BBQ Drive (09/16)

WRAPUP: Fantastic weather brought out over 2 dozen MNIS (plus a couple of really cool Minis). There were several new people out for their first event, and people from as far away as Madison, Wi and as far east as almost Indiana. We split up into a couple groups to enjoy fifty miles of empty back roads and entertaining curves. The faster group inadvertently split up into a couple smaller groups that “decided” to do some extra credit mileage.

We eventually all made it back to Blake’s place for burgers, dogs, chips, drinks and sweets as well as a chance to hang out and socialize.

Huge thanks to Dustin, Blake and all who helped plan, organize and test-run this event!!!

Chicago Indoor Racing Challenge 8/26

WRAPUP: The Chicago MINI Motoring Club took a 6th place against some tough competition.  The 300 lap full track format, warm weather, and manditory driver changes and fuel strategy made for a marathon event.

Highlights/Lowlights included 3rd overall top lap time by Adam, and a not so nice pass attempt by another team that sent Marco into the wall hard enough  to damage his cart and knock the wind out of him.

Overall, it was a great evening of racing and a very fun time.  We also had the best looking cars lined up out in the parking lot (possibly with the exception of the Shelby Cobra and Daytona replicas). 

Also an extra special thanks to Blake, Anthony, Rob and Michelle coming out and cheering everyone on!!!
