Our next stop is Vegas just in time for SEMA. If you're going to be in Vegas that weekend, come drive the R56 and bring your MINI to the car show on Nov 7th, 2009. The event is ***FREE*** and all you have to do is register online and show up at the track.

More info can be found here: http://www.abfmotoring.com/registration.html

cheers.

This event was much more fun than I thought it was going to be.. We really got to run those cars hard.. ( i wouldnt in a million years buy one of them used ). I thought I have run my MINIs hard at times,, not even close to its limits I now realize.. Unless you are a auto crosser, you wouldnt know. But i venture to say, that even the ones who do, found out more about the cars.. was a great day... the rain made it even more fun!

That's why you should all come out and autocross, obviously :wink:

A few of the talented phoenix autox guys seem to have made it out to the event. Sad I missed it, sounded like a good time.

I had a great time at the Saturday afternoon session. I could really get used to driving like that. I also got some really great ideas for alternatives to adding gauges to my MINI, so thank you to those of you who helped out with that. :)

thanks to all the MINI owners for coming out to the event. It's a great chance to push the R56 to the limits w/o worrying about getting into trouble with the cops or the road hazards. the rain really made it fun and shows how well the MINIs handle in the rain ;)

There will be another one later this year in Vegas (right around SEMA time)... for those who missed it last year and at the Phx event, keep an eye out for future events.

Our next event is next weekend at Santa Clara... very strong showing in the registration...

Thanks again to all for making the event a huge success.

cheers.
