57th Annual NNJS June Jamboree

184 Park Avenue,Florham Park NJ 07932

19 June, 2021

Description

The longest running MBCA event This year we will be back at the Park Avenue Club in Florham Park, NJ on Saturday, June 19, 2021 for the NNJS 57th Annual June Jamboree. (Okay – we had to skip last year because of covid, so I am still counting it as an annual event.) The Park Avenue Club is conveniently located near major roadways and is easy to get to from your location. 184 Park Ave, Florham Park, NJ 07932 www.parkavenueclub.com The cars will be broken down into two categories – Concours (judged by a team of judges according to MBCA guidelines) and Popular (voted on by those in attendance). The cars in Concours class are then further broken down according to chassis. Concours cars need to be detailed and will be judged in four categories: 1 – Interior, Upholstery, Trunk; 2 – Glass, Lights, Rubber, Chrome, Trim; 3 – Engine Compartment; 4 – Paint, Coachwork; and points are also given for mileage and age. There is a mandatory 2-point deduction if your car is trailered to the event. Popular Vote cars are divided into two categories (Sedan and Sport) and then further broken down by years – New – 2016 to present; Modern – 2006 – 2015; Old – 1996 – 2005; Vintage – pre 1996. My advice for the Popular Vote cars is to “Give the baby a bath and come enjoy a good time with fellow Benz enthusiasts. Cars over 25 years old are also eligible for the Silver Star Preservation certificate – you can be in either Popular or Concours and have your car judged for this certificate. The pre-registration cost to enter a car is $85 and this fee includes lunch for the driver and the front seat passenger, additional lunches are $45 each for those over 12. Registrations made after June 16th and day of the event the registration fee is $100 per car. So please register by June 16th! Day of Registrations are cash or check only. You may attend the Jamboree and just join us for lunch if you do not wish to enter a car. It is more cost effective if there are two of you planning on attending to just enter a car, and if you do not want to detail it, just put it in Popular vote. (You save $5 by entering a car and not just purchasing lunch if you pre-register). Registration will begin at 8:30 AM. You will need to pull your car up the driveway and under the portico in order to receive your registration packet and be given your assigned parking spot. Please place your window sign on your window along with your scoresheet if you are participating in the concours. If you do not want anyone touching your vehicle without you being there, you must remain with your car during the judging time. Judging will begin at 10:30 and at that time, there will be no more detailing of the cars allowed. In your registration packet there will be color coded votes for the Popular Vote cars – please match the color of the vote to the color of the window sign – votes not matching the correct color will be discarded. All popular votes begin with a letter followed by a number. After the judging is completed, we will enter the dining room for lunch. The lunch will be served buffet style with wait staff serving the food from the buffet selection. Members will carry their plate along the serving line and the servers will place the food on the plates. While the members are eating the scorekeepers will be tallying up the results – please be patient during this time. This is a rain or SHINE event – so let’s all of us hope for a dry day. Looking forward to seeing many of you at the event.
