MINI RACERS CAN WIN MONEY FROM MINI USA

MINI Motorsports Awards Program for SCCA and NASA MINI Competitors

Woodcliff Lake, NJ February 27, 2003.... MINI USA announces financial support for
MINI drivers competing in grassroots Motorsports. To show support for privateers, MINIUSA will award MINI race teams prize money for successful national grassroots-level motorsport competition in both Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) and the National Auto Sports Association (NASA) US Touring Car Championship (USTCC) events.
Motorsport enthusiasts have taken MINI to heart thanks to the cars™ great handling and performance. Owners now have an additional incentive to compete by being eligible to win up to $7,500 depending on their standing in each given series. Both the new MINI (2002+) and the classic MINI (1959+) body style are eligible for prize money.
MINI has a rich motorsport heritage that started soon after the car™s introduction in
1959 and Classic MINI became a legendary giant-killer in a host of road-race and rally championships. This continues today with many privateers campaigning both new and old MINIs in various motorsport events, including rallying, autocrossing and road racing.
An excellent motorsport pedigree combined with the superb dynamics, make MINI an ideal choice for anyone who wants to drive competitively in sanctioned motorsport
said Jack Pitney, MINI general manager. MINI offers a lot of bang for the buck to
grassroots motorsport enthusiasts. This is our way of saying, ‚thank you™ and
encouraging MINI owners to ‚get out there and give it a go™.

This is it folks. If you want the information, I'll send it to you. Please be serious about it though. If you have no intention of seriously racing competitively, please don't ask for the info. I would just post it, but there's alot. I will only be able to send out the info 8-5 central time.

 

I'd seriously look at that!

 

I'd love to take a look at that.. wanna get into racing.. seems like a good way to start

 

Do all the dealers have the info? If not shoot me a PM and I'll give you my address. I'll be running the SCCA National Tour in San Diego in 2 weeks.

Thanks
Keith

 

I'd like info with regards to the SCCA National Tour as well.

 

MINIJewel, you have a private message

This sort of factory support sounds very intriguing and exciting. I am thrilled to hear that MINIUSA is as enthusiastic about amateur MINI racing as we are about our MINI's

 

I'll get the info to all of you this afternoon. PM me your e-mail address, otherwise, I'll PM it to you.
All the dealers should have this info available. Just tell them to check the Bulletins.
Aimee

 

Thanks Aimee! Look forward to reading all the details!

 

I will have to send it in an email. It will not work right to transfer it to a PM, or to posting it.
It is in a .pdf format. You will need Acrobat Reaader.
Sorry about that.
Aimee

 

I'm sure you can get some benevolent, helpful soul to host the .pdf for you so that you can just link to it......

Anyone with some server space and bandwidth to volunteer?
