BMW is playing on the Mini's history by using Phil Wix (who used to be a factory driver for Mini back in the 1960's and was even the stunt driver in the red Mini in the original The Italian Job) to put on driver's ed events at tracks around the country. He recently moved to Nashville and put on his first school at the Nashville Superspeedway’s combination oval and road course. In addition to several Minis in attendance, the school also had the local Corvette club and the Nashville PCA bring their cars to the track as well. I will try to attach some pictures of my 914 in action over the weekend.
First picture is of the parade laps where students play “follow the leader” to learn the correct line through the corners and guidelines for braking markers. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Thanks for the post and the pics. I looks like you had a great weekend. Your car looks super. It is very cool that your parents stopped by to watch. How much did your times improve?
QUOTE I had so much fun I am considering the purchase of a dedicated track car. Have I got a deal for you. Contact me if you are serious. |
