WRAPUP: Sunny spring weather made for an excellent drive!! 35 MINIs of all colors and styles met up for the start. Lots of new and potential members, and lots of old friends. We headed out for a 40 or so mile drive around the western suburbs on lots of nice twisty back roads. We parked up at the top of a parking garage for a short photo op, and then went on to enjoy a nice lunch at The Filling Station.
Huge thanks to Paul and Barbara for all the planning for this event!!
It is almost time to get your MINI all cleaned up for spring, and our friends at Dr. Beasley’s have offered the Chicago MINI Motoring Club a discount on their Online Store detailing products.
We usually work pretty hard to keep our MINIs clean, but Chicago based Dr. Beasley’s, Inc and Simon’s Shine Shop have partnered up and are running a contest to find the dirtiest car.
Grand prize is a full detail, and several other prizes are available as well. Contest ends Friday February 25th.
Check out all the information, and enter the contest HERE
WRAPUP: We had a big crowd of MINI fans attend from as far away as Madison Wi. After a nice but chilly group drive on a pothole riddled Sheridan Road and Lake Shore Drive, we all congregated and hung out at the MINI exhibit, and then on to the rest of the show. Huge thanks again to MINIUSA and Knauz MINI for helping our club out with the tickets and making arrangements to get us into the show early!

WRAPUP: 22 participants came out to enjoy some intense racing. We had a few new people and a bunch of regulars were broken up into two groups. There were some thrills, chills, bumping and grinding, and a few short tanks of fuel, but we got a bonus longer race at the end to make up for it. A fun time was had by all. Fast lap time of the day goes to Steve R. at 22.76 closely followed by Ken E. at 22.82.
