TheContinental Tire Sports Car Challenge race at Laguna Seca wassuccessful on two fronts for MINI-USA. Firstly the new MINI John Cooper WorksRace Team finished in the top ten in only its second outing. And secondly theMINI-USA Corral that was organized by MotorWerks Magazine was an outstanding success.




Some hardwork by MWM West Coast Editor Norman Nelson and MINI’sown Tonine McGarvie transformed the prime real estate on Laguna Seca’s Islandinto MINI Central for the three-day event. The MINI owners that came out atshort notice were treated to a tour of the teams pit area, had a meet and greetwith Remo Ruscitti, Glenn Nixon, Wei Lu, Zack Meyer, Dan Clarke, and StephenSimpson and were treated to a great display and result by the team.


Spurred on by the success of the Laguna Seca Corral, Nelson,McGarvie and MWM Editor Ian Rae turned the phones red hot and are pleased toannounce that MotorWerksMagazine is bringing you another MINI-USA Corral at thenext round of the CTSCC at Watkins Glen.
