Yeah, that is the route to AVOID. Taking 147 up to I180 to Williamsport then 15 up the rest of the way is the trick. 147 is on the other side of the river from 15 and is way more fun IMHO. Being East of the river gets you out of the congestion and into small town America like in the post cards.

The blue background is not too bright for my old eyes.
With so many events taking place each day, it would be helpful to have the time each event will take place. For instance, will I have time to attend the Reception at Logan Winery if I want to do the drivers school the same day? Will the TSD rally Saturday end in time to attend the club race? I realize these times probably haven't been established yet, but once they are known they should be added to this webpage.
For many years now the Oktoberfest autocross has had M3s run one day and all other models run the other day. But participants never seem to be told which day is which until just before the event. This would be quite helpful to know for planning purposes.
I assume the organizers, once the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel fills up, hope the overflow will book at one of the Corning/Horseheads hotels. But will there be a listing of alternative lodging in the Watkins Glen village?

Another worthwhile stop in downtown Williamsport is the Bullfrog Brewpub.

We'll post times. There will be enough time to get from the autocross or DE to the reception. Showering may be another question. The rally meetings will be at the reception.
Not sure when reservations will be accepted.
They need to finish construction.
There are two other hotels nearby.
We look to officially launch the website at the end of the month.
It will be a work in progress until the very last day.
It's this image at the top of every screen that I think is a bit too large: http://www.bmwccaofest.org/images/ofestbanner.gif
On my browser, it takes up about 2/3rds of the screen and you have to scroll down to see any content.

Might be nice of the site was updated to tell us when the main hotel will be taking reservations and the status of the hotels as they fill up.
How many room nights does Oktoberfest book on average per day?
Dave Apker and the collies
The site will announce when the room blocks open.
I will also have a section for What's New.
Plus a mail list for those who want to keep informed of changes.
Keep informed.
