Here's an invite to any of ya'll on the other side of the mountains to join us at Bristol for Speedway in Lights Powered by TVA. The cost is $12 per car and proceeds go to the Bristol Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities. We've been invited to come early for some photos on the Speedway. No lapping though as we might unplug the extension cord . After the pre-lights fun we'll leave for an early dinner at FATZ Cafe (www.fatzcafe.com) Then we'll return at dark to view the lights. Arrangements have been made for the MINIs to travel through the lights together as a group. The lights tour includes a run down the dragstrip and another turn around the banking of the Speedway to reach the Christmas Village at the infield.

Those of us from the Knoxville area will be meeting our tri-cities area MINI hostess, Robin, at the Virginia Welcome Center on I81 between 2:30 and 3:00 PM on Saturday December 9. Come and join us.

Edit: Oops, forgot this. PM or email me to let me know if you are interested to help with count for the restuarant.
