Big Thanks to NorCal Minis

I just wanted to thank Carol, Larry, Tami,.... and all of you who worked hard on making the Monterey Event mailings, organizing the Car Corral, and Parade Laps.... I know it wasn't easy. I wasn't able to make the pub event as planned but heard it was great as well. I'm sure others appreciate it too.

We second that!!! We had a great time on Saturday. Didn't make the pub event as the baby was a little tired. Next time for sure.

Thanks again for all the hard work

A big thank you is in order(carol) for the work that was involved in getting this off the ground. I returned and did the 2nd round of parade laps, which was a plus. The track officials did not have to accommodate us (MINIs) with an another opportunity to get on the track, but they did. The pub night was a blast with many prizes to go around.

side note: for the blue classic mini owner(whiner)(you know who you are) with the temper problem, I hope you are not an example of your club in general.

Had a great time.

Carrol, Larry, and all the rest at NorCal MINI's.... Thank you very much for your efforts!!

The parade laps were fun, if not well suited for the time, or how it was done, or whatever... but they made up for it in the afternoon, so for me, it's all good.

The Penny Farthing got a little over run by our little cars but that was great fun too!

Thanks Again!!!

Thanks again NorCal MINIs for organzing this the way you did. The parade laps were AMAZING (I was in tears remembering it later in the day). And everything was top-notch too. Thanks again to Carol and everyone @ NorCal MINIs for their hard work.

Once I get my "InCar" video transferred and cut, I'll get it posted somewhere. You can hear my runfalts SCREAMING for traction a few times. It was a KICK!

Carol, you looked exhausted when we saw you late at the track on Saturday. We just want you to know that we really appreciate all the work you and everyone else put into this event so everyone else could have a great time! I'm still on car guy sensory overload trying to come off of the high!

Thanks again!
Dave & Cuilan

BTW, Dr. Dave, your saturday morning route saved our butts getting home on Sunday night. No traffic at all and enjoyed all the miles of twisty bits with a beautiful sunset. What a weekend!!!

Carol,

Adding my thanks for mailing me a corral parking pass and for your efforts to organize a great event. Getting a second chance to drive on the track was the highlight of our day.

It really was the center of the MINI universe for a couple of days!

The thanks goes to all of you for being there to make it such a great event!
I would also like to thank MINIUSA for getting us back on the track and to Dean, I forgot the other guys name (sorry) and Ann from SCAMP for helping us Saturday as well.

Still on my way home after the accident yesturday. Even though not my fault it's hard to shake. I was the third car turning on a green left arrow. All of a sudden there was a kid on a bike in front of me. I wasn't going fast but still no room to stop. I don't know if he was hurt. Told him to wait for the police but he got on the bicycle and took off. So I moved the car to let traffic clear and wait for the police. Some lady yells at me that I'm leaving the scene when I wasn't. If she was so observant she would of seen the kid had fled. I don't get it, didn't he see the cars moving? Spent the rest of the morning at the station filling out a report. Barry you were behind me and I need a witness.

Now I can't wait to arrive home!
