Received a note re: an upcoming road rally starting and finishing at Cincinnati MINI on September 13 and thought I'd pass it along. We've done a few of these rallies and they are alot of fun -- best enjoyed with a passenger / navigator.

"The BMW Store in Cincinnati, Ohio is sponsoring their annual
Mini Cooper vs BMW Z Road Rally on Saturday September 13,
2008. The 80 mile road course begins and ends at the BMW
Store with refreshments served before and after the road rally
along with prizes given to the top winning teams. Last year
the Mini Coopers took 1st & 2nd Places but the BMW Z group
plans to strike back this year. Attached is a flier with
detailed information on the event and a registration form.
Hope you can make it out for this annual road rally!"

More info re: registration and start time can be found on the sponsor's web site: http://www.scenicroadrallies.com/index.asp

(No connection with this event or the sponsors...just a heads up for MINI owners looking to spend their Saturday a bit differently.)
