Michael/Noah/fellow rabids,
You know I'm "in" for any event like this that is geographically "do-able" from the ATL area. Depends on how many we can attract but should we get enough we should certainly offer separate classes for the regular models vs the "big boys" (tuner cars, 500E's, 16v's, etc) Perhaps we can get Benzmac to bring the 16v for the autocross... Given all the debate that has gone on, I'd like to see how the C36 vs C43 plays out. The C-AMG's wont catch the 500E's in the acceleration runs (especially under cold ambient conditions) but they will not be that far back. Depending on how tight the autocross course is will determine how much of an advantage the C's have over the 500E's there. Overall though, it should be a darn close contest.
Even if we don't have many non-hardcore cars they can still be made competitive in "eliminator" type rounds. (anyone who has drag raced knows what I'm talking about...)
In any event, hopefully there will be plenty of pics, timeslips, and fun. When all the tiresmoke has cleared we'd be happy to post results on MercedesShop.
