Another year, and thanks to the White Mountain BMWCCA Chapter, MINI owners get another fine and fun day of burning rubber in a safe way! Thanks also to Concord Motorsport and MINI of Peabody for their support …
Sadly the event was under-attended – but with only 13 MINIs, we all got more hands-on time than normal π
Since this was my 4th event (see 2004, 2005, and 2007), I did some time doing the braking and lane changing exercises, and some time photographing others – I also loaned out GPMINI to Jason and Brian, to get some great pictures of her going round the skid area (and in the afternoon I took her round, un-photographed!)
As always, this was a GREAT event and a must for anyone that wants to learn the behaviour of their MINI at the limits of braking and steering; it’s made even more fun with the many friends attending (Hi Jason, Brian, Sarah, Pete, David – and congrats on the new GP Peter!)
UPDATE:
Also see these “official” pictures of the White Mountain BMWCCA website
GP sure looks good in motion or standing still for that matter.
Official MINI count (including instructor cars) was 17. A good time nonetheless!
Ian, thanks for taking a few shots of me in 0691. (I should’ve loaned out my camera too!)
Attending this event was a great opportunity for me to get to know the GP. I’m truly enjoying the agility of the GP and look forward to bringing it to other such events.
… I also enjoyed experiencing GBMINI#4’s super sound system. I’m gathering ideas. π
