I just read it is going from the East coast, maybe New Jersey, to the West coast stopping in eleven cities five of which are new stops.
That is all I have so far. I'll post more as I hear.

MINI has listed four cities for MINIcross (autocross) events. Closest locations to Indiana are Nashville and Chicago. They also have MINIcrosses in Philadelphia and LA. They have just posted the other cities and will be stopping in Louisville, KY between stops in Nashville and Chicago. MotoringFile has the listed stops posted.

Well it might not be a stop in Indy, but they are at least coming through. Looks like it would be a good drive to Louisville, and then join the pack to motor up to Chicago.

Since I am in Louisville, I am joining the group in Nashville and maybe go on through Denver. I haven't decided just where to stop. There is a lot of the midwest that I have never seen.

Planning on doing the whole thing... calling it Penfold's "Farewell" Tour.

So it looks like this MTTS will showcase the new GP and Clubvan... if you've never done a mega-event like this you don't know what you are missing. Hotels booked from NY to L.A. look for the DS/W R53... then again Thunder Grey is a nice color. In the immortal words of John Belushi " And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the going gets tough . . . the tough get going. Who's with me? Let's Go! Come on!"

Sadly, "Penfold's Farewell Tour" has been cancelled... no Penfold, nor farewell tour for him... the New MINI Roadster will be enjoying the drive... hope to see you somewhere along the route.
