The Quad Cities British Auto Club (QCBAC) will be hosting their annual Heartland British Autofest Days on Saturday and Sunday, August 7th and 8th in Davenport.

Our good motoring buddy Mike C. won both the Best in Class and Best Overall Wheels awards with his awesome MINI at this event last year. We’d like to see even more of our MINIs participating this year!

This event includes a leisurely drive on Saturday starting at 3:00 pm, followed by a group dinner. Sunday is the car show, with car registration and clean up between 9:00 am and noon; voting between 1:00 and 2:00 pm; and the awards presentation at 3:00 pm. There is much more information about this event after the jump (more…) below and via the QCBAC Website (<–link).

Please note that advance registration by mail to QCBAC is required for this event. The registration form may be accessed using the following link: Heartland British Autofest Days Entry Form.

Also note that there is a modest registration fee ($15 if submitted prior to August 1st).

EIM discussion and plans can be tracked by monitoring the NAM Discussion Thread (<–link)

See you in Davenport!
