Can-Am Mini Challenge - first confirmed entry list posted

Post by Flygirl »

Hello chaps,

We are pleased to announce there are 45 entries registered as of our first Early Bird date (May 1). The incentive for the early bird deadline is a custom jacket for each driver plus a chance to win back the entire entry fee - $575.00 USD value, thanks to a very generous sponsor!

Not a huge entry by UK standards, but for North America it is a bit epic :shock: Still 53 days to go, so we should easily achieve our goal of 55+ Minis taking the green flag on race day.

Visit the "Entry List" page for all the details: http://www.canamminichallenge.com/entry-list

To add to the epic goodies for competitors, a sponsor has come forward with this awesome tribute to 129 LNP, running the #52 as raced by the late Chuck Dietrich at the Nassau Speed Week in December of 1966. Huge thanks to Matt Schneider/Eight Ball Racing for these custom Mini models!
