Well, I truly jinxed myself last issue. Turns out I get to Daytona for the
24 hour race and the cold from DC followed me to Florida!
It was the coldest race I've ever attended; with wind chills in the teens,
I was truly miserable. Luckily, the weather was better after the race so
I could enjoy a day in somewhat decent temps. However, now that
Spring is here, all those cold weather days are behind us! We have
so many cool events planned this year, it's really turning into the best
year ever for NCC. As always with the first Sunday in May comes
our Deutsche Marque Concours d'Elegance. The finest in German
automotive machinery from BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche will all be
on display at the beautiful Occoquan Regional Park. Last year was our
first at this Lorton, VA location, and while a little far from those
residing in MD, it's a significantly better facility for this type of show.
Hope to see you there!
The one event I'm truly hyped up for is our visit to the new BMW
Vehicle Distribution Center (VDC) in Baltimore. With supply chains
around the world getting disrupted, this is the perfect time to check out
one of the most important places that cars go when imported into the
US. Vehicles get offloaded from the massive cargo ships, repaired,
and distributed to hundreds of BMW dealers around the east coast.
This is the first CCA event at the Baltimore VDC with both NCC and
M chapters hosting this event with BMW NA. Not only will we get
production demonstrations and behind-the-scenes tours of the
facility, but we will also celebrate the 50th anniversary of M and the
huge launch of two new electric vehicles (EV). BMW product
managers will illustrate the technology in both M and EV vehicles, so
we can all geek out over our favorite brand. This is a truly one-of-akind
event that only true car enthusiasts will love!
While this regional VDC event is expected to be a huge hit, the
biggest NCC event of the year, our Annual Membership Meeting, will
take place on Sunday, May 22nd. We're headed back to Smokey Glen
Farms in Gaithersburg, MD after last year's incredible turnout and
positive feedback. Shine up the cars, bring the family (playground
and games included!), grab some BBQ, and get ready to enjoy
a day with your fellow chapter members. We'll also have
plenty of prizes to giveaway, too, so good luck to everyone!
Finally, we're headed for another year of 100+ event days for
this chapter (assuming no more covid outbreaks). It's a testament
to our volunteers who plan and run every event. These are all
volunteer positions, no one gets paid to do anything. We do this
because we love the camaraderie and enjoy what we do. The cars are
just one common thread that brings us together initially, but we stick
around for the people; it's the people who make this club so special.
If you're new to CCA or NCC, come out to an event and become active.
We have weekly socials across our region where the only test you have
to pass is to show up. You don't need an E30 M3 or 500 horsepower
car to make an impression; just come hang out. We'll make you feel
welcomed and appreciated; we all can remember our first club event.
Once you've made a few friends, it gets infectious; you'll want to come
out to other events. There's no better place to start than right now,
so I hope to meet you at an event soon.
Paul Seto
