As some of you may know, Dale and his lovely wife Regina met me and the team up at Road America in Elkhart Lake Wisconsin this past weekend to help put on the "test drive autocross" portion of MINI Takes The States 2008 (round 3.)

Without further ado, pics are here:

Good times!  They let me drive an '09 JCW on the big track as well as the autocross, and now I really want one! 023

Thanks!  The pics are small and lo-res for internet use; you should see the originals.  Maybe I should set up a few wallpapers? 003

And yes indeed, that's Popper and Blues Traveler!  They played just for a select few hundred MINI owners (and non-owner enthusiasts like myself of course.)  They sounded awesome.

Tomorrow I'm flying to LA to help with the fourth and final MTTS '08 event at Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena this weekend.  Can't wait to beat on more '09 JCW's!  045

Jon's right, we had a blast. He did the test drive portion in all 4 events. We were at Boston and Chicago (Sheboygan-Road America). I think Boston was prettier, but Chicago had an SCCA race and planes flying in for the Osh Kosh Fly-in. PLanes, Race Cars and MINI's! Tell me, what could be better? Driving up to and into Boston kinda sucked though.

Here's some pics I took, mostly seems like going to a from the event.
