    Fun first event @ MITM

    I had a blast in Scooter, I did not run the afternoon timed runs, my last practice session was a 34.3 I think.

    I was having stripes put on two MINIs in the afternoon, that is another story, one got done. :arf: :confused5:

    This was a well designed and run event, thanks to MINI of Loveland, Kris, Gilbert and Loyd for a great event.

    Here is a little picture or two.

    I entered in the novice class, since the last one I ran was in the 60's (!) but they had me in the CS class anyway. Wouldn't have mattered tho, my 33.9 was only good for about 7th place!

    It was a super fun day tho!

    I think with a little more experience and time to play with the settings on the car I could have been more competetive, but it was my son's car and I'd never even driven it before......

    Participation now stands at 12 MINIs - you guys are going to love this course!

    Don't be afraid if you have never done an AutoX or if you are a novice - the AutoX Committee has set aside the morning to cover the basics and to walk the course. If you're an experienced AutoX'er you will find this is one of the better layouts and sizes you've driven.

    Don't forget that if you decide you want to add something you can always go back to the registration page at www.MINIsInTheMountains.com to do so.

    This is the lot for the AUTOX

    PSIA.

    Register, drive the AutoX, this is only a portion of the lot, I understand the course will be fun and challenging. :wink:

    I am not the designer, I have not seen the setup, I will be running my 07 on street tires. :donut1:


    My 07 MCSa is on the left, the small MINI in the picture, this was taken with a E-PL2 and the 17mm lens.

    ...as compared to the large MINI somewhere in the shot? :lol:
    I'm guessing you can't quite see 1/4 of the entire lot in this photo. It's huge at 565 ft x 488 ft (6 acres).

    And its not exactly flat it has ups and downs which will add to the challenge in turns straights ect. And best of all they will be pressure washing it clean I understand before the event to make it free of any rocks ect.
