Come out and join us for two days of fun driving on Summit Point's Shenandoah Circuit - a challenging course billed as a "dimensional model of the Nurburgring." We will have instructors on hand to help you learn this challenging road course. You do not have to be a member of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America to participate in this event and you can drive any street legal car you own as long as it can pass the required pre-event technical inspection (independent shop or dealer). Some open-top vehicles will also need to meet specific safety requirements; please contact the event registrar directly if your car falls into this category.
The cost for this event $350 for both days or $200 for one.

Can't wait to see Ron's and Jason's new cars out on the track, as well as hear how things are going with Matt and W2W. Matt you should keep a blog on the transition to wheel to wheel and share your experiences and race results.
Sadly (or perhaps happily) I heard David is thinking about selling the Teg for a car that can be converted to race W2W in a spec series. I know that's gotta be tough after spending an entire year building the turbo kit and installing related parts. Just imagine if he could have continued with the build by adding an LSD and wing...he was already eating AMGs and Porsches...
So my car keeps making a clicking/popping sound when I am in first gear and release the clutch. It started doing it over a year or two ago, and was intermittent, but now it does it pretty much every time. Sometimes it even makes several distinct multiple clicks when accelerating now, especially when on an incline of any type, either forwards or backwards. I first noticed this happening occasionally after my car was towed a couple years back..I don't remember noticing it before that. I was backed into the spot the night it was towed, and back then I tended to leave the car in neutral and use the e-brake. Any ideas what it could be?

I'm hauling the car to the shop tomorrow for the short block swap, ACT flywheel, motor mounts and clutch. Hope to be back on the track in the next 30 days. . .
Matt, tell us about your weekend!

Only certain organizations allow it, usually on the Shenandoah circuit. I wouldn't sign up for an event without confirming beforehand the stock roll hoops are ok.
