If you have no plans for today (or if you do, change them!), come join us for a pleasont afternoon in the country for some hoppin' bluegrass. Bring a blanket or your lawn chairs, weather looks great. We will meet at the Rutters near Boiling Springs at the intersection of Routes 74 and 174 for a beautiful half-hour drive to the Kings Gap Environmental Educational Center. The event is 2:00 to 6:00 and is free but they do "pass the hat". Food and drink is available, you can bring your own but alcohol is supposed to be prohibited but hasn't been enforced as long as you're not obvious, it is a family event.

If you can't make it to Rutters by 1:00, just meet us at Kings Gap.

For years a small (MINI) contingent of Carlisle MINI has motored to great racetracks on the east coast. We have been following the new generation of MINIs starting with the R53 that was campaigned by Randy Smalley's team RSR racing. Steve Dellinger traveled with this team for years serving as a crew member. Fast forward to the newer generation MINI and enter Luis Perocarpi and his LAP Motorsports Racing team. LAP will again be at VIR in mid-June - with two TC cars and one or more TCA cars. Join us as we celebrate the return of enthusiasts to some great racing venues.

Tickets are now available - including the Patriot Corral with the Operation Motorsports Crew. ticket info

We'll meet at the Sheetz on Rt 15 south of Gettysburg on Friday Morning, June 16th, and motor either to the track or to lodging in the South Boston, VA area - depending on how much of a "scenic" route we take.

Heading home Sunday after the 2nd Race (Steve) or Monday AM.

Southbound route TBD! More details to follow.

Race 1 is 11:15 AM on Saturday
Race 2 is 9:50 AM on Sunday

The Great Ice Cream Run 8 to MINI on the Mack

Please note: Bob with Carlisle MINI has an alternate feeder route to MINI on the Mack. This is posted as an alternate for anyone where the different dates / itinerary have an appeal.

By popular demand, Jak and Dusdee Yaemsiri, who have organized and led 7 prior ice cream runs to Bar Harbor and Mackinaw, have agree to co-ordinate Event # 8 this summer.

The ice cream run begins at Staunton VA on July 29th.
Group hotels have been reserved with overnight stops at Charleston WV, Cincinnati OH, Dearborn MI, South Haven MI and St Ignace MI.
In addition to 2-3 ice cream and donut stops daily, we will visit the US Air Force Museum Dayton OH and Henry Ford Museum.

After the end of our run, we will join up with MINI on the Mack on Aug 4-5. If you plan to participate please be sure to register @ MINI On The Mack as we will try again to break the world record of 1450 MINIs in a parade!

There are 20 hotel rooms reserved for each stop.
There are already 9 claimed by prior year participants.
