Event Title: EXTERNAL EVENT: NCC Autocross Event #5 (Final chance for the season Event Date: 10/02/2021 09:00 AM to 10/02/2021 04:00 PM Event Address: 201 Motorsports Park Cir, Summit Point, WV, 25446 NCC is hosting the fifth and FINAL autocross event of their 2021 season on October 2nd on the Washington Circuit at Summit Point Motorsports Park. Registration is open through September 30th. The cost is $35 for the morning or afternoon session and $55 for both. This year they are requiring all participants be members of the BMWCCA (NCC is the local chapter). In-car instruction is back, along with ride-alongs and loaner helmets. We've had a few MINIs out at each 2021 event, and it's a great way to meet other MINI drivers and test the limits of your MINI's handling. Let me know if you have any questions or if you'll be there!

You have the upgraded JCW suspension, those are really good springs, keeping your springs and replacing the stunts with koni yellows is a very cost effective and great handling solution. This does not let you adjust ride height it would be what you have now. This is the setup that Colin has run for years, if that helps rate the handling. If you want to adjust ride height then go with an adjustable coil over setup KW has a few variants depending on how much adjustability you want. Happy to talk more about it at the meeting.

I might have been to 1836 a time or two, Good spot definitely worth a stop!!!

Looks great Craig. Simple plug and play? Is the lower resistance causing and issues with "bulb out" lights?

We put in a reservation for 30. Brandy got us the members patio. So we should be good. The gumbo is awesome just to let everyone know

You mentioned you do not plan on putting a lot of mileage on the MINI. So would you really get that much service. Like you said you are paying for the last 4 years. If you are doing 10k a year that’s 4 oil changes ($100 ea), likely one brake job ($600ish), a few air/cabin filters($200). So let’s call it a $1000 in service. if it’s a manual and you are hard on the clutch and it is absolutely worth it. One clutch job pays for it. otherwise you have to be putting miles on it to see the value. just my two cents

I use this product from chemical guys and have been happy with it.

Does the pedal feel very stiff or and easy push? GTPeace is where I had mine replaced. Way better prices then dealer, while still getting MINI certified techs.

Thanks all, I am always happy to coordinate new opportunities for the club. That being said I put up the details on the "My Track Time" event that was mentioned yesterday. check it out under the event feeler section and let us know that you think.

Additional information for our day at the track. Arriving: 1) For those joining the run, I will coordinate everything at the gate just follow the MINI in front of you. 2) If you are arriving separately, tell the gate worker you are with the SCCA MINI Car Corral. a) Any issues, have them contact Bob Crawford (race chair), Chris Doherty, or Scott Merker. 3) You will be asked to sign the general waiver at the gate, and given a wrist band (don't lose it!) 4) The car corral will be located directly across from the main entrance to the track. There will be large banners and a popup setup denoting the area. (a) Chris will be wearing a BRIGHT GREEN polo shirt. He will be hard to miss. 5) Waivers - Chris will ensure everyone has signed the SCCA waiver in the morning, and we may provide an additional wrist band for the track touring laps. 6) I've attached a map of the track to indicate the main gate and the Car Corral location. During the event: 1. Spectating: You are free to visit any spectator areas or grandstands within the track confines. The outer parts of the track is a great place to watch the racing, and the Car Corral will be in a prime location. a. I strongly encourage everyone to bring folding chairs, umbrellas, etc. If bringing canopies, make sure you have a way to secure them down if it is windy. Use best judgement here. b. We are still confirming if the group will have Paddock access while racing is going on. This is TBD. 2. Technical: We've asked one of our racers (Scott Luttrell) to bring his STU race car MINI by the Corral during the day. Assuming it's running, he'll be stopping by! 3. A live audio broadcast from the announcing booth will be on FM 88.7 Lunch Track Touring laps: 1. Lunch laps: Lunch time laps are limited to 25 and first come first served. Chris will shuttle everyone to paddock and grid. 2. We expect this will happen between 11:45 and 12:30, depending on track cleanup and race group schedules. This could be earlier or later. 3. Lunch laps will follow the Track Tour rules here. Food & Snacks (COVID): 1. There will be coffee and doughnuts waiting when you arrive. 2. We will also be providing light individual portion snacks and coolers with chilled beverages. 3. Due to the continuing uncertainty of COVID and logistics, we won't be able to provide a grill for lunch: a. The 'Che Summit' concession stand will be open in the race paddock. Burgers/dogs/nachos, etc. will be available for purchase. b. Your participants can bring their own meals, grills, snacks, etc. There are no outside food restrictions at the track! c. Your participants can bring beer, wine, alcohol, etc. Just no intoxicated driving during lunch touring laps, which should be fairly obvious
