Just curious. I would like to get up there for at least one event this year. I think the race is on Sunday?

 

We'll be at Mid-Ohio August 26-28. Our race is on Sunday. We're looking forward to being back at MO as its a good track for us.
I'll post more details as we get closer. Right now we're getting ready for Barber and Trois Rivieres. Back to Back race July 29-30 and August 5-7.

Excellent. Also, if you need any help let me know.

 

sdmidget will be there "spectating" as usual!

 

I'll be there!! Finally found a room and booked it this morning. The SO isn't into camping.

 

I got to college right near MO...so i will try to make it out. Only problem is that is the first weekend everyone gets there:smile: So i gotta unpack

 

As per www.USMiniClub.com

We have canceled the Watkins Glen Rally and scheduled the Mid-OHIO after receiving email reply from Tony Nuzzo that they are definitely going to be there. To register and join a going group of MINI’s go to

This will be a three day event, about 11-12 hours each way. Here is the route map we have planned:

To Nuzzo....

I'm very interested in taking LOTS of "build" photos for future reference. Unfortuntly, I will unlikely be able to attend pre-weekend, even then till noon Saturday but am planning all day Sunday. Tentatively, what would be a convenient time for me to drop by and ask a lot of questions? Are the team and cars even accessable to the public?

 

Access to Tony's crew is never a problem .... you will, however, need a Paddock Pass......

 

Hi Race fans,
Just a short note to let you know we'll be at Mid-Ohio this weekend. Our race is on Sunday and we'll be running two cars. Mid-Ohio is a great spectator venue, you can picnic on the grassy hills or b-b-q under the trees. Heck you can even walk the paddock and check out all the team up close and personal. If you do make it out be sure and stop by and say hello.

My brother and dad will be there racing in the BMWCCA Club Races, so I told them to come over and say 'Hi'. My brother (Brett) has a red E30 M3, number is 042. Here's a picture for reference:



Say 'Hi' if you happen to see them. They should be with the BMS guys (Chris, Dan, etc.).

Good luck with your race!

 

Good luck this weekend at the races.

 

Sounds like a ROUGH, dangerous outing for the NUZZO MINIs AGAIN:

Why can't the other drivers STAY OFF THE MINIS ???

Wish I was there for Support and excitement !!!
