WRAPUP:  Great weather and a great drive!!  We had a large turnout of almost 30 MINIs of all colors and styles.. We had quite a few first timers who I suspect will be back for more drives.  We took a fun and twisty route up around Lake Geneva and back.  Huge thanks to Chris for all the route planning and and for taking the lead driving position on the route!!

Can-Am MINI Challenge    June 26th-29th Mid Ohio Sports Car course, Lexington Ohio

Hi, this is Arnie Press VP-CMMC. Lena and I and several friends as well as racers will be attending the Can-Am MINI Challenge at Mid Ohio 6/26-29. It should be one of the best Mini races in the country perhaps ever. Imagine 50+ Classic Mini’s racing on 3 wheels through almost every corner. I have attended other Mini/MINI races and found them to be very exciting and lots of fun. They are offering us FREE Club Parking and the price of admission is dirt cheap. We will be there Fri-Sunday. If you are from another Mini club or haven’t joined, you are still more than welcome to park with us and hang out. (M.I.N.I. Milw Mini’s etc…) JOIN THE FUN!Anyone who is interested or going please let me know so we can have club reserved parking and meet up..
