've been missing out on an entire AMG segment this whole time

He probably knows the guy with the CLS500 AMG I saw the other day, too.

I guess when someone wrecks a real AMG the first things to go in the junkyard are the badges

Just sold my S65 and I never saw another AMG at Richmond or VA Motorsports Park. MIRis the place to go if you want to see other AMGs. It was fun to run an 11.5-11.6 and see people's reaction to this big sedan running trap speeds in the 125mph range.

The only tracks close by is either Summit Point, and Maryland International Raceway. Oh, and their is a dragstrip in Manassas.
