I bet that Eurocharged would make their prescence known at an event like this. This is there core business. Definitely wouldn't know about sponsors until everything gets finalized by way of date/time etc.
At the last MB track daywe had at the end of October at MIR, there were probably 50ish MB/BMWs there, and a handful of others. I would be willing to bet that something like that could draw a decent crowd...maybe 100 cars. Which would not be too many and you would still be able to get a ton of runs in.
Would you just do open runs, for best ET/MPH in a class (i.e. 3-series v C/CL-class / 5-series v. E-class / 6-series v. SL-class / 7-series v. S-class / BMW Zs v SLK/SRT6 )
...or would you do heads up racing? or how about bracket racing?
i'm just throwing ideas out there, of how you can truly get a "winner" out of it instead of just another track day.
Matt,
I will call you regarding a possible partnership with this. I know I wont be able to do this alone. This will require a ton of work to make it a good event that could grow. I would like to get this going on both the MB and the BMW boards as well. Eurocharged would be the first one I'd call!
The event would be strictly Mercedes and BMW's. This is a showdown if you will. lol. If your car has MB or BMW parts on it, you are welcome.
No stragglers. They are more than welcome to come to the event, but to enter would require you drive a MB or BMW. Also, although this would be a fun day, it would also be a very competitive day for both parties. There will be cash prizes to the winners in each event and maybe a nice trophy for the winners of the car shows? As for race classes, something like this.....
-Bracket Classes (Open to all MB and BMW's) 3 classes......
12.99 - UP
10.00 - 12.99
10.00 - Under - If there are not enough cars under 10 sec, then they would be moved to the next bracket up which would be the 10.00-12.99 bracket. Depending on the response, I may add another bracket......
Heads Up Classes would have to be worked on, but would include of course N/A, FI etc etc....
The car show would be for fun. No money involved, but maybe some prizes/trophies given out.
I am just throwing some ideas out for now. Matt, I will call you at some point.
