Columbus Ohio Mercedes Events July 7-9

Columbus, Ohio Arthritis Auto Show Selected as MBCA Regional Event

MBA | Central Ohio Section has earned the opportunity to host an MBCA Regional Event! The last regional event we hosted was 20 years ago. We’re putting together a great event for Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts to enjoy.

We’re fortunate the Arthritis Foundation selected Mercedes-Benz as a featured marquee. It honors the 90th anniversary of the merger which formed the company as we know it today. As a featured marquee, the brand will be highlighted in all the show’s marketing and it allows the MBCA to add a little extra for our brand’s followers.

To begin with, as a featured marquee our area of the show field on Saturday will be in a prominent location. We have space reserved for 75 vehicles to be displayed.

Each class will have three trophies thanks to our event committee finding sponsors. There is also a Best of Show for Mercedes-Benz.

We’ll have two large tents in our display area to promote the MBCA.

We’ve organized an M-B Autocross on Sunday. Everyone who registers a Mercedes-Benz for the show will be invited to drive with our local section members. This will be run with the OSU Sports Car Club and on a large parking lot on The Ohio State University’s west campus.

What can you do to enjoy this event or get involved in making it a success? If you have a car to show then go to the event website and register today! As mentioned, space is limited. We’ll also need volunteers to staff the membership tent. If you have experience judging big shows, we can train you on the club’s Concours rules. And, don’t forget helping out at the autocross on Sunday! Contact Beth or Bernadette.

The Arthritis Foundation organizes a great 3-day event, so go to the web site at www.arthritisautoshow.com and check out the whole calendar and register!

July 9th Arthritis Foundation Classic Auto Show, Dublin, OH
The judged car show is Saturday. You’ll want to be early to get through registration and claim a good parking spot on our grassy knoll. Plan to stay through the trophy presentations in the afternoon. Then stay even later for the live concert afterwards. This really is a party atmosphere.

July 10th AutoCross with MBCA, Columbus, OH
Drive your Mercedes-Benz around a parking lot course marked with orange cones for time. We’ll have instructors available for novices. We only have a few loaner helmets (required equipment), so bring your own if you can. These are fun events where you learn how your vehicle handles at or past its limits, which is a great learning experience. All this is done in a safe and controlled environment. More details in the next issue of Benz Bugle. Contact Rodd Masteller at 740-881-0159 or rmasteller@columbus.rr.com if you have questions.
