19 signed up as of right now, I think this might be bigger than we expected.

 

Here are more details and I will have map and hand-out at Starbucks:

o Tourmeister: Bahman Moghadam 719-502-0729

 

That's OK. some will drop off and some un-registered will show up. We should consider cutting it off at 20, though. Maybe this Wed. pm.

 

To all those who have signed up:

I’d like to make a roster of all drivers and passengers, so everyone gets to meet and know the others’ name, etc. I know I have been to a number of events, where I could not tell from the code names who the people were.

Please send me your name (first and last), passerger/co-driver's name, model (C, CS, JCW, etc.), style (HB, Conv, Clubman, etc.), year, color, home town, and your cell phone #. If any of the info is private, and even if you don't want to reply, that's OK. It's just a big group, and knowing the participants by their real names will help with the logistics, etc.

Bahman

 

Sent you a pm.

 

I'm in with a MINI load of people!!

 

See ya all there.

 

Lighthouse,
Got your email. Still need your car's year, model, style, color (unless you prefer to not provide)

To All:

Thanks to the overwhelming and gratifying reponses, as of 12:00 noon on Wed 09/22, we have 21 cars entered.

In the interest of saftey and logistics managment, I would like to cut-off further registration, and limit the participants to those who have signed up by now.

There may be some drop outs at the last minute. If you would like to be on the standby list, pls send me a private NAM mail (bahman), and I will let you know by noon Friday if there is room.

Those of you who have not yet sent me your information for the roster, please do so soon.

This should be fun. You might want me to be the drag car since I will be driving like 3 mph on the gravel part.

 

Wa really looking forward to the drive but had to cancel for last minute plans. Would like to see some aewsome pics though.
Thanks,

Wheeew, that was a great run!

Thanks to all for showing up and enjoying a perfect day!

Thank you Bahman, for planning and funding this one. I'm not sure how you

arranged for the weather, couldn't have been better.

I know my MINI is filthy dirty, so Chuck is going to be in shock for a while.

I Had a blast at my first gtg. I plan on making more events in the future! I'm posting pics from the run. Enjoy!

Great Run! Bahman, thanks for setting it up!

 

This was a great run, thanks Bahman! I drove from the top of the peak down to Woodland back way to Deckers on 67 then to Evergreen, up Squaw pass and then over Berthoud to Winter Park. Logged a 300 mile day and the weather and colors could not have been better.
Now for the dirt on my MINI - tomorrow it will be gone.

 

Thanks Bahman! Very well organized and fun. Came back with Chris/David through Woodland Park and Sedalia. More dirt between Deckers and Sedalia (no problem -- already dusty). Thanks for a great day. See the link of my video from the 2nd stop to the top (less a few sections edited out), plus still photos. The video of the way down didnt' succeed (dead battery?). Thanks again, Bahman.

Thanks Bahman for setting this up and planning it out perfectly. And thanks everyone for coming out, we had a great turnout and I hope to see everyone at more events in the future.

 

Thanks Bahman had a great time and my passenger is getting closer to getting a Mini with each run weather was perfect and the doughnuts pretty good too. Brakes were at 123 at checkpoint
See everyone soon

 

Neat video Rick, too bad you couldn't hear your S/C whine or exhaust, or the
Ranger scolding us.

 

To all who participated in this run:

Thank you for coming and making this a success. There has been suggestions to make this an annual run, and I am all for it. Let's start thinking of one next Sept.

I also want to thank Bryan Williamson (miniconcarne) who helped tremendously in planning and organizing this event.

Have a question: How did the two "tail-gunners" end up being together as the last two cars in the whole caravan?

Rick, thank you for the video and the pics, nicely done.

8th Note, thank you for posting the pictures as well.

Bahman
