MININUTS Briefing

Nuts take podium at Autocross

June 18th, 2006

In spite of the no-show status of a certain White Nut who will remain nameless, MININuts and friends made a strong showing at the BMWCCA Autocross event held at Hollywood Park on June 18th. Rallied by the artist formerly known as DiD, about 17 MINIs showed up to compete and several more turned up as spectators to dominate the paddock full of BMW’s, Miata’s, Subies, and other nondescript vehicles.

While many MINIs were at the Autocross for the first time, each and every participant made an exceptional showing with our own CamelJinky placing second in class (quite a surprise given that troubles with the timing system rendered Matt’s best time unknown to him until the awards ceremony), and our jnkyJinky of all Jinkies placing second in class on his first time out at Autocross, giving in only to the smooth is quick skills of the artist now known as DAVE.

In typical MININuts style, prizes were awarded to fastest Cooper, Cooper S, best improved driver and drivers of special merit.

So congratulate your fellow Nuts (except Jerry as I think it’s already going to his head) and look for them at the next event, I think some cone addicts were born that day.
