    I was going to skip this race this year and instead go to the Pirelli Challenge race in September (first time for the Pirelli Challenge at Laguna Seca). There is an Auto-X the same weekend. Now you got me thinking about going to this race instead of the Auto-X.

    As promised, more great news: MINI USA has graciously offered to provide lunch to ALL the Mini owners that will have their MINIs in the corral on Saturday. MINI USA is also sponsoring the corral and tenting. They will be bringing out loads of COOL stuff, including goodie bags. THANK YOU MINI USA . OK now Let's Motor and Let's PARTY!

    Why list the top speed for the U.S. in Km/h ? That just silly.

    246kph= 152.8573mph

    Here is the line-up of MINI Cooper drivers for the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Race at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca May 1-3, 2015. These drivers will pilot the two MINI's of the John Cooper Works team, beautifully prepared by LAP Motorsports LLC. You can join in on the fun at the MINI Cooper Corral which is located right in the center of everything on BBQ Island. Looks like a Canadian invasion to me smile emoticon

    Zack Meyer - Toronto, Ontario, Canada
    Remo Ruscitti - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
    Glenn Nixon -Mission, British Columbia, Canada
    Wei Lu - Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

    Help! I'm heartbroken! I waited too long to buy my car corral pass for Friday and now I am out of luck. Any chance anyone doesn't need their Friday pass? I'm a brand new MINI owner and I was so super excited to be a part of the group on Friday. Any ideas most welcome!!
