Phyllis & I will be there. I like the start point (about 2 miles from our house!)
Anyway, we LOVE the runs (...not that kind, the MINI Cooper kind)!!!! I need to wind it up, and unwind! Can't wait!

I wish I could make it. Is this a once a year type of deal or do you guys have other drives planned? New mini owner here.
Balducci is once a year but the Club has many other events throughout the year. If you join the Club, you will get emails about the events. Just go to stlmini.com & sign up!
We have a Fall Run planned for Oct 17th.

Sincere thanks to Doug and the supporting St. Louis MINI clan for inviting us and putting on a great show for a great cause! You all made the 350 mile trip well worthwhile. Looking forward to joining you all again soon.

We hope everyone had a good time at the Balducci Winery Run, the final count on cars was 64, and the final count on money raised for BACKSTOPPERS was $1600.00. Wow, what an outstanding show of support for this worthwhile organization. (this amount will be matched by an anonymous donor)
We want to thank everyone who came from all over the Midwest: Chicago, Omaha, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Eastern Iowa, and the Saint Louis Area. What a great turn out, we hope to see you all next year, if not sooner.
We would also like to thank the following contributors who donated items to be raffled off: American Mini Mates, Detailers Paradise, Mini Fini, Mini Mania, Mini of Saint Louis, Out Motoring, Sugo’s Spaghettera Restaurant, Rex Baumgartner, Mike Gleason, Becky & Dan Huebner, Lois & Mark McSwain, Linda & Steve Wiedman, and last but not least, Mother Nature. These nice people made it happen, keep these vendors in mind when you want to do something nice for your car, and thank the individuals the next time you see them.
All in all, it was a fantastic day, thanks to everyone who participated.
Cheers,
