Those bastards, I would kill to be in the Dragon right now... Damn finals and work... Don't they know some of us are just finishing up the semester right now?!!?!?

Oh well...

Where are those of you who "are not there" going to rip your MINI this weekend?

I'm going to drive some canyons here on the front range, which are probably better then the dragon (less traffic), this weekend to compensate. Maybe after my final tommorow at 9am. :impatient

Give me the lowdown so I don't feel so bad!

College kids at the Dragon, Check it out.

I'm picking Pearl up from service in the morning (hoping the dealer gives her a regular cleaning so I have an excuse to wax again, afterall it has been two weeks), then I'll probably hit up some local twisties; if anyone knows of an autox in Chicago this weekend let me know I'm craving track time right now.

I got to drive some GA AL TN backroads on my way home from school about a week ago, 1000 apexes and maybe 10 cars in about 6 hours most fun I had since Phil Wicks a month earlier

 

Have fun motoring! Don't feel bad, there are some of us that don't even have MINI's yet!

Happy motoring!

man, i would love to hit up a track sometime. ive never been

 

I went in as a cocky wise--- and came out with a much deeper understanding and with loads and loads of confidance. I think I qualify for HPDE 3 or 4 after the class I took but I'd enjoy running in group 2 for the rest of the year, get an instructor the full day and just absorb more and more info. Also NASA has very strict passing rules in the lower # groups so there is very little of any cars showing up where you don't expect them.

But be warned this is a highly addictive activity and gets quite costly to keep your vehicle at the minimum 100% techincally prepared. (Lots of tread, brake life, good fluid, fresh oil, clean filters and so on all must be just perfect each time you go out to make sure that everyone can drive home at the end of the day)

 

I'm going to rip my MINI around my little neighborhood as usual. Sounds pretty tame, but after driving a Dodge Stratus rental all week I'm just thankful to be back in my MINI!!

 

sounds SOOOOO much fun. I just know nothing of track events, when, where, pricing.

You would figure the Socal part of this board would have some life but its fairly dead too.
