Hello everybody! Today I mentioned All MINI Track Day to a young lady after I handed her keys to her new MINI. She chuckled and asked me….why in the world would I want to do such a thing. I will be the first to admit that this is not for everybody, as with a MINI Cooper itself. This really got me to thinking and perhaps I have not really explained what this event is all about that great. So I will explain here, Texas World Speedway has had more then a few Legendary Racers run on it. People like A.J. Foyt, Peter Reveson, Richard Petty, Jack Brabham, Mario Andretti, and Mark Donahue just to name a few. All this on a 2.9 Road Course, with on and off Camber Turns, elevation changes, and a half mile straightaway. This is the longest, fastest road course in TEXAS!
www.promini.com Will have 2 project MINI’s, and $600.oo worth of give away items. (list to come later!). Not to mention you could win a ride in Blue Thunder a 243hp MINI, or Silver Sonic a 287hp MINI. Both PROMINI Project MINI’s.. If you win a ride in either you had better hang on because you will be sitting just to the right of a SCCA licensed Race Car Driver. Tire Rack has sent me 2 duffle bags, a wind breaker, and a few hats, to give away as well.
