other Bmw Clubs/midwest

[glemon]

I was just about to pull the trigger on joining the local chapter of the BMWCCA, I know there is one and it is reasonably active, but before I pull the trigger wondered if there were any BMW 02 clubs/chapters/groups in the Lincoln or Omaha, NE area, or even Des Moines of Kansas City, I see the Rocky Mountain and Chicago area groups, both are about a days drive away, a little far.

 

Any vintage BMW owners around me here on the forum??

OK, I will give it one bump to see if any weekend lurkers respond.  Certainly not getting as much love as the Phoenix area post, Oh well, guess I get to be the only cool guy in the area bombing around in an old '02!

Oh man   The best group is the True Friends of Alex Von Faulkenhausen, primary gang is in the NW Ark, NE OK, and Missouri area.   In fact they having their fall gtg this weekend.     The big event is last weekend in April in Eureka Springs Ark.    Folks come from all around to these events, including NE, MN, IL, OH, VA, CO, TX, LA, AL, FL      

 

This is a fantastic bunch of enthusiasts, so much so that every year since 2007 we go out from NC for at least one of their events.   They don't get any better than these guys.   And the focus is 02s, though they do let an occasional interloper in 

 

Here is their website:   http://midamerica02fest.com/

I saw the stuff about the Arkansas event, looks like a great time, and a doable, though long, days drive away. Will have to check into going next year, thanks, Greg
