WRAPUP: A half dozen MINIs braved the drizzly morning to participate in the parade. We were the second to last in the lineup (thankfully ahead of the horses), and were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd with lots of children. A fun time was had by all!!
The Chicago MINI Motoring Club will be participating in the Oak Lawn July 4th parade.
I participated in the Windy City BMW Drivers school event at Gingerman Raceway this past weekend, and had a great time.
My personal objectives were to have a good time, learn more about what my car could do at higher speeds, to improve my driving techniques, and to be able to say that I have driven my MINI to my limits on a racetrack.
Rob from Hooked on Driving has offered the Chicago MINI Motoring Club a discount on their various track days this summer..
