Howdie

New to NorthAmerican Motoring.com and wanted to say hi. I have had my Cooper S for the better part of a year and love it. I have owned a range of cars from high performance sports cars to luxury cars and have to say I enjoy the MC the best.

I spend a fair amount of time on my motorcycle on the track, and am considering doing some track time with my mini. I would appreciate any advice from those that have gone before me.

Welcome to NAM.

Haven't done track time yet, but autocross is a blast.

Welcome to NAM. What color? I'm not a racer so I dwell on things like color. The MINI is entertaining every time I get into it. And it's easy to drive and park too. Not many cars offer such a combination. Have fun.

Studded snow tires are awesome on the track.
