MFest for AMG owners?

Is there a counterpart for us AMG owners / fans? My friends who are avid BMW owners are dragging me to Vegas for the MFest and it sure sounds like fun. I'm just kinda bummed we don't have one. Or so I believe.

Is it because M cars have longer history than their AMG counterparts?

For those who didn't know its a weekend at Vegas for all the M owners. Clubs, track events, discounted hotels, convoys and etc. Aftermarket companies sponsored the event.

This was just a local pre-meet. Imagine what's at the real thing...

MFest is at the Pallazo hotel Apr 16-18th, and will be at the track on Apr 17th. Come check out the fun. Powerchip and many other companies will be there with some great BMWs and some other exotics.

We can accomodate some Benz tunes at a discount since will already be in Vegas.

PM us if you are interested, so we can set you up for that weekend.

I think the best thing to do is to ask your dealer.

Thanks for your help, I already asked and he wasnt aware of it, so that is why I posted a real question, usually these forums are for information and advice.

I've never heard of anything comparable for AMGs - I think this is indicative of the inability of MB(USA) to effectively market themselves. I feel like for every commercial I see for BMW, Audi, etc. there is a noticeable deficit when it comes to MB / AMG.

-Just IMHO-

You guys are talking as if MFest is hosted by BMW and was started by BMW to market their cars. MFest was started by 1 guy who thought it would be great for them to all get together. Over the years it got big. The guy who organizes this did it as a part time thing, but I believe this year he said he was going to start doing this full time.
If people want to start organizing AMGfest or whatever it'd be cool. Vegas every year?

Sorry maybe it came out wrong. The reason I said that is because I believe only your dealer can sign you up.

It runs week of Apr 12 - 16, includes 2 days hotel stay and one full track day. Cost is free.

I believe it maybe similar to the event they had in Dallas couple years ago.

Ive been to 2 of the last 3 Mfests, and been to a bunch of their other meets and im good friends with one of the originators, who is actually a member of this board (thaichi808). One thing they stress is, it really doesn't matter what you drive, as long as you are an enthusiast and good people then that's all that matters.

When it comes to meets, they represent hard. I was at one of their weekly dinner meets in West LA 2 weeks ago, and id say at least 40 members showed up... and 3 mb's.. If you can get 40 mb's to show up to a meet, that' s pretty much a miracle..

There are actually a bunch of MB guys going to Mfest 4, but i don't think they are showing....

I am going to my first Mfest! and I am very happy to finally attend this event.

I think this event is for all kinds of people. Not just the ones who love M cars.
