Bragg-Smith Advanced Driving School @ Spring Mountain Motorsports Park

Description:
NorCal MINIs is sponsoring A Track Day in Vegas 2004 as part of A MINI Vacation in Vegas 2004. The track has been rented exclusively for this event. A Track Day in Vegas 2004 is just for both classic Minis and new MINIs. You will be allowed one co-driver out on the track, providing they are over the age of 18, have signed the liability waiver, and have a suitable helmet. This is an opportunity for high performance driving, this is NOT a race, anyone found driving in an unsafe manor will be promptly removed from the event.

Track Details:
The track is a 2.2 mile road coarse with a 50 foot change in elevation. The minimum width of the track is 37feet. Turns 5A and 5B are an exact replica of the hairpin at the famous Mosport road coarse in Canada also known as the Moss Corner.

Costs:
First driver and car $175 until November 15th, and $200 after November 15th.
Additional Drivers in same car: $50
Entrance fees include: track use, t-shirt, and lunch.
All fees are refundable until December 15th.
Space is limited for this event so sign up EARLY!

Extras:
A helmet is required and must be provided by the participant.
Additional T-Shirts are going to be $15 if pre-ordered and $20 if purchased at the track.

If you wish to sign up for this event, email Phillip Stewart at pstewart30@sbcglobal.net

Just got this message from NorCal MINIs:
NorCal MINIs regrets to inform you that A MINI Track Day In Vegas has
regretably been canceled. Due to a number of factors we were unable to still
have the event go through. All money will be refunded 100%, if you have any
questions feel free to email NorCal MINIs at info@norcalminis.com
BTW, the main event of A Mini Vacation In Vegas will still go on. Only the sub-event for the track time has been canceled.

I've been told that the reason is simply lack of interest. Without enough people to sign up, the costs to rent the track cannot be covered. Hence the cancellation.

However, I suggest you directly contact Phillip or NorCal MINIs for their answers.

AMVIV will still go on. Keep checking http://www.aminivacationinvegas.com for details as news of events will be updated there.
