Starfest, MBCA's national meet, is in Scottsdale, AZ this year. Is anyone planning on going? I'm thinking of attending with the C36 AMG.

StarFest is held every other year, and Arizona is celebrating it's Centennial this year. The hotel and concours will be at the famed Arizona Biltmore Resort and track events about 20 miles away at Firebird International Raceway.

Interesting. I might just grace the place with my presence, even though I no longer possess one.

I'm assuming since you're local, that's a yes.

Jim, will you be doing both the concours and track events? I'd love to see how that car does on a road course.

If you need any info about the event, let me know.

Here's the prototype for the StarFest 2012 grill badge

Oh wow that is neat. Sold the C36 so I don't know what to bring. I guess it depends on what's in inventory.

Four weeks left till StarFest 2012 sets up shop at the Arizona Biltmore Resort.

Still gonna be hot. I wonder why they don't do it in November, or February?

Getting people to travel around the holidays can be problematic.

Will be there with a large group from OC.

The big mystery at the event . . . what cars the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center will be bringing. As of yesterday, they were still mulling it over.

and I can't make it. The person who normally looks over the shop while I'm gone is recovering from surgery.
