We invite you to use the news and information links above to help you get the most out of your membership in our active local section. Should you have any questions or need to communicate with us, please click on the "Contact Us" link above. The July-August issue of our newsletter STAR TRACKS 2010 is newly available online.
Please check out our "Schedule of Events"update. The 47th Annual June Jamboree will be held at Montvale, NJ on Saturday, June 19, 2010. This is the longest running car show event for the MBCA. Come join us for this fun-filled day. The Concours class cars will be judged by teams of judges according to the updated MBCA National rules. Concours cars will need to be cleaned and detailed inside and out. They will be judged in four categories: 1 - Interior, upholstery, trunk, hard top, soft top; 2 - Chrome, plastic, rubber, glass, lights, trim; 3 - Engine compartment; 4 - Exterior paint, finish, bodywork. The chassis, underbody, and exhaust systems will NOT be judged in this event. Popular Vote cars need only to be clean and presentable. The suggestion for Popular Vote cars is to give "the baby a bath" and come out and enjoy the day. Pre-registration is greatly appreciated as it allows the judges to have the field set up more accurately. Pre-registration for Concours and Popular Vote is $45 prior to June 14, 2010. Registrations after that date and on the day of the event will be $55 per car. Meals and facilities are $10 per person for those not registering a vehicle, (children under 12 - no charge). Concours cars will be placed in the classes by body style and not year according to MBCA guidelines and rules. Popular Vote cars will be divided into 7 categories: New - 2006-present; Modern Sedan - 1996 - 2005; Modern Sport - 1996 - 2005; Old Sedan - 1986 - 1995; Old Sport - 1986 - 1995; Vintage Sedan - pre 1986; and Vintage Sport - pre 1986. Registration will begin at 8:00 AM in the lobby of MBUSA. If you are registering or have registered a vehicle for the Jamboree, please drive up and park outside while you register and pick up your packet. After you receive your registration packet, please proceed around the circular driveway in order to park your car. All vehicles entered into the Jamboree - both Concours and Popular will have their picture taken by the Mercedes Benz sign before proceeding to their assigned parking space. You will then be directed as to where to park your vehicle. Your assigned parking slot will be on the window placard for your car, this will help the parking lot guides to direct you to the correct area. If you are not registering a vehicle, please DO NOT drive up to the registration area; please follow the signs and park in the general parking area. After parking, please come in and let the registrars know that you are here and pick up your name tag and ticket for lunch.
