Is this open to other makes? I've got a friend with a Mazdaspeed3, and I'd like to drag him along if it's OK.

I am in either way, this looks awesome.

Yes, this event is co-sponsored by the Miata Club so I am guessing you can bring the Mazda. I am sure Dustin will chime in.

How often you do you guys have these? I've been wanting to take my Charger R/T to one of these for a long time.

Unfortunately I can't make this one as I have a dyno day in Oswego, IL that same day and there is no way that I'll be able to make both.

Are there anymore of these planned for later in the summer? I'd cancel my dyno day if it my gf's ordered MCS were to come in early and get broken in prior to the event (very unlikely though).

This is the 1st in the area for awhile. When this one is full, it's almost full, we will start a stand by list, if that list grows we may have a 2nd CCC this fall.

Fair enough...

Mind if I post the clinic link on some other forums to help drum up in interest?

I'm torn... I can get dyno pulled pretty much anytime (i don't really care that much, I just want to see if I've cracked 300 RWHP yet :D). I'd take away a lot more from something like this as I've just really started to just get comfortable with letting my rear end hang out a little.

The event is not past, it's May 31st. You may also want to still come in another FWD if your MINI is not here yet. The skills learned in one car will transfer to other cars.

Well I fell like a total moron! Anyway, sadly I have nothing capable to bring to the event, so I will have to wait for the next one.

Thanks

That's good news Dustin. How many MINI's are signed up?

Is everything a go with the MINI's running seperate classes at all Miata club AutoX's this year?

Not sure how many MINI's we have, due to the lack of info. But I think we have about 10. WCMC is willing to give us our own class if we show up more then once a year LOL. See Ya There and Thanks for helping make this event happen, I look forward to seeing your new HC CM.
