bump...

Anyone setting up a MINI meet at E-town any time soon?

I haven't been out yet this year. Not fun to be the only MINI at the dragstrip.

How about Saturday May 9th for the morning session test & tune which starts at 10am? And it's the same day as an SCCA Autocross event at 8am for those that want to see that too. Dunno anything about it. I'm more of a drag racer than an auto crosser. :-)

Anyway, gives people enough time to plan for it. Who's up for a morning of cool air drag racing before it gets really hot out?

Sorry folks, weather still looks iffy for tomorrow morning. Calling for showers to continue into the early AM and then it should stop by noon. But I know the air quality is gonna suck for drag racing. Ain't worth the trip out to the track. So, sorry, I'm gonna skip E-town tomorrow. I'd rather go on a much nicer day.
