What we're about
Carlisle MINI Motoring Club was formed in Carlisle Pennsylvania by Santiago Gabela and his wife Lois in 2006. Their first attempt to set up the club and develop an active membership was a slow process. Over the years our little (MINI) club has grown. We now have more than 450 members. One imperative is a love of MINIs. What is a Carlisle MINI Motoring Club member? Whatever YOU want it to be! Our passion for our MINIs is the singular common ground that we all share, aside from that we are all individuals with many other varied interests. We are a loose knit bunch of MINIacs and that's the way we like it! Join us at one of our events...some large...some small, but all with a focus on MINIs and having fun. Now MOTOR ON!
Upcoming events (4+)
We will form up at the Turkey Hill at 209 W King St in Shippensburg at 8:45 with a 9:00 departure. The Turkey Hill is a couple of minutes away from The Wheelhouse Cafe if you'd like to join us for one of the best breakfasts around before we set out. I don't recommend eating anything too heavy since we will hit the first half of the Dramamine before heading to our first bridge (road surface pretty rough in sections and lots of road sand from Upper Strasburg to Fannetsburg). We will visit three bridges before a pit stop in Blain and then five more bridges before stopping at The Local Table in Loysville for a bite to eat. After lunch we will tour five more bridges before ending the day at Susquehanna Soft Serve in Liverpool. Most bridges we can drive right through, a couple we will have to turn around and drive back through, a couple we can only drive by, and one, Clay's Covered Bridge in Little Buffalo State Park will be a 500 ft stroll to see. That will also be our afternoon pit stop. Rain date April 15.

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 be at VIR in mid-Jun . Join us as we celebrate the return of enthusiasts to some great racing venues.
