Gina, can you promise a quake-free MTTS in Pasadena? My car was doing the Chino HIlls hop yesterday. I thought maybe it was because you and the rest of the Mini folks hit the Southland.

Just tell them 20 in Canadian is equal to 21 US. ;-)

Haha!! That's a good one, I'll say it's because of the exchange rate ;)

Thanks for your help, Dick and Todd!

I am really trying to make it to MTTS Chicago. I have final exams the week after and I can't really afford the time off that weekend to do anything other than studying. BUT what I keep reminding myself is how much I regret not attending MTTS 2006. And how MINI United 2007 was one of the best experiences of my life.

Ok, so if there's no 21+ age limit then I'll most likely see you guys there... fingers crossed!! :)

how do you register for the JCW test drive at the MTTS chicago?

Register for the event and be at Road America from 3-5 PM on Saturday. Bring your driver's license and be over the age of 18. That's it.

[...] forget, if you have any questions about Chicago or LA, leave them here. We’ve talked Gina into answering all of your MTTS questions very [...]

What were in the goodie bags from the Miami and Chicago stops? Were they the same, or are they different at each location?

Just a suggestion . . . Why not a YouTube-type feed of MINI related videos using thumping music piped onto a big screen at the Rose Bowl?

No problem. I only hope other people don’t get confused as you did. It would be very helpful if MINIUSA listed the actual address on the MTTS blog!

UIC is one of Windy City Fieldhouse's partner locations. This entry at the CMMC web site has a PDF with a map.

You can plug the following address in: 800 W Maxwell St, Chicago, IL The entrance to the garage is one block east on Maxwell.

Now I'm getting confused. The MTTS2008 site says the Chicago kick-off party will be at: "The Windy City Fieldhouse, University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC), Chicago, IL"

When I look up The Windy City Fieldhouse, the address it gives me is: 2367 W. Logan Blvd. Chicago, IL 60647-2035, which from what I can tell is not near UIC.

Is there a different Windy City Fieldhouse that is closer to the UIC campus, or is there a branch of the UIC campus further north on the Kennedy Expy?

Is there an address for the first event on Friday night, so that I can plug it into my GPS. See everyone soon,

18 Years is the age to Drive the Auto X MINIs including the JCW from 3-5 PM. As for the parade lap, initially it looks like 18 is the min. required age at Road America. We will let you know if we hear otherwise but I think you'll be fine.

Christina - You could borrow my wife's TX id. You'll have to try and make yourself look a little older. LOL! Just kidding.

I will be making the drive from Toronto, Canada but am concerned since I heard that some events at MTTS Boston/Miami, such as the track drive, were for those aged 21+. I am just a few months shy of my 21st birthday but would be devastated to come all that way and be turned down:(. Can anyone confirm or deny the 21+ age limit for MTTS Chicago??

Doug,

It's all on the MINI Takes The States site.

Jim, At Boston, they were still manning the “swag bag stand” on Sunday.
