Day 2: Show and Shine

Located at the Santa Barbara County Fairgrounds, the Fairplex in Santa Maria is only a few blocks from our host hotel. We will all drive a few minutes to the grassy field to arrange our cars and have a day showing them off to the world. Show and Shine Classes will be posted in the event program
Day 3: Autocross and Funkhana
Wednesday, June 28, 2023
We will meet again at the Santa Maria Fairplex. This time we will be in the main parking area for our Autocross and Funkhana events. The Autocross course will challenge all drivers, novice to experienced, to drive and post their best times. With any luck none of us will get lost amongst the cones! Bragging rights will be convened upon those who excel. If driving madly through cones is not your cup of tea, the Funkhana will supply a somewhat more fun competition. That is, if you can stop laughing due to all the fun you’ll be having while completing silly tasks with your Mini and passenger(s). The Funkhana tests the drivers in their abilities to back up, turn, and maneuver safely with twists, turns and things to do.
Day 4: Rally
Thursday, June 29, 2023
The Rally invites everyone to see the sights of Santa Maria Valley and nearby areas. This event is currently in the planning stage and more information will be included as it becomes available.

Thursday night, Mini Meet West 2023 will conclude with a banquet at the Santa Maria Inn, where we relive highlights of the event with photos and fish stories. The winners of the Car Show, Autocross, Rally will be announced and awarded. As this year’s installment of Mini Meet West concludes, it is sure to be with glasses raised high in a toast to camaraderie and appreciation for all that we have shared. And as we drive home reflecting on all the good times, they will become inspiration for next year’s event, Mini Meet East Meets West!
