Once again the fine folks from the Missouri Valley Chapter of BMWCCA have extended an invite to the members of CORN and any other Cooper owners to join them for a great time.

Here is the information posted on their site:

 

I moved this to stick land to make sure you all get to see it. Please respond here if you plan on attending. It is less than 2 months away.
Then the Monday after Trogdor and the Dragon Wagon depart for N.C. (Dragon Baby Yea)

 

There are only to MINI people signed up.....I thought you guys were drivers? :-O

Trust me, there is more to driving than Dodge St or I80. Come learn what you can do in your MINI given the chance with some open road. Not only will you have the freedom to drive as you wish on a closed course but you will have a instructor with you to be sure you are doing it right and giving pointers so you can become better.

Become one with your MINI, do a driver's school !!

 

Allright I am signed up!!

 

Only 13 more days left to register !!!
Sheridan

 

oh man I really wanted to sign up for and so did Andrea. I just don't think we can both afford it this time. I guess I'll have to stick to autocross this year. curses!!

 

flip a coin...draw straws...ladies first? you don't know what you are missingggg.

Well I was going to go to this event till yesterday afternoon when I was playing Paintball and my wrist decided to fracture on me. so now i am sporting this nice wrist cast. needless to say I cannot grip the wheel well enough to race around

so yeah i am not to happy about it

 

Sorry to hear that James. Any chance you want to just drive out for the day? Would like to see you there even if you are not able to drive. You just might get a ride along with an instructor.

 

I never played paintball before and my buddies were like it will be fun. that was fun till I decided to be like rambo.

I canceled my day of vacation already and i have been doing office work, like answering phones and filling out papers. I have to save up my vacation because i am now limited to 8 hours a day no overtime for the forseeable future

 

Just so you guys know, you really missed out on a great time. Snow on Friday morning, rain all day Saturday. As my instructor said rain is the MINI equalizer. It was true Trogdor was all over a Rouch Mustang. Sunday was another story Sunny 58 degrees and my first time on the track with DSC off. Oh what fun.

I am on the way to the "Dragon" will post some video when I get some editing done. You may have to wait till I get back.

Thanks for coming out Jim... we had a pretty decent game of cat/mouse going on until I grenaded 12... that was... not brilliant.

we need to start coordinating our track days... it's nice to have someone about the same speed, but doing it in a very different way!

 

also... I'm trying to find a good picture of me on-track that I can have blown-up and framed (a kind of "i survived" trophy)... if you see anything good, let me know.

 

Would you like me to take a freeze shot from the rear view of you "pulling the pin" on 12? I think I can make that happen as well as some from my miniDV when you were in front of me on turn 3.
I will see what I can find. May be next week before I get that far. You know Dragon and all. Spending the night in Nashville I will be on the Dragon after noon. I will let you know when I get it set.

 

sounds awesome... absolutely awesome. "pulling the pin" = ubnerroffle

 

Twist Pull Pin...... oh yea count to five.
Three Sir.
Three

 

epic roffle... you can even see how horrid-awful early I was!!!

 

and what I really want is when the exhaust on the E30 drowns out the SC on the Mini... that was great!

 

Maybe this is more to your taste!

 

roffle... those were some UGLY laps, btw.

have I mentioned that I HATE rain.
