Is Phil Wick returning?

 

I believe it is so. I also believe the UK winner of the MINI Challenge is coming to join in the race.
There is not yet a shed-yool for next year on the web site though.

 

. . . I wasn't aware he'd ever left!

 

Are you joining us this year?

 

Ooops.

 

I tried to last year and decided to have surgery instead.

At this point I am planning on it. I'm driving Casper, possibly one daughter with another MINI, and sending the husband out on the plane. A new, low-cost airline starts up out of Knoxville to LV mid-February. Convenient, eh? Still haven't made reservations yet, though. I guess I better get busy.

If Dragonflyer hasn't sold his VTEC by then, tell him to let me borrow it and I will show him how to drive it on the track.

 

Agro called Phil Wicks from the AMVIV planning meeting on Wednesday night, and Phil is going to be there with the school and racing on Saturday and Sunday.

 

He left Vegas, but will return.

Current status is school saturday for sure, though possibly with a reduced number of places and sunday maybe.
Race practice, qualifying and racing BOTH saturday AND sunday.

 

When I last talked to Phil he said we would have the school and race for sure. As I'am making plans to be at the race.

 

Yeah, well, the defending national champion pretty much HAS to race.

 

Just another reason for me to go. Since I now HAVE to.

 

Is he moving the race to Puhrump (sp)?

 

There is a rumour that the race might move to Spring Mountain (in Pahrump) which I can neither confirm nor deny.

 

Is there a track in Pahrump? I thought the only things there were retirees and chicken ranches.

 

The Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch http://www.springmountainmotorsports.com in Pahrump is actually quite a nice track. Recently upgraded and fully repaved. I know a couple of people who have done track days there who are very enthusiastic about the place.

 

Phil's website has been updated for next season.

Start savin' for fresh rubber!

I am sorry to say, David, that I will likely miss Summit Point this year. We are hosting MME2007 here in East TN in late June. We will have a lot on our plate at that point. I will also miss Sebring too.

 

RATZ! . . . well, we'll always have Carolina in the Fall?
