About this event
Welcome to MINI Thunder VII presented by Niello MINI of Sacramento
Join us for this all day track event of HPDI (High Performance Driving Instruction) at the SCCA track at Willows California.
This track was designed and built by the members of the San Francisco SCCA. It's a wonderful track with great facilities.
Due to popular demand and an expected large turnout we have chosen to run the newly modified 5 mile circuit. This will allow us to run larger groups without traffic issues.
We will be running beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Race Prep/Coaches. Coaches MUST sign up as coaches and be approved by Eric Diamond or Norman Nelson.
The cost is $275 per single driver/single Mini entrant.
For Shared Entries: If you are registering as primary driver with a co-driver, the 1st driver must register using the Shared Mini option and pay the total amount of $400.00, the 2nd or co-driver must also register using the Co-Driver option as a Co-driver at zero cost.. Price includes loads of track time, turn workers, tow-trucks, flaggers, instructors, lunch.
T-Shirts are now available in limited sizes and subject to stock. We have extended registration to Feb 10, 2016. We had to order event shirts in time to have them ready. Any entries on or after may not include an event shirt.
This event is for MINI/Mini Coopers only, any model, year, or variation. You will see other makes and models entered. These cars are coaches and will be running in the coaches/race-prep group, NOT with Beg, Int., or Adv.
Spectators are welcome to come out free of charge and see what it is all about.
