Indoor Kart Racing (01/29)

WRAPUP: We had 26 racers participating, and a few spectators.. The track layout has been recently modified and was very challenging.? We ran in 3 groups with some unfortunate delays due to timing issues and?other groups sneaking in ahead of ours, but a fun time was had by all.? Fast guy of the day was Steve at 36.256 closely followed by Gary with a 36.328.? Fast gal was Reese with a 37.948.

CMMC Holiday Party (12/11)

WRAPUP: Over 25 MINIs (and a few non-MINIs) filled the streets outside Taylors home. Inside there were plenty of eats, drinks, snacks, and desserts. Lots of conversation and visiting and some cool raffle prizes including gift certificates from Cravenspeed. A really great way to wrap up the MINI season..

Huge thanks again to Taylor for hosting such a great party, and to everyone who came out to share a wonderful afternoon and evening.
