 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.

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.

 When you go watch. Alice is crying because she wants play with the other kids on the track and you don't let her.

I can't do the event on the 30th, but I do want to try it later this spring/summer.  I'll look forward to the schedule when it's available.

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.

We should have quite a field of MINI's during the regular season.  I know of 4 that will be at every event.  3 MCS's and my MC.

Last year I got hooked on drag racing, now I am hooked on autocrossing as well.

Waiting to start

Mike coming out of the first set of corners

Mike again coming out of large 180 curve

In a corner

Finishing up!

This was a blast, look forward to the next race, whatever kind.

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.

  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.

I'll try to make the next one, but the schedule is very full these days.  All excuses aside, I will make the leap...
