Attending! Can't wait for that parade lap around this legendary track!

 

That would be so cool, but I have used all of my vacation time. I got to do a parade lap of the Indianapolis Speedway a few years back in my Fiesta. Would love to do that again on other tracks.

 

Great event! I estimated around 200 MINIS showed up. Laps on the track were amazing!!!!!! Can't wait to do it again next year 😀

 

Looks like a great turnout! Sad I missed it this year.

 

I was there, and I'll second that opinion regarding track laps. I didn't have much in the way of expectations for it, but with such a low cost why not? Turns out the parade laps were 3 of the full circuit, and I'll say they were SPIRITED!!!!!!!! Can't wait to do that again.....after a brake upgrade, of course!

 

I thought for a minute you were there - one of the cars in the concours was a blue Hampton with NY plates and some Bills bling adorning it...but clearly not you!

 

That was probably the same Hampton that came last year. He and I had the only two Hampton there. If it’s the same guy, and I assume it was, he is connected to the Mini of Rochester team.

 

Probably was - sporting a MINI of Rochester badge on the grill. No sunroof. His name's Matt, said he doesn't post here on NAM.

 

This picture was from last year, at the meet-up at Mini of Rochester. His car is at the front, and mine is 3 cars back, behind the coupe.

 

That was him - thanks Nik.
