featured marque....MINI COOPER! Sounds like a great road trip-I"M IN! I have a list of nearby places to stay. I also have two flyers that when I find someone who knows how to post correctly (Boop) will be available.

Who's coming?

I am planning on attending this event.

Why did it have to be that weekend. One of the 2 weekends out of the year we do inventory.

Crashton · #4 04-13-2009, 07:21 PM

That is one of the don't miss events of the year at Mid-Ohio.

Call in sick if you have to. Friday is a good day too if you can't make the weekend. I've been going there for many years to see those beautiful old race cars & my friends.

Nice pics (as always). I'll be there, wouldn't miss it.

reboopie · #9 05-21-2009, 06:41 PM

slumpp · #10 06-22-2009, 08:39 AM

Yes, Friday is a cool day there.
I may do the weekend ticket.

Hey Steve, MINI is the honored marque this year. I know a few of us Mid Stater's will be there along with some folks from the great white north. There is also a kilt beauty contest up north if you'd rather look at some man legs intead of vintage race cars.

This....

Or this....

Yep them Frog eyed Sprites are always happy.

That Mini makes it look huge. Guess that shows how small the original item really is. I've always felt that the New MINI should have been called a Maxie.

I think there's a very VERY good reason this didn't happen.

Crashton · #15 06-22-2009, 04:10 PM

Why not, imagine the possibilities. Carbotech maxie pads for your MAXIE.

Because they'd only be available in white with a red top?

kimoz · #17 06-22-2009, 05:17 PM

why am I not surprised by this reply?

Mowse · #18 06-22-2009, 05:20 PM

keeping in the spirit of this thread you could put whites stripes on your red car

Crashton · #19 06-22-2009, 05:24 PM

Stripes are for posers. Solid colors FTW.

Crashton · #20 06-29-2009, 08:18 AM

Big fun at the vintage races.

A good turn out of MINI's & Mini's.
