January is indoor kart racing time at the Chicago MINI Motoring Club. Come on out for some high speed racing action on a fun track!!
WRAPUP: Cold weather kept a few people away, but the racing was hot!! We had a dozen CMMC members and friends partake in our annual event, and the racing was very close. “Fast Guy” for the day was Martin by a very slim margin, and “Fast Gal” was Kate. Special thanks to “Scoring Babe” Carrie, and best Birthday Wishes to Jim!!

$35 per person for Non-Members or additional CMMC guests.
Because we are starting later than we have in the past, we are not making official plans for food.. If enough people are interested we may do a casual get-together across the street at Bacci Pizza
