59-71 Orange Turnpike
Sloatsburg, NY 10974

I invited a couple other non MINI owners to make it more worthwhile. But we will see if they commit.

Opinions?
That sounds perfect, easy route for me to that location. I also invited a few non-MINI's..should be good

Awesome. For those that don't know, that address is for a mini shopping center. Also, please be aware that the speed limit is 35 in that town and is enforced. We will have our fun in Harriman.

See you all tomorrow AM.

i really wanted to make this as I just put on a set of S-lites with 17" Dunlop SP9000s - but found that theres a nail in one of them and at least 2 of them have some rubber cracking in between the treads so only local driving for me for now.

Hopefully see you all at the Monmouth meet.

Steve, very nicely done car. Thanks for coming out.

John, you really know how to push your car after only 3 days of owning it.

I hope to see you all really soon.

I am going up to Rhode Island these next 2 weekends. Anyone interested in a Merritt Pkwy run?

Activities for your Mini

You all should come Autocross (also called Solo)
NNJSCCA runs at Meadowlands (also some schools and MSNE Events too).
It's a blast and open to all cars, but personally I would love to see more Minis out there... I started last year and met some great people who are helping me a lot.
Check out AutoX4u(dot-com) for the full schedule.
Feel free to email me and I'll tell you all about my adventure in AutoX

I'm definitely interested, already signed up with SCCA. I'm going to try and attend during the month of April, either the evo school or solo runs.
