I would definitely like to do this, too. Preferably at Pocono.

Did anyone go to the "White knuckle challenges" that were at various places? No AMGs, but the full "normal" MB lineup, which was fun.

I found out that this will likely happen in 2004, but I don't have any dates or locations yet.

AMG will do this again; they sell it out every time. They are considering an expansion to a two-day event.

I felt like a total idiot for not signing up for the poconos event last year. I will not miss this chance again, after seeing Dr. Chill's photos last year (I wonder if they were lost during the server crash earlier this year?).

I too loved Dr. Chill's picts from last year and I called MBUSA to see when and where other events were going to be held. They told me that they were done for '03 but will have another one in '04, no dates and places were yet available.

Only problem was that they are "by invitation" events only. I asked how to get on the invite list and she told me to speak to my local MB dealer.

I haven't checked into it lately.

I got an invite last year, even tho I didn't purchase from an MB dealer. I do always have the car serviced by a dealer though. That's probably how they get names: "Give me anyone who does business with X dealer that owns an AMG". Just speculation.

I received an invitation by being signed up on the MBUSA owners registry on MBUSA.com. If you receive an invite, respond immediately because it fills up quickly. I probably won't do it again because it's more fun driving my own car on the track faster and harder than they let you.
