    This will be my first trip to Limerock as well. Are you parking in the MINI Corral?

    Yes! Will be in the corral! We must get there early to get into the parade lap I'm told.

    For those attending the car show on Sunday, please be in the main gate at Lime Rock by 09:00. When entering mention that your are there to show off your MINI, you will be directed to the section on the track where the MINIs are parked. Look for Sharon (aka Seatrax). She will be the coordinator for the car show.

    On Monday (Labor Day) gates open at 07:00. The MINI corral is located on the infield right after you cross the bridge (same place as before). I will be at the the gate waving folks in. Lime Rock has allowed us 50 slots this year for the parade laps. As before, the first 50 cars in the corral will get a ticket for the parade lap.
    See everyone this weekend. Have a safe journey up to Lime Rock.

    Sharon's two cents:
    In the past 2 years we have been parked on the track in the same area. But the one thing to know, is that we are NOT part of CONCOURS on Sunday, so do not follow those signs (that will take you to the straight away and we cannot get on the track there).

    To get onto the track to find the MINIs:
    Enter at the Main Gate
    Proceed over the bridge to the infield.
    Make your first right, this will take you down to the track.
    Turn left, proceed with caution toward the backstraight and drive till you see other MINIs or the MINI Sign, usually right next to the BMWs.

    On the attached map, this roadway does not show, but it runs right near the "Skid Pad"
    Also if you have been to a MINI Corral on Monday it is the same road we use then to get onto the track Hope this helps out.
    "CHECKERS" is looking forward to seeing everyone there!!!

    You're welcome Crashton. Looking forward to more MINI's showing up next year. Especially on Sunday for the Car show. They really have a lot of cool cars. We need more MINI's representing!

    Very nice pictures! Thanks for sharing.

    I was delighted to be part of the Mini gathering, and enjoyed meeting many fellow "Mini-acs".

    Props to 'Nessa for the number - that was a nice touch...

    Cheers,

    Charlie
