Here's some teaser photos from the Show Low & Payson fun-run Aug 2nd. 13 MINIs, 1 Lotus Esprit and 22 people motored nearly 400 miles around Arizona's high country.

Candace and I got separated from the group. I pulled over and waityed for about 5 minutes and Candace showed up. I knew there were another three of four more to come. So we both waited. A female officer showed up and was kind enough to allow us to photo her car.

BTW, Gold is much better looking in person out in natural light than it is on the showroom floor.

Next time come in this direction (South to Tucson) again! We have a number of new Minis, but not organized yet. We have a some New Mini owners that do not yet know how to flick their lights or give the "thumbs up." They have never owned a car wthere the owners liked each other OR their cars for that matter! We are working on it!

I'm heading down to Tucson on Friday evening for the AMO member's meeting.

http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/amo/events.htm

or email Braney at (barneyrael@aol.com) with AMO in the subject line and he'll give you directions.

This will be my first club meeting I'll be attending. I've met the president and some of the members at various other events. Some good things will be discussed there.

Okay, this one everyone who is anti SUV will like. What you don't hear is one of the MINI enthusiasts yelling at the guy in the Expedition, "We have you surrounded", the driver laughed.

Dom,

Please forward this to the Mini folks.


Here are some sites with info on "arrive and drive" programs.
http://www.nasa-az.org/nasa/index.htm
http://www.scca.org/
http://www.azsportsracing.org/front.asp
http://www.az-region-scca.org/
http://www.proautosports.com/ARIZONA.html

Most require some type of membership dues, but they are all a relatively
inexpensive way to get track time.


This is the event that let's you get a lot of track time, and it's $195.00.
A lot of fun, and very safe, lot's of room for run-off, and the people are
there to have fun, unlike some others series where politics ruin the fun.
It's the one I recommend.

From the "odd-one-out" Lotus dude.

Enjoyed hanging with you guys on Saturday, thanks for letting me tag along.

Mark
