There is an event in Palm Beach on Saturday May 10th. The event is called AMG Private Lounge Days, it is an official AMG sponsored event and is open to anyone with an AMG. There will be representatives from MB/AMG there, they bring out lots of cars, their entire fleet of AMG Driving Academy cars plus they usually race cars or other special vehicles there. They usually have givaways and other special surprises. They have an autocross event as well as ride along hot laps with AMG test drivers and instructors.

In addition to the above mentioned daytime festivities they have secured the PBIR drag strip from 7-10pm that evening. Due to insurance reason the drag strip event is an "unofficial" AMG event, wink wink nod nod. They have secured both lanes with full VHT prep. The event is only open to MB's and AMG, no exception will be made. This should be an epic event being that PBIR is ten minutes from Renntech. I will have all three of my Black Series dow there for this event.

Below is a quote I lifted from the Private Lounge


"Dear AMG Private Lounge members,

The AMG Private Lounge team is pleased to invite our members to join us for the first official AMG Private Lounge Gathering of 2014 at Palm Beach International Raceway on Saturday, May 10, 2014.

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE DETAILS BELOW AS THEY HAVE CHANGED FROM PAST EVENTS!

The event will take place from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. We set the late afternoon start time to allow for out of town guests to drive in, as well as to minimize overlaps with the AMG Driving Academy Private Lounge BASIC training that will be taking place on that day.

PLEASE SEE THE END OF THIS POST FOR INFORMATION ABOUT DRIVING YOUR AMG VEHICLE ON THE PBIR DRAG STRIP FROM 7:00 PM to 10 PM AND THE ASSOCIATED COSTS TO DO THIS.

We are very excited to welcome you and your guests to an afternoon of all things AMG, brought to you by the AMG Private Lounge. We think that Palm Beach International Raceway with a variety of AMG vehicles on track, courtesy of the AMG Driving Academy, will provide us a great background for what has the potential to be one of the largest gatherings of AMG vehicles on the East Coast of the US.

We will provide a designated parking area for AMG Private Lounge members where mixing and mingling with your fellow members is encouraged. We expect a big crowd of AMG vehicles and a photographer will be on hand to document the day.

As you will see below in the schedule, we plan to have AMG vehicles on display, AMG presentations, Q&A sessions, Hot Laps with Pro drivers and a chance to drive our AMG’s on an Auto Cross course. We also plan to have a couple of special guests and a couple of our usual surprises.

Members are welcome to bring a limited number of guests (up to 3) as long as they arrive with the PL member. Unfortunately, due to track requirements, children under the age of 15 are not permitted. Please keep in mind that this event will be conducted while an AMG Driving Academy event is also going on. Due to this, some areas of the track will be restricted and PL members will be asked to stay in designated areas. Under no circumstances will PL members be allowed to interfere with the AMG Driving Academy event that will happening at the same time.

As we know our members would like a chance to drive at this event, we have been able to set aside time from 5:30 PM to 7 PM where we will be able to use the AMG Driving Academy Auto Cross course. Due to the limed time that we have to use the course it will only be open to AMG Private Lounge members for participation. We will not be able to accommodate members' guests as drivers.

Each AMG Private Lounge member and guest in attendance will be also able to participate in a hot lap around the Palm Beach International Raceway road course in an AMG with a Pro driver driving, time permitting*. (*as noted above, due to the track time constraints, we may be limited to the number of people that we can take for hot laps at this event. The PL team will do everything possible to accommodate all PL members and their guests.)

Please keep in mind that the purpose of this event is to allow our Private Lounge members a chance to get together, view AMG vehicles and talk with the AMG Private Lounge Team. THIS IS NOT AN ON TRACK EVENT – MEMBERS WILL NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO DRIVE ON THE PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY TRACK AS A PART OF THIS EVENT.

There is no cost to attend but registration for this event is required. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.

The schedule will be as follows: (Subject to revision as required)

Tentative for me, but very interested.

jrcart

We have to get Ahmad down there for the event. This is in Earls backyard so I am sure he will have his monster down there as well.

blackbenzz

Let me know if you decide to go.
I would like to but my car is not done and I'm at the mercy of tuners. I was hoping to get the car painted after all the performance stuff was done but that seems to never happen

305-E55

This looks quite interesting

jrcart

Ahmad, Im confussed, Your car went 10.3 ealrlier this week, what other tuning needs to be done? This event is six weeks from tomorrow, that shoukd give people plenty of time to figure out logistics. Tell the EC guys about the event, head down a couple days early and have them tune it down there. I have access to a dyno in Palm Beach at Redline Motorsports. The Weistec guys will be there. Trying to get them to ship out their E63 S for the event.

Who is the guy with the CL that converted it to a twin turbo? Formsome reasonI thougt he was from Florida, we have to get him down there.

blackbenzz

Yes it went 10.3 on its first full pass but the tune still needs to be optimized. If it was that easy to get them to come tune it would already be done lol. If I drive all the way down there I'm staying for at least a week! My friend and I tried that whole go to the event early and get tuned there for tx2k14 and it didn't work out so well after a very long drive. I would want my car ready before driving down. I dont even have a trailer lol

Elliott and Miguel live in Florida and have fast E55s. The turbo CLS55 you're talking about is in Jersey

jrcart

That's insane, you went 10.3 on a non-optimum tune, you car is a monster man. Tell Jake and Jerry to get on the ball. You making this event would be good marketing for them, hell them being at the event would be good marketing. Weistec will be there and we all know Renntech will be there since this event is minutes away from their facility. I have read lots of thread with people complaining that AMG never does any events like the ones BMW puts on, this event looks lije it could be really cool

Can you reach out to the CLS55 turbo guy? I dont know his screename.

RedBullJnky

What are you bringing JRcart?

jrcart

My plans are to bring all three Black Series.

blackbenzz

Thanks man. Tune is so good the car didn't even want to start today lol. I want the car tuned more than anyone. Hopefully my friend will want to go too and let me use his trailer cuz I don't want to drive to Florida on slicks n skinnies lol. Glad Steve and the crew will be there. Don't care about spraytech

I asked him and he's interested in going
