I spoke to Phil Wicks on the phone two weeks ago. He stated that the Wednesday November 10th Laguna Seca fee is $16,500.00. The $350.00 they are asking for our participation is a drop in the bucket for the opportunity to gain knowledge from him and to drive that racetrack. The fees for a day-long event at Laguna Seca through Skip Barber can be at least tripple, or more, the fee Phil is seeking. Additionally, there is a huge chance that his event will not become a reality unless we as MINI owners step up and express the interest to go and participate. Wednesday is a tough day for most for sure. But as stated above, that's the least expensive part of the week. It is what was available for this event and Phil siezed the opportunity on our behalf.
Phil encourages everyone, even remotely thinking they will attend the event, to contact them via email at [email protected] and submit an entry form. Or, they may be reached by phone at 803-699-4691 or 314-330-6449. More info is available @ Mini Driving. No fees need to be paid yet, as it is still unclear if the event will come off. If it does, fees will be collected accordingly.
