I'm still trying to work out the details. I had planned to be out of town for the weekend but am trying to be back for Sunday. With the hope that i can make it happen, there will be two of us coming.

And Ceciliaw - this would only be my second run as well. =)

Okay, put me down for two. I don't have a co-pilot yet, but it's better to plan for two and get one than vice versa.

You guys really are trying to see how many cars Maxi can lose this year aren't you ? (28 MINIs)

For this run I'm gonna fly wingman to Maxi ! That way I know I'll make it to lunch !

We need to help Chris break his lost MINI record. When we get a few miles into the run and Chris goes around a curve at his usual spirited pace, we all stop! Let's see how long it takes for him to realize we are gone.

Awesome...

BUT, we will be in "Twight Light Zone" on most part of the route.

GPS won't work in some area, not to mention the GPS cell.

No cell signal and very limited 2-way radio range (I mean very very limited), from terrain and altitude .

Best to do is to keep up with the people in front of you, and keep the MINI behind you in sight.

It's going to be a really fun run.

Dibs on the freebies!

Of course, I could just be lulling you into a false sense of security. There's more than one entrance to the buffet (insider secret)! Le Mans start RULES!
