I think it would be a blast to drive the BMW track in Spartinburg. I don't know if I could swallow $4k for a day when I have the Skyline Parkway as a playground 15 minutes from my house.

Thats one of the most expensive.

One day is 600.00 at Spartanburg

Teen school is around 400.00.
Not bad at all for what you get.

These are outreach programs which have extra cost.

MTTS 06'
We drove the skyline and it was great even though it rained and was foggy, they had the built in pavement lights on that day.

I have drove that 3 times already , one of the great drives , I do the I 95 thing from Miami to NJ every year.
I will be doing this again in May.

The track in SC rocks, and I have been on some tracks.

They have done Auto X before....

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ter-autox.html

Their is no real MINI track day like they have for the BMW's.

Of course this was using your own MINI, the PDC Scheduled Track Days , you use their own fleet of BMW's.

I did mention the MINI's need a day thing, but for now its only BMW's , and of course they have the NEW Motorad program which I will talk about.

I will pass on everyone ideas, so post what you think they should do!

I thought the William Shatner Article in BMW magazine was interesting.

And the BMW Z3 and Z4 Homecoming is always a great event, some MINI owners in the arear atend this.

If their was a MINI event , such like the October event held in spartanburg, SC. Would you attend?
