I'm signed up are any of you going?

 

I would, but as I'm still post surgery, so I can't drive yet. I did it last year and it was fun.

I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to know how your car performs. This won't prep you for a track day, but it will make you more confident on the road, in your car and in yourself. It's fun!

For those interested, details are here.

 

MiniShagz, you will be there, in Motor Spirit

 

I believe I'm signed up for this.

 

Have fun guys! Be sure to empty your car of all loose items as stuff will fly around (they even mentioned floor mats last year). Unfortunately there really isn't too much opportunity to take pictures during the course, so you may wish to leave your cameras behind. You spend part of the time sitting in a classroom setting and then in line for the hands on stuff. Besides, you don't want your cameras flying around in the car! Don't forget to tank up as you will be burning a bit of gas. Another tip, you may wish to bring a folding chair to sit in during the class portion. Just checking out the site, it doesn't look like lunch is included, so you may wish to bring your own. (Too bad, because last year they had lunch, although I think the event was $40 vs $25 because of it.)

Again, have fun and wish I could join you!

 

Thanks for the tips, I checked and lunch is included for us, and I'll be sure to bring the chair. I think I'll bring the camera in case someone is there that could take pics of me and I of them, if the drive time works out that way.

 

I will see you guys there! Sounds like fun!

 

My wife in her Pepper white cooper will be there.

(I have soccer game stuff going on)

 

Have fun tomorrow. Looks like the weather should be pretty good, albeit a little chilly (low 60's). Squeal some tires for me!

 

this looks like it's going to be fun. Unfortunately I can't make it. Have fun out there. Maybe you can teach us a thing or two at the next meet.

 

Blake and I are coming from Chicago.

 

Great event, if you were that today and driving a MINI I bet I have a pic of you driving, IM me your email address and I'll send you a link to the site.

 

Same here (for the MINI photos) - I should have them posted later this evening and will drop a link to the page here when it's done.

 

My wife had a great time, and I think now she'll be easy to convince to try an autocross with me!

She was in the pepper white and black.

Nice to talk to some of you.

 

It was oh so fun! Lots of MINIs and a variety of other cars too. I had a great time. If there are pics of me/my car I'd love 'em. I'd love to see photos of the other folks too. Please post some of them if you can. I'm Exira K in the very checkered DS/MCS. What a blast!

 

Ok, photos are up HERE .

I just slapped the page together, so please let me know if you encounter any problems. Click on the thumbnails for larger pix.

I know there are photos of Yellow's wife & TachnoGirl over there as well as many others from some of the Chicago clubs drivers.

I limited the file sizes, so if there is a particular shot or two that you would like in high res, PM me your e-mail address and the file name(s)...I'll send you a copy.

Where were you sneaking around, Rick? Don't remember seeing you. Fabulous shots, though!

 

I only wish I could get a good pic of my front side walls. Think I needed more air, was running 35, maybe next time I'll run ???

 

Thanks MOE4me and ChicagoMini for taking and sharing photos. The day was a great learning experience, and so much FUN! I'm glad that there are some pics to look at today. It was nice to meet and talk with you all during the short time we had between the classroom and driving. I know I will be looking forward to next time! I know I can go faster in that little circle!

 

Supertele spy photos...

Actually, I was only able to sneak in while you guys were doing those runs. I saw you walking over to the instruction area, but I didn't want to yell across the lot.

Maybe I'll get a chance to say "hey" at the custard run in a couple of weeks.

Great pictures, everyone!

Thanks for posting them.

Moe, you have a PM

 

Wow! Great pics MOE4me and ChicagoMini! Those are great! That was a blast, an absolute must for anyone next time they have one. I think I took a year off my tires! And it was great meeting you guys...

(btw, I was in the Pepper White with the Union Jack badge.)

 

only a year, you didnt drive hard enough then. LOL

 

Here are just a couple pictures that I took of the event. They don't compare to Moe4me's at all, though!




My wife on the slalom.


Checks!


Ana after the slalom...Having a blast.

And lastly,

The two best little girls in the world!
