Even now, before the event, it is appropriate to make another mention of and to direct thanks to those who support the MINI community and to those who make this event possible. Our list is long and notorious. At the risk of missing someone, let me offer up this list of pp and organizations who have helped us organize and present this event:

Mark Ferguson and NorthAmericanMotoring. Someone has to have vision, and I don't necessarily. I have ideas. There is a difference.

Ralph Schomp MINI. They have put more $$ into this event than anyone. I challenge any other dealer in the U.S. to say "yes" more often than Aaron Heggen and his staff at Ralph Schomp.

Copper Mountain Resort - Jordan Weyand, Shannon Lee, Lauren Pelletreau, and Erin Silver have made my life easy. They simply made the resort available and have made your lives more fun when you get there. You will see.
