We NEED some coverage on the TV ... Anyone have any media connections?

"Leak" the story to them

 

Here is a pic from Putnam Park, Indiana, June 2005

 

Good picture. Looks like about 20 MINIs. With a bit of encouragement I think there could easily be 100 MINIs and Minis at Laguna Seca. That will make for a great grid picture don't you think.

 

Oh yes !!! It will be COOL

Check out some NASA racing at Laguna Seca: 17 minutes long, M3, but worth it !!!
