Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

Those are fun, I like the view from the back seat............

The quality seems better too.

Good question........I own 2 of the 6 makes represented and I never heard about it either till yesterday, from my BIL.

It was fairly evenly divided, with a few extras in the novice class........I think we had 4 MINI's go to intermediate this time. The only problem was that our classmates included a full race Viper GTS, several Vettes, a couple of Subaru STI's and so on. We gridded up with them in the front so we wou...

Great pics, guys!

Great colors in yours Laurie, what kind of camera is that? I'm looking for a small digital to travel with...........

No reason why you can't, there was a Chevy Aveo 4 dr there last time, I'll bet your Mini could keep up with that!

The next event will probably be next April, you should have her sorted out and ready to go by then...........

Laurie I'm glad you found it interesting, and I hope you'll give it another go in the future - with the right instructor! It can be a bit intimidating the first time, with all the info coming at you so fast and so much to learn. But the next time will be better, and each time after that you'll have ...

You bringing the GP again?

See you there! And yes, everyone needs a break now and again........

Got my rear brake pads installed, if anyone else needs to change theirs, you're welcome to borrow my kit..........

See you all tomorrow!

I'll have a pressure gauge with me at the track, you should check it there as the pressure will have changed after the drive on the highway. They also have an air hose there to change it if needed. See you tomorrow at Ted's! Edit: Found out you need this handy/dandy tool to compress the rear piston,...

I made a reservation at Ted's for 8 at 1 pm.

Did y'all know that the Ted in Ted's Montana Grill is Ted Turner? I didn't!

Last night on the way home from work I started hearing this horrible grinding noise from the rear brakes. When I got home I found the inside pads on the rear completely gone. I picked up some pads from Baron this AM and I'll put them in tonight, talk about last minute repairs! Seems odd to me that o...

Great news!

Be sure to get there in time to get thru tech. You gonna run in the intermediate or advanced class?

Lil Red, I called Ed Osment at the track and he said it should say Snell 2005 (different than the website) but that he would allow that helmet for this run, so you're good to go!

Weather for Wednesday right now looks like partly cloudy skies, 10% chance of rain and 60* - almost perfect!

They have a full menu of all sorts of food, regular and not-so-regular like Buffalo. Oh, and they have bathrooms at the track too....... Alex wanted to go there last time because of the lemonaide - which most people thought was perfect while I had to add 3 packages of Splenda to keep from sucking my...

My BIL might becoming up to watch, it would be fun to be able to get him out on the track in one of the Corvettes or Vipers, or even one of the Elises............

Glad you're gonna make it Corey!

The HPT Web site says "Driver must have current state-issued license, current registration of vehicle with proof of insurance, Snell SA or M90- rated helmet, long pants, and all lights functioning properly" I'd call them on Monday and ask, call 800-437-2237 and ask for Ed Osment. If he doe...

Montana's it is then..........1 pm. If it's that cool they may enforce the long sleeve shirt rule, be prepared. FYI for our new participants, long pants, long sleeves (they let us wear short sleeves when it was 90* + ), closed shoes (preferably leather but tennies are OK) with cotton socks are the r...

April the first one, soon's they have the dates listed I'll start planing my days off..........

We'll miss you Pete..

I don't know that they'll cancel it just for rain, considering we're driving street cars on street tires and we're just "Touring" around the track as the name implies............I'll check further with them on Monday, we should have a more accurate picture of the weather by then too. ........

Great Pete, do you drive to the track or tow that bad boy up? We'll be looking for you............ Where shall we meet? Montana's again in the Legends? 1 pm again? Alex, did you get your mount made? Need any help with it? The weather promises to be almost perfect, cool but a chance of showers. Shoul...
