On one of the dealer threads some discussion has been ongoing about people heading to the US Vintage Gran Prix up at Watkins Glen this year. The featured marque is Mini.

From The Glen's web site:
Zippo U.S. Vintage Grand Prix
The Zippo U.S. Vintage Grand Prix roars back to life on its traditional September weekend with two spectacular features - the IMSA GTP and Mini Cooper. Watch as the original IMSA GTP cars, including the famous Nissans, Toyotas, Jaguars, and Porsches, gather at The Glen to defend their title as the fastest cars to ever race on the 3.4-mile road course. Then join the celebration as The Glen welcomes a reunion of the legendary Mini Cooper, Britain's favorite fun car.

General admission for the weekend is a bargain at $35. That gives you paddock and garage access. Some people camp at the track and some people stay in hotels locally.

The featured marque usually takes a parade lap and I'm wondering if a parade lap with or including the new MINI can't be arranged.

It seems that at least several people from Pennsylvania are planning to make the trek up the The Glen. Thought this would be a great central place to discuss this...

Thoughts, interest, etc.?
