MINI Takes the States Registration Now Open

Registered. What’s up with the Chicago event being held north of Milwaukee?

Anthony Apr 12th, 2008 Link

I think that it makes sense. Not a whole lot of places in Chicago to have this sort of event. (Also, it works well for me, since I live just outside of Milwaukee.) But it’s really misleading to say it’s a Chicago event–and people who may be staying in Chicago will be in for a bit of a drive to Road America. I guess I’ll wait ’til I see more details.

Yeah, but Road America is worth it….I live in Fon du Lac, so I might try and make this. Is the track going to be open for hot laps, or just touring?

Gabe Apr 12th, 2008 Link

It’s my understanding that for Road America they will offer owners a chance to do a few regulated touring laps. Not sure about Miami Homestead but I’m guessing it’ll be similar. And yes it is unfortunate that most of that weekend will take place 2.5hrs away from the Chicago area. It’s my understanding that the options they had for Chicago didn’t work out in terms of scheduling. However I’m sure the fine folks from Wisconson will be quite welcoming and it’ll be a great event nonetheless.

On a personal note its somewhat ironic that I won’t be able to make much (if any) of the Chicago event due to the combination of the location and my wife’s due date.

Hope that everybody gets a chance to hit one or more of these parties. Lets all take the chance to set back and enjoy whats makes the Mini brand special, its community of owners and enthusiast.

Sounds like this is going to be a excellent series of events and I am very glad that Whiteroof and Motoringfile will be covering these events for those of us that might not be able to make it to one or more.

Question….. If I purchase 2 tickets in my name to MTTS, can the second ticket be used by 2 different guests of my choosing?

Vanwall Apr 12th, 2008 Link

Regged. Looks like a full plate this year - AMVIV already, Mini Meet West in June, and MTTS to wrap summer. ;-)

P.S. Gabe - our best wishes will be there for you, the missus, & the small unit, so relax.

Gabe,

Have you heard whether there will be any limits placed on the number of registrations accepted at each location?

DeathCab4QT Apr 12th, 2008 Link

I know this is a little off subject but… I just heard about this MINI/Mini event in Holland this May from a fellow in England name Jax. It’s called the “International MINI Meet”? Have I missed this event somewhere here or on some other blog? Supposedly closed for registration as of 3/29.

DeathCab4QT Apr 12th, 2008 Link

VanWall no MITMs?

DeathCab4QT Apr 12th, 2008 Link

Logo wise I think it’s odd they only show the next gen MINI Grille.

Jimskater Apr 12th, 2008 Link

Registered!

I believe that International Mini Meet is an event that arose out of the classic Mini club scene, and has since expanded to include new MINIs. It’s hosted by a different Mini/MINI club each time, and is not a MINI corporate event like MINI United or MTTS.

Whoops! — Reg is for LA

Vanwall Apr 12th, 2008 Link

DeathCab4QT - Sorry, only have so much dough and so much time. Gotta stay west this year. Mebbe in the future. Have fun, Tho!

DeathCab4QT Apr 13th, 2008 Link

Well Vanwall I’ll see you at Mini Meet West look for my booth. I don’t see me doing MTTS, though it seems some of us SCMM folk are. RB

DeathCab4QT Apr 13th, 2008 Link

OOPS! Now I read it’s in my hometown Pasadena. So I signed up. I’m 10 minutes away. Jim, Vanwall need a place to stay? contact me. RB

I haven’t heard anything but I’m guessing the answer is no for general registration at this point.

alpinamike Apr 13th, 2008 Link

Baby or MTTS, thats a hard call, if you can’t go someone will represent from WRR:)

I will be nice to finally see everyone, it is a long drive from chicago to Road America, but with my top down and some warm summer air it can’t be that bad, atleast it brings back what MTTS 06 had, a true drive element to it.

So Todd/DB are doing the whole drive? Miami to boston to Mil-Chicago(thats the new term)to LA, thats a drive!

ho hum. . . . way to go MINI. . . pick 4 major markets that are saturated with MINI’s and leave the rest of the country out.

It is even worse than the first one that drove across the country on major interstates instead of small twisty country roads.

Excerpt from the Lennep, MT Gazette, Aug. 1 2010

17 Minis descend upon our City today for the fourth & final leg of MINI Takes the States…..

alpha-6 Apr 14th, 2008 Link

I’ll be there (+1)!!!!

BeagleMom Apr 17th, 2008 Link

We’re coming all the way from Atlanta and are registered! But what’s the deal? Is there an event Friday in Chicago, and then we motor Saturday morning all the way to the track? What’s the deal at the zoo? Very confusing.
