I notice lots of "runs" going on - which is great and all - but do any Mini clubs up here in NorCal AutoX or track their cars as a club?

I come from the BMW club mentality where there were more total AutoX'es and track days organized than driving country roads as a group. Just wondering if I'll have to stick to BMW clubs for that type of activity!

There have been some track days organized.

That wasn't incredibly helpful... ;)

By whom? When?

Sorry, I don't really recall. They're not that common. I'm fairly sure NorCal MINI has done one or two. Try checking out these sites for some of the local groups.

ESCA - Empire Sports Car Association - Autocross Events for Santa Rosa, Northern California (http://www.empiresportscar.org/index.php) They do autocross but aren't a MINI club.

Then get some Mini Club members to form a team and hit the course.
