Kart Racing – January 27th

 

WRAPUP:  We had a smaller than usual crowd of 13 due to the cold weather, but the racing was intense.  A tight battle in one heat between Sylvia, Allie, and Peter had everyone on their feet till the final lap.  Martin took fast time and first place overall, followed by Steve and Kirk.

Road Warrior Rock Run 11/3

November 3rd will be the date for our annual end of season drive out to Starved Rock State Park.

This event was renamed the Road Warrior Rock Run in 2016 to honor longtime club and board member Conrad Alexander.

WRAPUP:   Another drive to Starved Rocks is in the books..  The predicted rain held off till late afternoon, and the fall colors were all in force (as was the crowds at the park)  We had about 30 MINIs out for the day, with many on their first club drive.
