    While a lot of the country was being battered with snow and sleet, MINI Thunder participants were enjoying a bright sunny warm day (65F+) with a full field of Minis for day of "on-track" fun. Here is a video taken of the group shot setup at lunch.

    We asked TWINI to behave and keep it slow for the parade laps. Jacques must have listened to me. Otherwise when he went out with the Race-Prep groups he was flyin'

    While TWINI was going slow during the parade laps at Thunderhill. Here is some video of when he was going a "bit" faster.
