2011 Event Ideas

[glmini]

We are currently working on the calendar of events for 2011 and have several ideas in the works. But if you have any ideas about an event you would like to see, or if you would like to chair an event, let one of the board members know.

It is looking to be another year of great MINICCI events, so make sure to come out an join the group for some motoring fun.

I believe a trip to Madison IN would be great MINI event. Having grown-up there on weekends on the river and the great roads and scenic views... coupled with some good wineries and music... dunno how you could go wrong. I have some knowledge of great roads down and then if you were to overnite in the MADISON Hotel, there could be an afternoon trip to Markland Dam and/or Louisville. Either direction would be entirely river roads and Hwy's... as they are smooth, black and share some great river views.

Sound like a great idea. We were through there this fall coming back from the bourbon run, looked like a great drie area.

Any way to get a track day lined up at either Putnam park or the kart track in Nightstown. I heard about you guys going to the kart track before and that sounds like a hoot.

The go kart track was an event that Dreyer & Reinbold put on for Motortober for perspective customers and they invited MINICCI members to bring their cars out to run on the track. They were wanting to do a Autocross event this last October, but the details could not be worked out, maybe that can happen this year.

What's the plans for event or casual event at the autoshow?

I thought I'd pass along creative event that Stl Mini/Miata club does. A light ralleye where you could decorate your mini, and everyone cruises predetermined route through indy to appreciate the creative griswalds of the world! Taken a step further we convene at movie playing of christmas vacation.... Lol

How about a group drive in the ft Wayne 3 rivers festival parade in mid summer? Also have a new used dealership in town called sweet cars. Check them out at sweetcars.com. Sell high end stuff including minis. Also have a great detailing shop, are a distributor/installer for tire rack among other things. They have personally expressed interest to me in having a meeting up here. I am happy to try and arrange this some of this stuff if there is interest from you all down south.

How about Burbon Run 3.1? We would visit the 3 distilleries we missed on Burbon Run 3.0. They would be Four Roses, Heaven Hill, and Jim Beam. We could all get our free t-shirts then.

[glmini]

We are planning Bourbon Run IV for this September, will have to see if we can pick up the missed distilleries then.

are there any plans for the story wine fest this year? that drive was excellent fun!

I'm getting a little discouraged. When I got the MINI last fall I couldn't wait for some drives in the Spring. Now the Spring is almost over and I'm batting a big fat ZERO. June looks to be out for me too, unless someone wants to drive up to Madison WI late June for a business trip. Business is keeping me too busy.

Anything going on in July?

We have a planned drive down south to Clifty Falls to join up with the Bluegrass MINI club of Ky. There are also plans for a local rally in July but nothing definite. Greg and Linda are going to dust off a drive to Ivanhoes on June 6.
