Hey All,

Sounds like great fun, sign me up for 1 run and lunch for 2, we're coming from Dundee and we'll meet ya at Wegmans like last year, so we can be a part of the MINI parade thru the countryside.

Cheers smile

Well I hope everyone had a good time today. We ended up putting 20 cars out on the track, & were joined by 14 cars from the Carlisle PA Mini club that had to stay overnight to get their run in, because of fog closing the track yesterday.
I apologize to the single run people who wanted lunch.
Were you able to get lunch?
Because of the weather, we didn't get down to the restaurant till 2pm.
I should have just done 1 run, so that I could spend time you as well.
I will learn from this & plan better next year.

On the brighter side we all have a 'ticket to ride' again sometime this summer.

Had a great time Rob.  Definitely something I am happy I did.  Loved the ride down and on the way back I went along Keuka lake.  What a beautiful hilly trip that was as well.  Thanks for putting this together.  It was great meeting everyone!  Looking forward to our next trip.

WOW, what a great time at WGI. If they could have gotten us on and off a little quicker perhaps could have helped but, it was excellent! Thanks for all the efforts Rob, I appreciate all the work that you do.

Now, please try and use those Al-E-Opps coupons and Kevin can get a little business too.

Glad to see everyone had a great time. I saw you guys getting off the track for the last time, it looked like there were a TON of you!

Besides the wait in line, getting on the track was awesome. The group I was in was getting some SERIOUS speed on the straights and I didn't really need to slow down much for the turns. It was definitely a great experience!

On the 3rd run, I remember looking in my rear-view mirror and seeing a Limo getting onto the track and literally laughing to myself. Everyone else thought I was crazy but its true! http://www.tracktimephotos.com/largeView.php?imgName=2012/20120422_WGI_GR14_3144
