No not this one, but he will be taking photos ate the autocross school

At the track cross event a Summit Point the end of January, Roxy was doing her best impersonation of a snowmobile. There is some asphalt between the snow I promise. I was a fun day!!

I can be bribed to let you in early, lol.

Welcome the grey is a great color!! Look forward to seeing it on a run soon.

Hey all, Registration is off to a fast start with nearly half the spots already claimed. I will be pushing out an email with additional information on how to prepare and have the most fun the day of the event. If you have any question, please post them here as I am sure you are not the only one with that question.

One bit of info for the group, Passport whether Alexandria or MoCo (and many other dealers) buy their tires through Tirerack. It is a dealer account, but still they are sourcing through Tirerack. So when they quote you tire prices, look that tire up on Tirerack and if it is cheaper tell them you can order them yourself with free shipping for "THIS" price. 9 times out of 10 they will match the price on the website, because they are not paying that price with their dealer account.

We are currently finalizing the new agreement with Passport MINI of Alexandria and hope to be able to share with the club by the end of the month. I am pretty excited about what we have roughed out.

That is going to be a fun trip, As for the HSB. They are great first runs to lead, and I am happy to help you plan it. I will shoot you a private message to discuss further

Lorri, Brandy will due the Ice cream run in August (exact date to TBD), but will be the end of the month. I will look at my calendar and schedule a summer HSB also

The F chasis supports up to a 225 with no modifications, the GPs come with 225/35R18s. I currently run 225/40R18 on my wife's GP, because it is a much more common tire size and provides more option and more competitive pricing. 215 is also a good size, I would ignore the 205s due to less options resulting in higher pricing. I personal run Michelin Pilot Sport 4s All-seasons, as the dailies on all our MINIs, and have extreme summers that I use for track or the occasional spirited road driving. In my opinion they are a great balance of performance and have some life to them. They are go for all the conditions you will face around here. Hell, do the the extremely cold temps lately I ran the Pilot sports on track this weekend and was very happy with how they performed. I was definitely pushing them harder than any spirited driving you will do out on the road.

I echo Craig's previous comments. Another thing to consider with run flats is any side wall blow out still leaves you stranded. They are really only good for a in tread puncture. Also they are non patchable once you get to the shop, you are buying a new tire shops do not patch run flats. Adding a space saver spare in the back takes minimal space, and will get you off the road like a run flat would. As for jacks pick up a compact full scissor jack and you can slide it under the passenger seat from the rear. Make sure it is a full scissor, not the half scissor MINI used to include OEM (that think is asking for trouble) there are jacking points at all four corners they are blocks on all MINIs.

Awesome, We will have the DCMM banner on the front porch, everyone is always welcome to stop in

you can participate separately or as a couple. Brandy and I do not share so we will participating separately.
