Our annual end of season drive to Starved Rock will be on Saturday November 1st.
This event was renamed the Road Warrior Rock Run in 2016 to honor longtime club and board member Conrad Alexander.

WRAPUP: Beautiful fall day for our end of season drive to Starved Rock. We had a good sized bunch of 22 MINIs exploring lots of fun twisty roads. A couple of 1st timers and several long time members who we havent seen in a while..

Huge thanks to Joe B. for help with the start location and some of the drive planning and to Mark H. for setting up the Rallista route.

WRAPUP: Super Superdawg Saturday!!

We had about 30 MINIs participating in a fun drive thru the Cul De Sacs of Vernon Hills ending at Superdawg. The rain held out until about 1/2 way thru the drive and then cleared after we arrived.

We had a few first-timers, and lots of old friends. The long distance award goes to Phyllis and Lee coming in from Tennessee.

A great evening hanging out and visiting with everyone!

WRAPUP:

The afternoon started wet but everything dried out before we departed. We had 9 MINIs out for the drive, which is a nice size to keep everyone together. There were a couple first timers and the rest have been on prior drives. A fun cruise thru North Aurora and Sugar Grove back roads and a stop for some yummy Ice Cream.

Thanks to Mark H. for creating the rallista routing and to everyone who came out for the drive!
