Planning continues at a rapid pace for Oktoberfest 2008, and it looks like this is going to be a memorable event.
There is already a buzz about the event around the country. It's a gorgeous location and September in New York's Finger Lakes Region is a great time to be there. The area is famous for its wineries and we'll take advantage of that. Watkins Glen was the site of the first post-World War II road racing in the U.S. You can still drive (at legal speeds) the original 6+ mile road course through the village and up around the surrounding hills and countryside. If you sign up for the driving schools or club races, you'll be on the same track that was home to the United States Grand Prix for many years, and still hosts the NASCAR Sprint Cup series, Rolex Grand Am endurance race, Speed World Challenge, and more. Whether you participate in the driving events, show off your car, compete in the Club Races, meet your BMW CCA friends (and make new ones), explore Watkins Glen State Park, take a wine tour, or just enjoy the Finger Lakes Region, we have what you need for an terrific trip. And wait until you see where we're holding some of the evening receptions and dinners. All the fun of a traditional Oktoberfest, but with some new twists, you won't want to miss!
