What a weekend. Things started off on Saturday morning when Linton got to my house to go to the Mercedes C Drive event in DC. Thanks goodness for nav, cause it wasn’t the easiest place to find as Venkat will attest to
Anyway, there we met up with Pete and Venkat arrived a bit later, but just in time to jump in the last car of our group for the city drive. Basically it was a follow the leader setup where we drove C-class Mercedes, most with AMG engines through DC.

That was fun, but the real excitement came after taking a bus to the second course, an autocross track. After instructions, we all got two laps around a course. The first to get a feel for the track, the second to go all out. I must admit, I wish they has timers like the Mazda event last year, but in all, it was fun (no cones were injured this time
Sunday a few of use went biking on a trail Lindsay told us about. It was quite tame, but ended in a visit to the park nature center which was quite informative.
Here are some pics:
