Dont know if this sort of thing would interest anyone but I would be willing to either drive or navigate on such a thing. $50 - $100 depending on date of sign up with 70% becoming 1st place purse.

Think cannonball run with Camera's and not costing $10000

 

Me and Sagespot are in!!! Sexy wife will be execellent navigator, my mini will be proudly displaying the eastern iowa mini sticker! We will be registering this weekend.

 

ohhh boy, here we go again.... when is it?

 

I didn't see any Minis in the video on their website - do we know if any have entered before? I'm thinking it should be quite fun.

 

yeah I didnt see any either but it would be cool to have a good showing of MINI's there a lot of people under estimate what they can do

 

Heh sounds like a fun event but I'd probably take my car over Walt as to not make Lisa nervous

 

well bring it allong I just want a lot of people to attend as it looks like a blast

 

Just a heads-up for folks who are interested in this event and have been on the fence -- the registration fee bumps up by $25 on May 15th. If you want to participate and haven't registered, you may want to do so within the next two weeks to save a bit of coin.

The link to the website is in Post #1 but here it is again for convenience:

Happy (and profitable) motoring!

 

So, does anyone know who's going to give this a whirl?

 

Yup, Talus and I are all registered. We were really pleased to see that our friend that owns a Smart car will also be in the race.

 

alas I will be unable to attend, seems as I have been double booked for that day. talus let us know how it goes !!

 

Well the Cornball Run was a ton of fun! The bad news first - we finished 4th. The good news was that we were only 10 minutes behind the first place winner and that's not too shabby considering the race was almost 4.5 hours long and around 290 miles total.

Can't wait to have a go next year! You can check out the photos on my album.

 

Thanks for posting the pics Sage! Looks like you covered a lot of ground yesterday. 10 minutes behind the winner is a great finish, and I'll bet your MINI attracted some attention too.

Glad you had a good time...thanks for representing the MINI world in such fine fashion!

 

Looks like it was a great time.. thanks for the pictures
