Yes, I too am scratching my head at this...

Yes, it does. But I don't want to be responsible for it. If only there were some MINI of Peabody employees who posted on mini2. And Ian doesn't count.

Just got an e-mail from Paul Taylor. "Since the BMW CCA is handling that portion of the event you would have to ask them. " And the Boston Chapter website says: "VEHICLE TECH INSPECTION: It is strongly recommended that all vehicles be safety inspected by a qualified individual/mechanic prior to the event. This inspection should occur within three weeks prior to the event. Each entrant/driver is solely responsible for insuring that his/her vehicle is safe prior to arriving at the event. Failure of any vehicle to passan on-site safety check will disqualify its driver(s) from participation in the event and your entry fee will be forfeited."

TO ALL: Please post all information/comments regarding the MoP event in September in THIS topic....NOT HERE!

Paul Taylor has created THIS topic to discuss the MoP Driving Event on September 21st at NHIS.

Thanks,

Theo

Does anyone else from the MINI's only class on 7-15 recall someone saying 100 dollars would be taken off the reg fee for your first High Performance Driving Class? I'm trying to register and I don't see anything about this

There should be a $100 off option for your first HPDE event. Unfortnuately, once you register you cannot see the registration form again, so I cannot tell you if it really isn't there or if you just missed it. Contact the event registrar if all else fails.

Who's got a room to share for the night before? I haven't reserved a room myself yet at the Red Roof Inn... does anyone have a room they want to split? Or should I get my own.

[scho06]

I didn't complete the registration, I got to the point where it was asking for payment and I canceled. I did conctact the rigestrar and haven't heard back yet.

thanx

Just went through the registration again, only had three options to choose:

Driver Registration $190.00
Driver Registration - No prior on track exp. $90.00
Instructor Registration
Lunch included. $0.00

Hopefully I hear back from the registrar soon, closes on Monday.

OK, so I've had my blond moment for the week.......thought 2nd option was an additional 90 for not taking the safety course

That would be what you want right there.

[scho06]

All registered and I've got an appointment tommorrow for inspection and a brake fluid flush. See ya'll Thursday

[LePew]

Looking forward to seeing another MINI there!

Soon we will have the E30's, if not the E36's, outnumbered

Cool! Just be aware the having completed the registration form doesn't necessarily mean there's still room left for you. You might get bounced out. You'd think by now I'd know about how many people fill up an event. It's at 83 people right now including two marked "new".

Beacuse of the overwhelming response to my "who's got a room?", I went ahead and reserved a room at the Red Roof Inn down the road from the track. It's got 2 beds, so if anyone wants to split it, let me know. Or if anyone does have extra space I can cancel my reservation.

NOAA forecasts indicate Thursday to be partly cloudy, temps in the low 80's and a bit sticky, and no rain.
