[COVERAGE] MPACT East ’13

September 23rd, 2013 by Elusive Media

MPACT returns for its 3rd Annual BMW & Exotic Car Festival located in the heart of Baltimore, MD. A highlight of the show is even before you arrive, the caravan. With many attendees coming from afar, last years caravans had over a 100 cars, and as expected large groups arrived again this year with a helicopter to record them as they arrive! NCC Autocross shows up again this year for anyone that is willing test your skills on the Auto-X. Besides Auto-X many vendors(SlipStream Racing Events and ProTuning Freaks Titled Sponsors) came out to support the Car Festival and the Wounded Warrior Project Charity. This is by far one of my favorite shows to attend, not only do you get to go on a good long cruise with many of your fellow car enthusiast, but the sheer volume of clean BMW M cars & Exotics; no other show can match. Last year MPACT makes a large donation of $5000 to the Wounded Warrior Project, looking forward to see how well we did this year! Enjoy the coverage and see you next year!

[COVERAGE] MPACT 2012

September 16th, 2012 by Elusive Media

MPACT is a pretty long day, up at 6am and just under 375miles round trip, but there are many reasons that make this show worth the drive. For one, it’s located in the beautiful downtown Baltimore inner harbor area. With that location, within ~150 miles, you have NYC, Philly, DC, Harrisburg, Allentown, & Richmond, so you end up seeing some fresh cars that you normally don’t see at local shows. Another reason is the caravans on the drive down, no way better to start the early trip than with a bunch of your fellow car enthusiasts. There was also said to have a helicopter follow some of the caravans, but i see one in the air, but did see it at the event; will be interesting to see what they ended up getting from the air.
This year MPACT stepped it up with having having an AutoX event and the ever so popular dyno was back again. If you go to enough of these events, you know food & drinks usually ends up with a nice long wait, this year they added a few more vendors and variety of food, with one being “Snowball Experience”…100 different flavors…YES! Overall, everything was improved over last years event. Better use of the parking lots, more food, vendors like VAC Motorsports to Philly McLaren, activities like AutoX & Dyno, and of course 100’s of BWM’s all day with exotics in the mix. Don’t forget this was all put on to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project! Huge Thanks to the Staff of MPACT for putting on a great event. Look forward to 2013!

MPACT

June 28th, 2011 by Elusive Media

This was MPACTs first annual BMW and exotic car show. All money raised was donated to Wounded Warrior Project. Location of MPACT was “spot on”; Camden Yards Sports Complex Inner Harbor, Baltimore MD. 3hr drive for us north jersey folk, while only a few hour drive for the VA/DC guys, a good halfway point for everyone. Even with the weather in the low 90s, Sons of the radio(band), along with a DJ kept the music going all day, while the food stand kept everyone full and hydrated. MPACT was one hell of a show for its first year, excellent turnout, Dyno, and amazing raffle prices…ie: 40″ LCD TV, csl style wheels, and a few thousand in certificates; the sponsors really did step it up to make this one event to remember.

As everyone is saying, See you next year MPACT!
