MINI Track Day, Corral & Race
Holy cow guys, I just found out about this (and they call me "marketing communications" !)
You know that Phil Wicks Mini Academy track day at Laguna Seca scheduled for Wednesday, December 14? Well, there's a MINI CHALLENGE 4 RACE and CORRAL attached to that! Who knew??! (Apparently, members of MOASF and NorCal MINIs might have.)
This is an all-Mini / MINI event celebrating Phil Wicks' Golden Julbilee of 50 years of racing. Phil and friends will have the track to ourselves for the day, and there is truly something for every kind of car and driver.
RACE: must have fully race-prepared Classic Mini, variant, or New MINI with safety gear and logbook, competition license. Classic and New MINIs will run in different groups on the same grid; two practice sessions in the morning, race in the afternoon. Additional test and tune time -- with limited passing -- is available during Phil's Driving School track sessions, at no extra charge. We can't be official about the price just yet, but the estimate is quite reasonable.
TRACK DAY: Any street-legal Mini/MINI, driver should have sense of adventure and desire to learn to better handle his/her car. Expert class for competition-licensed participants. See Phil Wicks' website for requirements and cost.
CORRAL: Track sessions a bit much for you? Bring your Mini / MINI, park and watch, and yes, THERE WILL BE PARADE LAPS. Which last time I heard some folks exclaim they got up to 80 MPH on the straightaways, just trying to keep up with the pace car. I understand there is also a concours and swap meet happening at the same time, so there will be plenty of 'eye candy'!
This will be a rain-or-shine event, and space will be limited. And really, that's about all I know right now. Expect the marketing blitz to begin in the near future!
Cheers, and I will DEFinitely see you there! Jan at Mini Mania
