The annual TRE Motorsports New Years hangover run went off without a hitch on Jan 1 as per usual. There was a entirely new route this year due to the report of higher authoritative observation in our usual haunt. The great thing about So Cal is that they were able to easily put together an entirely different 120 mile run which was just as varied and exciting as our normal route. As usual this group of approximately 130 cars was made up of some of the finest automotive iron available and very capable drivers. As far as I know there was not one ticket issued and no other incidents to report which unfortunately I can not say about the Mini run I went on two days prior. A poor classic mini managed a triple summersault into the trees but the driver was marginally injured. I forgot my camera so no photos of that event. In any event here are some of the highlights.

How many MINIs Randy? haha! Too bad I missed this run...

 

Those are some nice cars, I went on a 7 car run through Malibu that day. There was plenty of classic eye candy there too. Tonight I should have the pics up. I was the only MINI in my group, but I did see a few others in the hills throughout the day.

 

The Mini's are never that well represented on this run and I really do not know why as we have no problem hanging with them. I have been doing it every year since 02 and there have never been more than 3 or 4 at most. This year there were two Next year same time same place , TRE Motorsports .
