Anyone going? I'm actually going to make an effort to go. I have good reason ... my girlfriend's step mom and two of her nieces are going to be visiting so it will give me a chance to escape the estrogen-dome that my house will be.

I'm going to try to get a buddy of mine with his '12 CLS63 to join me too.

I was hoping to have my GS convertible finished by then...but it's just now rolling into paint so that will probably be another month or two still.

That was the only car I got lined up against that night that I was scared of...and was HOPING to get lined up against. Last run of the night so I was pretty soaked...but I still got him good.

Craig - Charlie (my buddy with the CLS63) and I can meet you guys where ever works for you. BIP is great for me...literally around the corner from my house. But if you just want to meet up there, that works too.

Psyched.

Who did your calipers? <want>

Charlie will be with me with his car...and it really is sick. It's a total leap forward from our beasts.

He's bone stock. He'll probably keep it that way for a bit.

He racked up an obscene amount of tickets last year in his SL63...and now drives a Jeep 4 door as his DD just to try to keep the tickets down.

BIP works for us!

I cant leave that early, I can probably be at the shop around 8.30am...


That is late though as the lots will be full, you guys should plan to be at the show around 7.30am to get a good spot.

I just cant brake away earlier than that.
