I would like to alert any classic Mini owners visiting this site, who we may not already have in our club database, about the following upocoming classic Mini events:January 30 - Dyno Day at Abacus Racing, Virginia Beach (This date is still tentative as of this writing, but I am hoping it gets confirmed this coming week. If not, a back-up date would be sometime in early February)
During this Saturday event we will be afforded the opportunity to place our Minis on the rolling road chassis dyno and come away with a printed readout of torque, BHP and air to fuel ratios. Each session "on the rollers" would consist of two dyno pulls. Depending on the number of participants, minor tuning adjustments can be made while the car is on the rollers. If we have a healthy turnout of cars however, those tuning adjustments will need to be made off the rollers, and then the car brought back on for another session at an additional cost. The cost of this event will be negotiated depending on how many the cars we get to participate. The more cars participating, the lower the cost per car.

Participation in MAM events is limited to classic Mini's only. If you are Bi-Minual like I am, please do as I do and leave your new MINI at home during our
MAM events. For anyone who does not own a classic Mini, but would like to experience one, you are invited to join us by riding shotgun in someone elses Mini for the day during any of our events.
