We will be heading south to visit friends, attend MMW and camp on the homeward trip, maybe in the Sierras and Rockies, maybe on the Pacific Coast too. In 2002, a group of us convoyed from Sacramento and got to the meet hotel on McCarthur Blvd. after midnight. I'm bringing a whip south so we get the convoy in before dark in 2008! Look forward to seeing everyone there....

Tori, You are correct... The registration cost is $125. This is the amount needed to cover all the expenses that we are incuring putting on the event. Even if the event is a complete sell out we will still need a substantial amount of funds from sponsors and vendors to cover all the expenses.  lease keep in mind that this event is being held in one of the most expensive areas in the country (Southern California, Orange County). The hotel is a top notch hotel! The parking is included (normally a $7-10/night charge at this venue). The registration cost includes a banquet at a stand alone venue (that is an entire dedicated building on the property) that will be reserved for our group and no one else! Autocross will be held in a large, secure area with plenty of space for everyone We have a large space for a car show that is dedicated for our group only! We are providing a T-Shirt for those that preregister Dedicated area for the kids along with a Pizza Party There are a number of other events planned and all of this takes lots of time and most importantly money! I recall paying around $100 the last time I went to MMW and I thought it was a bargain for what I got. Asking folks to pay $125 to help cover out costs is not out of line. The normal charge for the banquet at the venue we are in is $65-75/per person, add the expense of renting a huge area for the autocross in the heart of Orange County, equipment, insurance, Lunch, space for car show, trophies, etc and etc and you will see that this is also a bargain! While I understand your concern on the increase in the cost of registration, I hope that you find a way to save up the extra funds and come out and join us for a great time! I really think it will be time and money well spent!

69Mini - The Fair grounds is unavailable to us because of construction and because they are beginning the fair earlier this year. We have listed a few RV Camp sites on the Extended Stay page on the website. We will be adding more options as we find good locations and facilities.

We are working on getting local media coverage for some of the activities. The place for our show and shine is great! A huge, well designed, dedicated parking lot at the host hotel. We have also made arrangements with the hotel to have an outside bar at the show and shine and some music! The C&C is an additional event which will also be a great time for all attending!

Update!
As most of you already know Mini Meet West, the Annual Classic and new MINI meet, is going to be hosted my MOALA this year. We are in the final stages of planning what promises to be one of the best, if not the best Mini Meet in a long time! The event hotel will be the Irvine Marriott Hotel. It is a fantastic venue that is going well out of its way to host this event. Most of the events will take place very close to the hotel in and around the Irvine area (Orange County). This years event will include a Poker Rally, an Autocross, a Gymkhana, a Car show, as well as a Dinner banquet with a bunch of raffle prizes! In addition the hotel is minutes away from the majority of the So Cal attractions!
More info can be found at http://www.minimeetwest2008.com/. In another few days, we'll start the registration process on the site. We have arranged VIP Parking for MMW participants at the hotel and a special rate. Please contact the hotel directly to reserve you room ASAP (contact info on www.minimeetwest2008.com) and mention you are coming out for MMW. We have arranged a special room rate for all participants. We look forward to seeing you guys all there! Boris
