Fresh off last Sunday's Go Kart Racing high, a few people expressed interest in participating in more Go Kart racing.
Chicago Indoor Racing hosts both Sprint leagues and Team Endurance Races.
It looks like it is too late for the winter sprint series, but there are a couple of dates open for Endurance racing (2-6 people, 200 laps, $300)
These are not official MINI club events, but if people are interested, feel free to post here
UPDATE 01/12/2005: We have filled up all our remaining spots!!
UPDATE 01/11/2005: Only 2 spots remaining as of 10:00pm
NOTE: For anyone sending in applications for Go-Karting after 01/09/2005, please post here as well so we are sure to count you in!!
There are still spots open for Go-Karting on January 16th!!
Several people have expressed interest, but remember that you are not officially counted until your check gets to one of the Club Officers.
Satisfy your wintertime need for speed by cutting some quick laps around Chicago Indoor Racing's larger track, or just come on out to watch the fun.
Here is the link to the previous post with more details
We've had to change plans a bit for our end of year dinner. This year we'll be having it at Chicago Indoor Racing
Facility in Buffalo Grove this Sunday (12/12) at 2:00 pm.
We'll have a couple door prizes courtesy of Knauz MINI and if anyone is interesting karting and video games!
If you'd like to reserve a spot email Gabe@Chicagominiclub.com or Steve@Chicagominiclub.com.
Once again we will be returning to the Chicago Indoor Racing
Facility in Buffalo Grove on Sunday Jaunary 16th for a MINI Club Go Karting event. We will have a drivers meeting at 11:00am, and racing from Noon until 1pm.
We have spots for the first 30 people (members plus 1 guest). Price will again be $40. To reserve a spot download this form, enclose a check and send it in to the club P.O. Box (listed on the form).
For those that haven?t raced yet at the track it?s an absolute blast. It?s a very professional facility and only those over 18 can race with a
valid drivers license. Further, you?re required to wear a full drivers
suit and helmet (all provided as part of the price). It?s so real and so fun you?ll even be a little sore afterwards! All in all it?s a great
experience that is truly addicting.
For you interested MCS owners, it looks like there will be a Randy Webb Pully Party on December 12th at a club members family farm in Dekalb in a large heated shop building.

The 3rd annual MINIs on the Dragon run will take place May 5-9, 2005 at Deals Gap, North Carolina.
Its a 318 turns in 11 miles incredible 2nd gear roller coaster ride, continiously changing from idle to redline through major elevation changes with hardly a straightaway in sight.
There are a couple of Chicago area people attending the event this year, so feel free to post here or in the Club forum for plans to meet up and caravan down together.
