MINIpalooza in the Mountains 2014

MINIPalooza

About this event

Hello MINIpalooza Fans!

This year's event will be held in and around the beautiful mountain city of Asheville, NC. MINIpalooza 2014 will be a 3-day event from September 5th to the 7th. Being in the mountains this year means we have lots of twisty roads to tackle. Runs are being setup for Friday, Saturday and even Sunday morning so you can get your motoring fix! Runs will be available for a variety of driving styles and interests.

For those arriving Thursday evening or early Friday our first run will begin at 8:00 am on Friday. More runs will be available in the afternoon. The afternoon runs will end at the Oskar Blues Brewery where tours will be provided and food trucks will be on site so folks can get some chow in their bellies. If you don't make any of the runs, you can still drive down and meet everyone at Oskar Blues (tours start at 7:00 pm) or you can check out Asheville on your own. 
 
On Saturday we are scheduling runs for both Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon. Most of the runs will start and stop at the host hotel with a break in between so participants can grab some lunch. Several different types of runs are being planned, from visits to local sites/attractions to some runs that will let you take in the beautiful scenery to some pavement shredding twisty blasting runs. Saturday evening we will have a group dinner event followed by a question/answer session with MINI certified technicians. The Saturday evening activities are being sponsored by Flow MINI of Winston-Salem!!! 
 
On Sunday morning we will have a group photo opportunity with the Blue Ridge Mountains as a backdrop and then one final run for anyone who has the time and wants to get in a few final twisties.
