So register and come on out to check out some awesome Mini Coopers and push one on an Autocross course, COMPLETELY FREE.

The only catch is that you have to be 21+ years of age to drive.
See you out there!

 

Hmm. I may be down to autox someone else's car.

 

I went to the one in so cal, and you had to wait a looong time to drive it just once. is it possible you guys can setup a couple courses instead of one?

 

I signed Bill and I up for Sunday morn.... I have never autocrossed figure I will give it try, especially since it is not my car...

 

Can we just bring our Z's and autocross them instead of a MINI that we probably have to wait in a huge line for... like someone else mentioned.

 

I go to 2 autoxs a month, including last Sunday and this Sunday. Let me know if you're interested in going.

 

Scott, forward me some info for future Auto-X. Cant make the one this Sunday but Im interested in going at least once this year.

Is helmet required for auto-X?

 

You could go as a guest with me on the 3rd Sunday of each month at my work autox. The schedule for the other one I go to is here: www.norcalufo.org. Loaner helmets are available at both of those venues, and they are required.

 

I'd be interested in this as well.

This Sunday, arrive at Marina Airport by 8am to guarantee yourself a spot to run. I'll be there.

 

do you guys setup an area for a skid pad to practice on?

 

Practice what on? Anyway, there is no practice area, just parking/prep/tech/line-up and the hot course itself.

 

link isnt working for me Scott, i'd be very interested in joining

 

Sorry, it's .org

 

my girlfriend wants to come for this...well actually i want her to come 'cos i think she's the "mini" type...does anyone know if these cars are auto or stick?

 

they're auto.. the only mini with a stick, only the pro drivers get to drive while you ride along. i don't think it matter though since you're pretty much stuck in one gear throughout the course.

 

ah gotchya, ty sir

 

Actually thats not true!!!! you can drive the stick ones, we use those in Redline Time Attack, there are 3 of them. BUTTTTT you have to sign up as a VIP at the event, theres a small charge but it comes with privileges and some Mini Cooper gear!

 

hey you guys have any thoughts/objections to my girlfriend having a bake sale at this event?

100% of the proceeds go to the leukemia and lymphoma society.

 

Did any of you guys make it out last Sunday? James (mcarther101) and I were there and saw a few other 350s and 370s, but we didn't tag up to chat with anyone else besides one guy who was in his black 350.

James and I had fun though! The next one is 3/14, but maybe see some of you guys this weekend at the Mini event. I haven't autox'd or tracked a mini in years. Pic of my old Mini at Thunderhill before I even had license plates for it! Also my Z32TT from the same day while playing with a lil' ole' Ferrari.
