Hello Indiana MINI Owners,
I'm about 20 miles from the site of the GWR in Williamsburg VA. They hav ea pretty good event set up from what I've seen so far. They're shooting for 500 Mini/MINI's, last year we ended up just short of 400. 370 something if, memory serves me right. So if ya ain'tdoing anything, it should be a pretty cool event.
However, I'll be heading up y'all way to assist Mini USA for the ride & drive program. NASA-Mid Atlantic helped with the ride & drive in Miami and Boston. I was in Boston and we had what seemed like 500 people show up and drive the new models. NO JCW's unfortunately! However, your event does have some JCW models in the line up for a test drive. In Boston it was a pretty dumbed down autocross course, but people were still able to get some pretty fast speeds. No times and no penality for cones hit, so that's a good thing, but they didn't put up with any "jackassery"
Since I'm a MINI owner as well, we'll be heading past the GWR attempt and have our sites on Chicago (Sheboygan actually, but that's been discussed!). If y'all stop over at the test drive area, find me and say hi. BTW, we'll be up there Friday night for the Get together, anybody have an address for the field house place?
See ya,
Dale Blankenship
