Just wanted to share that my 2006 MINI Cooper S took 2nd in class for the 2010 Kitsap Kup season which ended last weekend. The season consisted of 1 event each month for the past 8 months. In the closely contested season I finished a close second to a well driven VW Golf. I took 1st at 3 events and the VW took 1st at 3 events. Anyway, wanted to share that our little cars can be quite competetive on the Auto-X course.  ------------- '15 F55 Cooper Volcanic Orange '80 Mini English White |

Way to go Martin. I bet that was a lot of fun too. And I do know that MINI's can be quite competitive. ------------- 5 race wins, 2 in the rain. 2nd in ICSCC G Production Championship 2005 and 2006. Now I'm just gonna drive the MINI. |

Good driving Martin . Next year turn the tables on him When Kitsap was talking about a NASCAR type of track I was praying that they would see the light and put in a road race track, ALA Nuremberg, Brands Hatch, Willow Springs, Laguna Seca. In doing that they would have many more days of usage out of the track, meaning more revenue and people would learn to turn both left AND right as well as go up and down. Way better racing, even bikes would benefit. Oh well, so much for logic... Stephen ------------- I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW. |

Stephen, there is actually a ownership group working to get a track approved in the Shelton area. They have met with the county and the zoning board several times as of late. Check it out here...

Martin: MC2 did not know about the Racinmason group so I passed the info on to them. I hope they research and do a promotional spot for that track effort. This side of the Sound could use a decent road course! Stephen ------------- I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW. |

Thanks for passing it on Stephen...would be great to add another track in the area. Especially since Bremerton Speedway may be gone before long. ------------- '15 F55 Cooper Volcanic Orange '80 Mini English White |

M: Kitsap County/Bainbridge has way to many people who seem to be diametrically opposed. They either want racing (usually the round tracks stuff) or want to see nothing but trees, to and including planting trees to block their neighbors views! Political insanity  .Possibly Mason County has a better grasp of reality. S. ------------- I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW. |
