Welcome to the Indianapolis 500 Section web site of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America.
My thanks to all members for the opportunity to serve as President. We have a great group of Officers and Board Members who work hard to plan events just for your enjoyment. Please feel free to contact us if you have any concerns, questions, or ideas for events.

Join us and share our passion for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.


- James Gallimore, President



Presidents Message 2010


If you’ve been hesitant to attend one of our events or can't seem to carve out enough time, take heart. Perhaps you have the perception that we all drive new Benzes to these events or perhaps you believe that an older, less-than-perfect Benz would not be welcome. Perhaps you have the perception that nothing but rich people come to the events or perhaps you have the notion that all we ever talk about is Mercedes-Benzes. Rest assured that none of these perceptions is true. We welcome ALL members, whether they own a Benz or not, and we welcome ALL types of Benzes.  We’re down to earth people who try very hard to offer a wide variety of exciting and interesting activities throughout the year to appeal to as many members as possible. This coming year, don’t be embarrassed and don’t be shy. Vow to attend at least one of our events and join the fun. 
– James Gallimore
