MINICup3: The Run to the Dragon

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once in a generation there occurs an event so epic, that it changes the course of humanity. Its impact is so profound it reverberates around the globe. On Thursday May 3rd , 2007, such an event shall take place...




Introducing MINICup3



The wide-open road will be the canvas for the 2007 MINICup3. This year's event will be held in conjunction with MINIs on the Dragon 2007. You will match your wits against all comers in a no-holes-barred rally from One Helix Plaza in beautiful north Philadelphia, to a secret checkpoint near the Tail of the Dragon in the beautiful Smokey Mountains. This one-day, six hundred mile rally will be a contest of driving skill and stamina. It will test the participant's ability to efficiently road trip from point to point, collecting precious goods and information, without breaking the rules of the road. Points will be awarded for successful route navigation, efficiency of time, data/goods collection and, of course, style. Points will be deducted for missed checkpoints and traffic violations. He or she who collects the most points and checks in at the destination will be awarded the coveted MINICup3, as well as bragging rights as the greatest road-tripper ever.

The rally begins at 8:00 AM on Thursday, May 3rd, where participants' cars will be lined up Le Mans style. All drivers (and hopefully teammate-navigators) will receive a sealed envelope with a triptych. At the sound of the starting bell, the envelopes will be un-sealed revealing the route and challenges for the MINICup3. The final check-in location will be revealed in the Triptych, where drivers will be checked in as they arrive. Then, on Thursday night, there will be an awards party and ceremony at Fontana Villiage for all of the participants, crowning the new MINICup3 Champion. All participants will receive a gift packet, as well as rally insignia for their MINIs. The cost to participate is $25 per car early registration until Monday, April 2nd, or $40 up to and at the event.

Hey Hey Hey! Long time no post!

I have made some T-shirts & stuff that reflect MINI sentiments.  Some are for the event & some are just plain MINI slogans.  Check out my site:

http://www.Mini2Mini.spreadshirt.com

Holla back if anyone is really going down.  Buy a shirt and show you care what you drive.  All proceeds to benefit a local charity.

When you get to the shirt , click FRONT & scroll down to see the text.
