MTTS: NJ to Limerock

I have registerred for the final leg of Mini takes the states from NJ to Limerock in CT. I am hoping to hook up with others from the area that are doing this leg so that we can get a group together going from CT to NJ. Anyone out there?

I am located in Vernon, CT. I work in Avon. I drive the BRG/BLK Cooper and pass no less than 10 different Minis enroute to work during the course of a week. Is this you?

Going down to NJ Sunday morning and staying at the Sheraton where the MINI HQ is located that night. Hope to hook up with others for an early drive to Lime Rock that includes some back roads. There was talk of this on another thread.

There's a few Ocean State MINI folks planning to head down - see that MINI2 chat and also:

We may go to DC, but probably not...let's see how many folks we can get from CT/Mass area. I don't know if it's me, but this area seems to be lacking enthusiasm!

Register On Mtts

If you are planning to come to Lime Rock on Monday, Sept 4th for the Rolex Historic Races, and the giant MINI gathering, you need to register on MTTS! (for the last leg)

You will get a free ticket, food and drink, and special MINI parking.

Do register NOW if you haven't already - registration closes on July 17.

Just ran across this thread and thought y'all might be interested.
An MTTS Flickr group has been started so we can get all Flickr photos in one pool. If you don't have a Flickr account, it's free to join and a really cool way to share pics.
Here is the Flickr MTTS address: http://flickr.com/groups/mtts

P/S: PBraun, we live in namesake cities. You in Norwalk, CT and I in Norwalk, CA.

For anyone going to Lime Rock at the end, there is a map on GPMINI.net which shows MTTS entry (bottom of map) and outfield parking, GP entry (top right) and infield parking, and the MINI exhibit area and hospitality ...

(click for larger)

The MINI group is staying at the Sheraton? I thought they were all staying at the Hyatt Regency in Jersey City....thats where I got a room. Damn, I though there were going to be some interesting parties and stuff going on there. I guess not.
