tjc, thanks for the "heads up". I am now enrolled in the Las Vegas challenge. I am hopeful that there will be a CLS 55 or two around, as mine should be coming sometime in May. (For now, I have to make do with my 2004 E 55.)

FWIW, I went to the AMG Challenge at Pocono last year.

AMG Lime Rock event - lodging?
Now that I'm signed up and confirmed for Lime Rock on 8/15 (thanks for the link), where are some places to stay? Only thing I found so far is a lot of B&Bs.
Thinking of staying in Great Barrington, MA (20mi north of the track per the map). Found a Days Inn and looks like ample restaurants in the area.
Anyone have previous experience with lodging/food near Lime Rock? I live in NH so I'm coming in Sunday and probably leaving Tuesday morning.
Thanks!

I am staying at the Interlaken Inn. Click onto the Links page on the track's website and you will find it. I have stayed there before. They have a $129 per night special for track events. They are two minutes from the track.

Confirmed at Limerock on 8/17. See you guys there. At least I wasn't wait listed this year. Can't wait for the experience as the challenge was a great time.
