Oktoberfest 2010: Elkhart Lake and Road America!

     Once again, we’re gathering at a historic track; racing began on the roads of Elkhart Lake in 1950, using local roads à la Watkins Glen, and the Road America track opened five years later.

Almost unchanged in half a century, the four-mile track is among the longest tracks in North America—and nestled in the Kettle Morraine, it is certainly one of the most scenic motorsports venues in the world. (Besides, Road America’s track food is considered a gourmet delight; the German-Scandinavian heritage of the region guarantees great brats and beer!)

     Our Oktoberfest closing banquet is slated for Friday, August 27, followed by BimmerMeet II on Saturday. In addition, we will have a bonus track day on Sunday, August 29.

     The host hotel is the Osthoff Resort in Elkhart Lake—and reservations are now open at 800 876-3399. Demand for rooms is high, so we have also added a block of rooms at Siebkens Resort (www.siebkens.com), home of the Stop-Inn Tavern, internationally known as “the best bar on the racing circuit.” For reservations at Siebkens call 920 876-2600.
In addition to our traditional Oktoberfest events, several tours of the local area are planned for 2010. The Oktoberfest 2010 schedule will be finalized and posted in early January.

For a sneak peak now—and for all the details later on—please visit our dedicated Oktoberfest website, www.bmwccaofest.org, and stay up to date on O’Fest news.

Oktoberfest junkies on a 24-hour O’Fest news cycle will want to subscribe to the O’Fest10 Mailing List. This is an announcement-only list. To subscribe, send a message to ofest10-request@bmwccaofest.org with the word Subscribe as the subject.
