I talked with Luis Perocarpi (President and CEO of LAP Motorsports http://www.lapmotorsportsllc.com/) this last weekend at VIR and he and the gang will be up at Watkins Glen this coming weekend (30 Aug - Sep 1) with not one, two or three MINIs but FOUR. That is right, Luis is planning on competing with four of your favorite MINI Cooper JCWs ... Impressive 43-Car TC America Field Entered for Watkins Glen International Weekend
