Awesome...that was also what I heard floating around at this years D4C, so nice to see this confirmed. Putting it on the calendar.

Holy crap that's exciting!! Wonder where they plan to do the track activities though...

So excited, should be a blast. Maybe they do a hill climb instead of track sessions... lol

FYI, I tried to sign up to their 2014 email distro and it's not set up yet. Give them a week or so before you try.

I heard registration does not start until Jan 2014. Also I talked with one of the BMWCCA presidents and they said the track part will be at HPR. I told him its a long drive from Beaver Creek and they would be going straight through denver during rush hour, so I dont really know what the plan is.

It'll be awesome to host this for out-of-staters. Just be prepared... altitude is a nasty, good-for-nothing, effing THIEF.

Beavercreek to HPR is gonna be quite the haul! Thanks for the heads up. I'll be keeping an eye out for registration as well

I'll say, wow. No traffic and that is ~3+ hours.

Re-post from info on BMWCCA site...

June 16–20: Oktoberfest 2014 presented by Michelin in Beaver Creek, Colorado

Fresh off an amazing event in Monterey, we have announced the location and dates for our 45th Annual Oktoberfest celebration, which will be held June 16–20, in Beaver Creek, Colorado. It's never too early to start planning for O'Fest, especially when we have a mid-summer date. Beaver Creek is located just west of Vail, approximately two hours from Denver, Colorado.

We’ll start with the first-timer's briefing and Welcome Reception on Monday evening. On Tuesday, our signature Oktoberfest Concours will be the main attraction. Whether you’ve entered your car for concours judging or not, you really must come out to view the many incredible BMWs that have been prepared with hours of loving care.

But you know that BMW is all about driving—and if you’re after the ultimate driving experience, you won’t be disappointed! There are plenty of opportunities to hone your driving skills starting on Wednesday with the BMW CCA Foundation Car-Control Clinic and the Odometer Gears TSD Rally. The driving competition portion of the week really heats up on Thursday with the Bridgestone Autocross, where you’ll need driving finesse and agility to master the challenging course.

Oktoberfest veterans will tell you that it’s the chance to meet old friends and make new ones that brings them back year after year, so our social calendar is as full as our driving schedule. Participants will have the opportunity to enjoy several dinners with fellow members throughout the week, all leading up to the final BMW NA Awards Banquet on Friday night.

The mountain village of Beaver Creek should provide an exquisite setting from the 45th annual celebration of all things BMW! Plan now to be a part of the fun, friendship, and passion that can only be found at the “Ultimate BMW Owners” event—O’Fest! Look for registration and the room block to open up in early 2014!

A new Oktoberfest website will launch in January 2014.

So no HPR, not surprising. Should still be fun. Wonder if I can get an F80 by then...
