Weather and roads are clearing. Looks like no rain for Sunday. Cool temps (53F). Should be a good track day. We have over 90 entries and many Mini spectators coming.
Have a great day! Everyone at MotorWerks Magazine hopes everyone has a fun and safe day. Looking forward to the photos and report I am getting from Norman. It should be just in time for the March issue!
Just got back home and will be unpacking and finding my laptop and gathering photos. We had a great turnout with 100 Mini entries, plus guest and vendors. We have 107 for dinner & casino night on Saturday then had 145 served for lunch, plus clear blue skies, sunny and almost 60F for track day. Thanks to all that came out I hope you enjoyed it. Now its back to the planning board for MINI Thunder III

Does anyone know the young man and his father with the red R56 that was paddocked at the north end close to grid? We borrowed his Brake bleeder kit and when I went to return it he had left already.
I have it, so please let me know and I will fedex it back to you! thanks again for whoever let us borrow it! Lord knows we needed it, Mr. Sideways should be: "Mr. I catch your brakes on fire"............:devil:
I wanna know how the previous weekend you spent a day at the track and didn't melt the paint off the calipers?
