Our own John Styers is planning a weekend run in May, all are welcome! John writes: Hey fellow Mini Owners! Wanted to let you know that my buddy, Russ Amos and I are planning an Ozarks weekend drive for May 11-13...yes, that is Mother’s Day weekend. While we are planning this on behalf of the Midwest Se7ens group, it is open to other clubs/drivers with a passion for the Arkansas/Missouri back roads. Each day will include a fun run that will return us to the hotel in the early afternoon (2ish), however, plenty of opportunities to head back out in the late afternoon if one so desires. Thursday Arrival to Mountain Home, AR Friday 9am Departure for South Loop run, including Push Mountain Road Saturday 9am Departure for North Loop run, including Peel Ferry Sunday...optional run through Push Mountain Road and head home Host hotel is the Ramada Inn,1127 Hwy 62 E, Mountain Home, AR 72653; (870-425-9191); we are working a group rate now. Rack rate right now is $69 I'll be there with my MINI/Mini
Come join us! There will be all sorts of Brtimobiles there - 7/Caterhams, TRs, MGs Minis....who knows. The point is to drive some great roads and have fun.
That is tempting.. I’m a sucker for those cars.. my dad had a tr4 and a buddy had a tr6.. Could the GP2 join?
Absolutely, bring it! One of the fellas is working on his "hot rod" Mini, but it may not be ready, if not he's bringing his 500 hp RX-7!
Lol I have a buddy who races and RX7... he has a short I tried to fine to post a picture... basically it shows a rotary engine with the tag line... “we believe”. Funny as all get out if you’ve ever worked on them.
Dave, as luck would have it we have a club event planned down that way on the immediately following Thursday thru Sunday (17-20). Our group is taking over a lodge south of Yellville near the Buffalo River. Looking forward to exploring some new roads over in that area as we never seem to have time to get over there during MITO. I'll be bringing my '13 R59 instead of the '77 for this trip.
Finding an open weekend is always a challenge in May, hope you guys have a terrific trip, I'm sure we'll cross paths this year sometime....Are you doing CMU 59 in Tenn in April? I'll be there with my green Mini.
I finally managed to get on the CMU distribution list but will likely miss the April gathering due to work commitments. Also, I've been rebuilding the suspension and welding up some inner wing cracks; need to get out on the road after the snow melts to make sure it all hangs together. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for path-crossing opportunities.
