Oktoberfest is in New Jersey this September!

There’s going to be a big BMW party in South Jersey this September (21st to 27th) and they’re expecting over a thousand participants over the 7 day event! BMWCCA’s Oktoberfest 2015 is going to be a week-long celebration of everything BMW. There will be something for everybody at Oktoberfest, from car shows to road rallies, autocross, driver schools, and great evening parties! The host hotel is Seaview Resort in Absecon and the CCA will be using both tracks at New Jersey Motorsports Park for 4 days!

We’re really excited that the week will feature a huge presence from BMW NA and other sponsors. BMW will bring a bunch of their historic race cars and offer laps around NJMP’s tracks in exchange for a charitable contribution to the BMWCCA Foundation. Charity lap drivers will include Brian Redman and Bill Auberlen, so maybe you can pick up some hot tips during your lap and then see how you do by participating in a driver school on the same track!

Brian and Bill will also be on hand Friday night at the closing banquet, which will be at Resorts International in Atlantic City. They’ll talk about racing BMW’s then and now. If you’ve ever heard either of them speak, you know it will be a very entertaining evening of tall tales and funny stories!

Things kick off on Monday the 21st with a charity golf outing at Seaview. Hole in one prizes include a two year lease on a new X5 and a fabulous BMW i8! Proceeds go to the BMWCCA Foundation, and each participant gets a goody bag of great stuff and a $1,000 certificate good for a discount on your next BMW!

Tuesday features a Concours d’Elegance on the front lawn at Seaview. As the week progresses, there you’ll have a chance to attend informative seminars and participate in autocross, rallies, gymkhana, driver schools, and more. The Seaview Resort will be hopping every night with car talk and great times!

You can look at the full schedule and information at http://ofest.bmwcca.org/. Come down for a couple of days or the whole week, but make sure you register to join in the fun! Over 500 people have already registered, so don’t miss out!

For those of you who are CCA members and have never been to O'fest, you don't want to miss this! You don't have to come for the whole week - you can pick and choose which events you want to attend. Come for a few days if that's all you can spare, but don't miss it!

For those of you who aren't CCA members, maybe you should join and check it out!

Get a hot lap in a famous 3.0 CSL or the ALMS E92 M3 - with Redman and Auberlen driving you around!

For you golfers, a new i8 for a hole in one prize! Even non-golfers should play in the outing for a chance at that!

Um, isn't "Octoberfest" usually held in October?
