The historic car races now known as the Motorsports Reunion are coming up August 18/19 at Laguna Seca raceway in Monterey, CA. Shelby Cobra is the marque car this year. Here is a link to the website for information: Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion - Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca Hopefully we can get a group to caravan to the races. Let me know if you are also interested in going to the races. Prices are $70 Sat, $60 Sun, or $100 for Sat & Sun. VIP parking is $75 for Fri/Sat/Sun. If we have a group going I might spring for VIP parking so we can have close food/drink at my car. Tickets must be ordered by Aug 3rd to be mailed to you.
Keep in mind that everyone is welcome to come and visit the only Mini Cooper S running in this event. The "Monty Mini" from Mini Mania will be proud to represent the entire Mini/MINI community at this event- visit us in the pits. Look for the Red #177 Classic Mini Cooper.

I posted about 90 photos, on our CCMC Flickr page, from our 08/17/2012 trip to Laguna Seca for the Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Michael Favorite and I attended the races (also with non-club member Don) . Since Shelby Cobra was the marque car for this year there were many Cobras at the event and a great display of historic Cobras. There were 17 different classes of cars racing so a lot to see. Here is a link to the set on Flickr: 08/17/12: Laguna Seca Reunion - a set on Flickr I suggest looking at the photos with detail selected to see the photo titles where I tried to identify the year and model of the cars. In the photo description I added the group classification for the car and sometimes a little info about the car or driver.
Breaking News! We will have the new GP2 2013 on display in the Laguna Seca Mini Corral for the Continental Sports Car Festival Sept 8-9, 2012. This is the Fastest Factory MINI Cooper ever built. I will post more details shortly. Please share this information with all your Mini freinds. This is a pre-production model which will be available next year.
