MINI's at The Glen this weekend

Hi all,
Sorry for the short notice. We'll be racing at The Glen this weekend June 10-11. I've been very busy repairing two cars after Laguna Seca and we just got our new truck and trailer. I've had to figure out where everything’s is going and do a complete inventory to boot.
If you are in the neighborhood, please come by and say hello.
We are expecting some VIP's to be around for the show. As always, we are happy to answer all questions and autograph posters for the fans.
Please drop in sand say hello.
Thanks
Tony

Give em HELL, pass at will, early and often ...

Wish I could be there, I will be at MINI driving school at Putnam Park, to learn how to drive like you

P.S.: Try to keep it on the track this time, we want a checkered flag

Well ... I was planning on being there...until I was rear-ended [HARD] by a SUV (woman driver ) last Friday.

The insurance adjuster hasn't decided yet (1) how much my 2005 Cooper is worth (10,000 mi); (2) how much it would cost to repair; and (3) whether or not to 'total' the car!!

Doesn't look to terrible from the outside - but the body shop (MINI dealer's regular shop) says there's major damage after you peel some panels away!

...I'm too upset to drive my Toyota Crapolla rental car 200+ miles.... guess I'll have to watch it on TV.

GOOD LUCK TONY!!! (I better have a MINI to drive before the race at Barber in July!!)

Fantastic news!!!

The Team only raced one MINI? I saw where only one qualified... And the one that did qualify (20 car) was dang near the back of the pack, so that's an incredible feat! What the heck happend though? The first two spots went to the Cobalts (congrats to them in their 1st year!), and they had best laps of 2:13 something, and our MINI 2:17? 4th place went to the 330 with a 2:12 best lap. Up to 16th place for ST best lap times were better than the MINI, yet we finished 3rd. Wow! We've had days like at Laguna where we had fastest lap, yet didn't finish, so I think there's some Karma involved here . Can't wait to see this on SPEED!

Tony & Team, a big CONGRATULATIONS to you guys!

I only caught the last part of the race.

#20 was in 7th I believe when there was major 6 car incident that put them up to third. With a few laps left they went green for one lap before another yellow took them to the checkered.

The #02 was 16th in class I think.

I can't wait to see Tony celebrating on the podium!
