If you've never participated in a Drivers Education event, TRY IT!!! There's nothing like driving your MINI on a race track at speeds you wouldn't consider on the streets. This event will provide you with a safe and controlled environment to help you learn how to safely drive your MINI on the track. Instructors are available to coach you around the track. There is no 'embarrassment' involved - everyone is very supportive and helpful. Learning how your MINI reacts at speed will help you become a better defensive driver. Most of all, it is FUN and EXHILARATING!! Will you get enough track time? - don't worry, you will be 'drained' at the end of the day from the concentration and adrenaline rush....

If you've 'been there done that' - remember the big SMILE you had at the end of the day??? Do you still like to 'speed' on the streets?? Remember how 'calmly' you drove home from the event?? Come to the DE and get the 'speed' out of your system again - legally!!

Here is the best deal - we are having a drawing for an entry pass to this event. See requirements here.

Woo-hoo...I'll definitely join this one. Been looking forward to participating after seeing pics of the first one. My MINI shoul be in by late Sept/early oct. Hope I can get it broken in by the time this comes up. There a limit to cars that can participate and a deadline for reg?

 

Darmog, there is a limit for safety reasons, but Hooked on Driving will do their best to accommodate everyone.

They will accept registrants at the gate provided there is room, but I recommend you don't wait till the last minute! Some run groups may fill up faster than others...

Dont wait, get a spot and an instructor by registering early. This is going to be a great MINI day!

 

Think I'll register.
Sounds like fun!

 

Excellent, will be nice to see you again kmickey... lets try to get some of the other quick MINI's to join us..

 

Looking forward to it!

Matt

faster maybe not, but I've met TONS that are younger and prettier!

And if I'm out there, I'd love it if you'd do a session or two with me to point out just how bad I am, and some areas for rapid improvement!

(If you do, I promise not to make too many younger prettier comments!)

+1 What Matt said.......
Just signed up as well, group C.
See you there.....

 

Back to the reason for this thread....the EVENT!

It's looking like we will have a good group of people who have all atleast met one another before....lets all get there early, claim our shady spots and have a great day. Those looking to pick up a few tips here and there and to get a ride for a different perspective should PM me....

For anyone else out there considering coming out, even if its your first time, read between the lines on this thread. This is a MINI community event with a lot of great people, come out and have some fun and learn more about your MINI....

 

So, who else is attending?

ken

 

Hmmm debating.

I really, really, really want to and it should be a total hoot in the MINI, but I've already learned what happens when I start doing track days (at least on my motorcycle... eventually started racing). The track is like crack.

Hmm.

I promise, trackdays are addictive, but if you are only going to do one or two a year, come do the all MINI event...its a blast to see all the MINI's out there having fun together!!!

 

Ken,
Is there a place we can go to see who has signed up?
thanks,

 

Willum, there isn't a public list available for privacy reasons...

Maybe you can start another thread for attendees and see if people will 'check-in'??

k

 

Willum,

I'll be there with the Pooper. See ya then.

Cheers,

 

COOL....it's been so long that the MINI has been on a real run it's going to be hard to hold her back. Been doin' autox down in Atwater but thats about it.
See you there......where you going to stay?

 

I've signed up - Grp B to start with. I'm soo looking forward to my first dose of Track Crack in years. It will be nice to meet you all at the track.

 

So, I'm the only noob in Group A??

 

Dont worry Darmog...Group A will be full Im sure. There will be plenty of instructors and plenty of time for you to work on gaining the skills to get you into group B. Make sure you get a logbook and have your instructors sign it and give you feedback...

 

Unixgal, congratulations for taking the plunge!! You'll love it.

Darmog, don't worry, Group A is usually the largest run group - you'll have plenty of company and tons of fun!!
