More Information About Oktoberfast

OktoberFAST is a celebration of German Cars hosted by the Green Mountain Chapter of the BMW Car Club of America.  It is a fun-filled weekend for German car enthusiasts and their families. The wonderful roads and the Green Mountains of Vermont, in peak foliage colors, will set the scene for German car fans to drive and show their cars and to meet and interact with fellow German automobile aficionados.  The event is open to all German marques new, old, stock or highly modified of Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Volkswagen, Mini and BMW Motorcycles.  OktoberFAST 2007 events will include several choices for some incredible back road drives, a “fun rally,” a show and shine, an autocross run by the SCCV, (Sports Car Club of Vermont) a tech session with Mike Miller, and several social events. 

In addition to all the German Cars, OktoberFAST is partnered again with Craftproducers and their 25th Annual Stowe Art & Crafts Festival. This festival features 185 of the best regional artisans, hand selected as they are the pinnacle of their trades. Enjoy live musical performances and sip wine in the Wine Tasting Pavilion, and be amazed at the pottery, blown glass, furniture, clothing, weavings, leather, original art, and fabulous photography. There will also be a variety of gourmet food concessions. For details on the Stowe Art & Craft Festival, visit www.craftproducers.com.

The Green Mountain Chapter is committed to hosting an exciting and memorable event dedicated to the German car fanatic and hope to grow this event into the largest gathering of German cars in the Northeast. Our inaugural event, SOMMERFAST ’05, was small with just 75 cars attending and OktoberFAST in 2006 grew to over 130 cars.  Both events were a resounding success and we see no reason why 2007 will be any different.   
OktoberFAST will start Friday with a choice of several drives including some self guided tours, as well as a “Fun Rally” with participants searching for answers to numerous questions while along their route.  The day will wrap up with a cocktail party and buffet dinner.  Saturday will be the main event with a Show and Shine with People Choice Awards going to the favorite car for each make.  Saturday will also include a Tech Q&A with Mike Miller.  Saturday evening participants will be on their own for dinner, but there will be an evening social event at the Rusty Nail.  Sunday will include a short drive to Sugarbush, Vermont for an Autocross that will be hosted and run by the Sports Car Club of Vermont.
