Although we are not listing it as an official MINICCI event a few of us are going to attend the Vintage Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio at Lexington, Ohio on June 26 to 28. We are inviting any of you who would like to attend. I have registered MINICCI for the event. Please go the website below for information.

This is a weekend of racing but also includes a British Car Showdown on Saturday and a Concours d’Elegance on Sunday. They have new Mini classes (2002-present) days. Both competitions have a parade lap around the track. I have requested a Corral for the MINICCI for the Concours on Sunday. Buy the Weekend Car Club tickets. They are $70 for two passes for the weekend and include the parade laps each day. You have to be entered in the competition for the parade laps. Registration for the British Car Showdown is Saturday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. We are planning to drive over Friday night after work. Because of the time we are not planning on a coordinated drive but will be happy to advise anyone of the time we are leaving if there is interest in going together. It looks like the trip will take us about four hours from Indianapolis on the interstates. The track lists the time from Ft. Wayne at about three hours.
I have reserved 10 rooms at the Travelodge Mansfield for Friday and Saturday night and they do have more available. They are held in my name, Larry Taylor, as well as in Mini Car Club of Indiana. The rates are $59.50 for a room with one queen size bed or $68.00 for two double beds plus tax. The reservation was made by Crystal. Be sure to tell them the rate when you call because they are a little lower than what she initially quoted me. The hotel information is:
