If anybody is interested the UW racing team is sponsoring an autocross event. It is on Jan 30th Sunday at Boeing Everett. 25.00 pre-register 30.00 at event. www.wwscc.org If you have never raced your mini you are Novice. I'm hoping to go but not sure yet. It is a rain or shine event. I will be posting the 2005 autocross schedules as soon as they become available. Edited by mikesminirox |

We like to go up there and watch. It's always entertaining and some of the rigs people autocross are truly amazing. (Oldsmobile Cutlass?) If you are going to go watch, don't go around lunch time as that's when they take a break. It's free to watch. You have to sign a release but that's all. |

Ok read your PM, willco. Rob Spectators from the club is what we need, someone to take some pics. If I bring my camera can you take some pics? Mostly of my car, but some of the others would be cool too. |

You are of course very welcome. Did the picture of you (Wayne) in the helmet come out? You were grinning in a nervous sort of way. I liked the look. Also, I know there was one of Mike going through the last gate sideways. How about posting that. It was pretty fun watching you guys drive but the best part was when you came back, got out of the car and started hopping around on the adrenaline. I liked Mikes movies too. Really looks like a lot more fun from the inside. When you went out for your work shift, I hung around for a few more minutes. There were a bunch of folks standing around a new 300ZX. One of them took his camera and wanted to take a pix of our cars sitting all pretty and cute. There were a lot of folks in the picture and finally he announced in loud voice, "If you are not a MINI, get out of the picture." See, even Nissan drivers have good taste. |

Rob It definetly is more fun from the inside. You need to try it some time. If you want we could dual drive using my mini. Food for thought. It is an adrenaline rush. Next event in Everett March 13th. Mike
