I know it's nearly a year from now, but I thought I'd mention that the Las Vegas Section of the Mercedes Benz club of America will be hosting StarFest 2006, next October 1 through 5. StarFest is the bi-annual national meeting of the MBCA, and the 2006 event will be a special one, as it marks the 50th Anniversary of the club.

The five days will be filled with track events, a concours, a rally, and numerous social activities. It's a bit too early for me to announce the exact schedule, but I can tell you that it will have a unique "Vegas flavor". I hope to be able to post updates with more information as planning proceeds, and also furnish a link to the StarFest 2006 web site once it is completed.

In the meantime, mark your calendars for this exciting event!
