I drove down for that one. It was a fun day. My thoughts would be the eat and cruise with possibly a side trip to one of the fine historical museums in the area.

I was there at that meeting. I seem to remember that Chris was one of the organizers. He had just bought his MCS. I agree with Bob lets meet eat and do a cruise to a nice historical muesuems.

at 95 degrees today, I would say summer is still here! as for a time whatever is clever. I am down for anything. only problem with phil wicks is the price. why pay $500 for a weekend when you can do a PCA DE, or NASA DE for $225 for two days of driving?

Phils the man, but his prices arnt.

as for a list:

Erik B.

p.s. I saw your car today with the new rims, looks great!

(sorry for thread robbing)

You're right wicks is very overpriced for a two day school. Most two days are 300-350. I think a lot of MINI owners want to be around other MINI's while learning how to track their cars.

these guys still have room for next week if anyone wants to join me.
