OctoberFast with MINI of Peabody

Another October, another OctoberFast!

Thankfully the overnight rain stopped before the event, and everyone enjoyed dry, if cool, weather … much more enjoyable though was the auto-cross track which was popular all day long! When I wasn’t chatting with my MINI friends, or eating lunch, I was busy taking pictures of all the MINIs and Minis present - visit the Gallery to see all the pics, or just scroll down for some highlights :)

Everyone waited patiently for their turn on the auto-x:

This lady kept improving throughout the day, and enjoying it more and more as she did so:

Paul had great fun and good performance in his Mini:

Sheena kept smiling …

… and so did Audra:

Josh concentrates:

The youngest auto-x’er says “go faster, mom”!

This picture, of Brian driving Scrat, is the one I am most pleased with:

    Great shot, Ian! Thanks! Wow, I really need to get those center caps back in… Thanks for not catching me going the wrong way around the course or my first failed use of the e-brake and subsequent selection of reverse instead of first. *sheepish grin* :-D

    Hey Ian~
    I’m glad you could make it to the event yesterday. Great shots in the gallery. As always, thank you for your continued support of MINI of Peabody, and the whole MINI Community!
    Vin

    I’m amazed your drivers don’t require helmets while driving the track. Looks fun either way!

    It’s not a track, just a parking lot with cones. Max speed, 40mph.

    Another great event. Sorry I missed it.
