Talking StarFest 2010 - Sept 24 to 29 - Winchester VA

StarFest®2010, the event Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts have been waiting for, is being held September 24 to 29 in Winchester VA.

StarFest® has not been held east of the Mississippi since 2004. This brings the event back to where it all started in 1988, Winchester and Summit Point Raceway. StarFest® is the largest gathering Mercedes-Benz owners and enthusiasts in the USA! StarFest® offers something for everyone: a Mercedes-Benz Concours d’Elegance, technical seminars and hands-on clinics, a road rally, defensive driving school, autocross and high-performance driving schools, and acceleration runs and timed laps on Summit Point’s main track. There is also plenty of socializing, with parties, banquets, off-site trips, even non-driving events for those who may not be so interested in automobiles. StarFest® is an event put on by Mercedes-Benz Club of America for Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts...just like YOU!

While participating in events during StarFest®, attendees can earn point and win awards, leading up to the final banquet where the Mercedes-Benz USA High Point Trophy is presented.

How can you be involved? It’s very simple. Just register, show up, and participate! If you are not an MBCA member, it is very easy to join.

You do not have to attend every single StarFest® event. You may pick and choose what you want to do. Basic registration offers you the Concours Prep Clinics on Friday, the MBCA Flea Market, to buy or sell, the Welcome Reception on Friday night, be a spectator at the Mercedes-Benz Concours d’Elegance and attend the technical seminars during the day on Saturday as well as the Driver’s Reception Sunday Night. For just a little more money (see the www.starfest2010.org website for more info) you can attend one or both of the banquets, attend the off-site tours, or take the defensive driving class. You may decide to participate in the autocross and even try out one of the high-performance events at Summit Point Raceway! We have loaner helmets, and instructors who will be by your side while you are out there!

How about a nice fall weekend in the country? Stay at one of the Marriott hotels, go on the road rally, attend the Concours, attend the Concours Awards Banquet. Or you just want to attend the M-B only autocross, or the track events at Summit Point Raceway, you can do that! Its all up to you, and its your choice! This event is put on so that you can enjoy your Mercedes-Benz even more than you do already!
