Looks like we will have some players, great! I think I will call this rally “The 1st MMR (Montrose Mini Rally). I do not have all the details down yet, but I will give you the nuts and bolts for now. (1) This will be a “Course Marker Rally”. The Rally Master has signs placed along the intended route - some signs have information which you copy onto your scorecard (for scoring) and others have course-following information. The sign markers you copy on your scorecard distinguish among teams who traveled the correct route. (2) The route will be something like this; from Montrose, 210 fwy to 5 fwy north. 126 west to the Pacific Coast Highway going south then back to the finish at Montrose. Of course the route will be more laid-out (& not all freeway driving) when things are finalized. I think this path should keep us out of most heavy traffic areas and include some great scenic driving along the way. (3) The day will most likely be a Sunday in January or February 2008. I will need help making this rally work, so if you can contribute let me know how. Here are some help areas; (A) Trophy’s for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place are needed, (B) Someone that can help me set-up a “MMR” web site (as opposed to “MySpace”) to track entries & rally details, etc. I am trying to keep the Rally at a no-cost or very low-cost event for everyone that wants to have some motoring fun with their Mini Cooper buddies, so any help will keep the cost down. I will post more detail later…

[FONT=Arial]No, you won’t be late for the 1st rally; it will most likely happen mid to late February 2008. Also the web site (to sign-up) should be on-line in a week or two. I will post the web address then…[/FONT]
The run on December 30th is hosted by MOALA (Mini Owners of America Los Angeles) there will be cars from both MOALA club and SCMM club and also non club members there hopefully. Look forward to seeing everyone there, and hopefully there will be a pretty good outcome! Fine out more about it by clicking HERE!
