The Chicago MINI Motoring Club has been invited to the Social Media preview day at the Chicago Auto Show this year on Friday February 7th.
This is a great chance to see the new F56 MINI due for sale later this year and hundreds of other cars before the general public.

Auto Show registration details and specific times will be provided soon, but leave a comment if you’d like to attend!!

Huge thanks to our friends at MINIUSA  for making the arrangements to get us into the show again this year.

January is indoor kart racing time at the Chicago MINI Motoring Club. Come on out for some high speed racing action on a fun track!!

WRAPUP: Cold weather kept a few people away, but the racing was hot!!  We had a dozen CMMC members and friends partake in our annual event, and the racing was very close.  “Fast Guy”  for the day was Martin by a very slim margin, and “Fast Gal” was Kate.   Special thanks to “Scoring Babe” Carrie, and best Birthday Wishes to Jim!!

CMMC is back..

Our hosting website had some computer denial of service attacks and changed our addresses to help protect us better going forward.

Took a few days for us to get what we needed  re-configured.  Sorry about the delay.

Thanks to Nathan from Motoring Alliance and Paul for getting everything squared away.

WRAPUP:  A beautiful fall day drew 40 MINIs and a Morgan on a great drive along some fun back roads..  A bunch of new members and first-timers came along as well as a bunch of club regulars.    Unfortunately the good weather brought out too big a crowd at Starved Rock State Park, so there was only limited parking ability..  Many people headed out to a fantastic lunch at MJ’s Pub and Grill in nearby Oglesby.  Special thanks to Rus for planning, pre-driving and leading the drive route and to Chris for coordinating all the food arrangements!!
