AMG Track day NHIS

[Scotts SLK]

Hey all,

I would like to get a group of AMG Power guys and gals involved with the track events in our area. We have many great and historic road courses here in the North East, and all can be expirianced in your car in a safe enviorment.

On August 28th there will be an event with the SCDA group at NHIS. I would like to see some AMG's there, as very few have ever shown up. This is safe and controled driving on the 1.6 mile course, with an instructor, for over 2 hours of on the track driving and 2 horus of classroom time.

No other group is as well run as SCDA. I have run with most, and for starting out, these guys are the best.

The cost of the event is $235, an amazing deal considering the amount of track time you get.

If f your are interested, download an application here:

Hope to see some of you there!!!

Wow, that's awesome! I'm coming back from 2 weeks in Europe in the middle of the week before, the AMG Fest is that weekend and I'll be doing the AutoX'ing Sunday. I don't know if I can swing this Monday but it's the most interesting thing I've ever seen come along in the Mercedes circles! Thank you for the open invite, and I'm contemplating.

Ill be in Vegas for SEMA at for the Nov 3rd event but I DEF think I would do that 20th event... how does this compare in pricing to SCCA solo2 events?

[Scotts SLK]

Well... You have 2 hours ON TRACK, vs 2 - 5 min on course. Speeds are tripled. You will need a helmet that is Snell 95 aproved, like you do in autox.

[55fanatic]

where can those be purchased?

[Scotts SLK]

Here is a link to what I think is the best open face on the market:

:lol:

[Scotts SLK]

Week from today!!! :P

[scruffyone]

Got my confirmation. Be there rain or shine. Hope you are bringing extra chairs cuz my back and feet are fekkin toast from the Atlanta show. 8:00 to 6:00 is rude for us mom and pops.

[c55m8o]

Oh shit ... Pete, when I was talking to you on the phone the last time, I thought this already happended. I'm straightened out now.

[55fanatic]

This is what I was talking bout, there will also be another one in NY somewhere

[scruffyone]

It was freekin wicked pissaarrrr! I got passed by a Vette and a Suburu in the first session as I was learning the course, after that I found the line and ate the track up. The Vette, Suburu, and even a NSX got eaten after that. The 997TT really gave me a good time and saved my butt more than a few times when I got a bit hot. Lime Rock is coming up Sept 5th and I think I'm going to do it.

[Scotts SLK]

Good seeing you there Scruffy.

Was a good day!

[RI55]

Anyone doing Lime Rock on the 5th?

[RI55]

I got to get off my ass and get a helmet

[Scotts SLK]

I cant make the 5th. I wish I could. My best track. :)

[RI55]

Have fun guys. Awsome group of guys at SCDA, and they put on a hell of an event!

[55fanatic]

how hard do you run? Am I going to burn through a set of tires and brakes on my E?

[RI55]

Will I end up with "gold" calipers?

[scruffyone]

Pete, run as hard as you want, and as hard as the instructor will let you. Make sure you get a hotel room for the night before, Interlaken Inn is good and has rooms where you can keep an eye on your car. They will most likely put you in novice group if you have no prior experience. Do it! www.scda1.com (http://www.scda1.com) You do not need a 997TT or AMG to have fun because less powerfull cars will force you to work more on your line to go fast and smooth, carry more speed through the corners. Like Scott SLK said, great group of people.
A big Thank You to Scott SLK for bringing this to us. Drive fast in a safe enviorment, doesn't get any better than that.

Time to keep our eyes on the weather at Lakeville, Ct. Long range seems to be overcast(good) with maybe 40% chance of showers(bad).

[Scotts SLK]

Push the car as hard as you would like. Your car will tell you when it is starting to let its self go. However, if you do Novice, and I would recomend it, I do not think you will burn through a set of tires or brakes. I would be more worried about your trany cooling down after a run. Be sure to take the car around the infield a few times before parking it.
