After the success of this years Missouri Southern Road Rally, I'm in the initial thoughts for next years event. And this time, I want to make it bigger, better, and more exciting than this years event. In addition, I want to make this an event that brings together the Mid-America MINI clubs.

So here is my initial thoughts:

Date: October 16th & 17th, 2004

Club/Area participation:
St. Louis MINI club
Kansas City MINI club
Oklahoma MINI club
Memphis Area
Metroplex MINI (Texas)
Little Rock Area

The thought being to setup an event in the Bull Shoals/Mountain Home, Arkansas area (first area off the top of my head). Each area could setup their own style of drive and desired route and we'd meet up for a great get together early evening on Saturday. Have a good get together Saturday night and Sunday morning, and then everyone could breakup for the respected drives back.
Each area would be responsible for setting up a time frame and drive itenary to arrive at the get together location around the same time. The main event would be put together separately for everyone.

Like I said, this is early planning, and I'm looking for everyone's input. So if you have thoughts, ideas, suggestions, recommendations on this, post them here and we'll start putting something together.

Thanks,
