Here's your last chance to catch the marvelous Minis in action at a world class track! The season has been full of ups and downs for all of us, but it's all coming to a close in November!




Shiva was T-boned hard in the right rear quarter at the last race at Buttonwillow. The suspension parts that were destroyed have been replaced and the quarter panel is due in the paint booth this week. An alignment, a wheel change and we'll be ready to defend our current points position as US Touring Car Championship's Rookie of the Year. Currently, we hold the #3 position overall, but that's going to be harder to keep unless the front runners do their demo derby thing again. Whatever happens will be exciting! #37 will be ready to rumble!

We expect Canyon Bob Scheer to be there with Hubie Fuh's fire breathing Mini turbo engine aboard his impeccably prepared #4 race car. I will probably see him only briefly on the grid and then on the podium.





Rich Peterson's #58 black Mini should also be there and it will be lots of fun to dice with him.


That's three Minis on the grid - more than any other marque. If we all take the green flag, MINI will win the Manufacturer's title handily. But how will we place in the race? Come see for yourself as the 2008 racing season passes into history.

 

Update from Bob Scheer:

The #4 MINI is done for the season.

The last race we broke our last engine. Dropped a valve in #1 & #4 cylinder.

We have no spares left to put an engine together in time for the last USTCC race.

Best of luck & be safe.

I'm rooting for YOU Jerry!

If any of you will be in NorCal this weekend, we'd love to see you at Sears Point.

Norm from REME is trying to organize a run. Here's the thread. LINK.

 

We are setting up a MINI Corrral in the Paddock. Any MINI/Minis that are attending, please feel free to join us to root on our MC drivers. Just follow the signs at the entry gate. We will be just inside turn #1 near the bridge that goes over to the carousel (#6). There will be Minis Only Parking. We hope to great a BIG turnout.

Bring a folding chair, camera, and a cooler.

 

I will be going out to Infineon this afternoon to set up the MINI corral space. Please chime in if you plan to come out either Saturday or Sunday or both. It would be great to get an estimate of how many to expect.
Thanks,
Norm

 

When you enter the paddock, stay along the perimeter, to the left, past Wine Country Motorsports, and snack bar, and along some of the garages. follow the outside and there will be signs Mini Cooper Corral with arrows. We are setup just on the inside of turn #1 in front of the Russell School garages.
If anyone directs you up the hill to outside parking, tell them that you are parking in the Mini Cooper Corral. If there are any questions tell them to contact Jerry Kunzman.
