I believe it is so. I also believe the UK winner of the MINI Challenge is coming to join in the race.
There is not yet a shed-yool for next year on the web site though.

I tried to last year and decided to have surgery instead.

At this point I am planning on it. I'm driving Casper, possibly one daughter with another MINI, and sending the husband out on the plane. A new, low-cost airline starts up out of Knoxville to LV mid-February. Convenient, eh? Still haven't made reservations yet, though. I guess I better get busy.

If Dragonflyer hasn't sold his VTEC by then, tell him to let me borrow it and I will show him how to drive it on the track.

Current status is school saturday for sure, though possibly with a reduced number of places and sunday maybe.
Race practice, qualifying and racing BOTH saturday AND sunday.

There is a rumour that the race might move to Spring Mountain (in Pahrump) which I can neither confirm nor deny.

Is there a track in Pahrump? I thought the only things there were retirees and chicken ranches.

The Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch http://www.springmountainmotorsports.com in Pahrump is actually quite a nice track. Recently upgraded and fully repaved. I know a couple of people who have done track days there who are very enthusiastic about the place.

I am sorry to say, David, that I will likely miss Summit Point this year. We are hosting MME2007 here in East TN in late June. We will have a lot on our plate at that point. I will also miss Sebring too.
