Well, that escalated quickly, if you don't like the CMU events for whatever reason, go ahead and put together your own event, no one is forcing attendance at this event.  I still think he needs to purchase an event t-shirt.  Whether he goes or not.

Please can it. I like both you guys.

I am will be attending Mini 59 with Hugh Cannon as my side kick. I know you do NOT have to balls to BAN me.. from anything. Mr STUPIC Clown..... and dido what Dr Mini/ Hugh said..  is this the clown travel fund for the other half..?? remember when the funds went missing at Spring Thing.  Hugh delivers minis for me EVERY month and sure is NOT homeless... and  does NOT live in his truck...  I  have been homeless. and sure it NOT fun sleeping rough.  and my guess  the clown also supports Donnie Dump.. ??   happy new year..

Maybe in the best interests of everyone to cancel this thread and start a new one on just Mini related topics

Let’s make 2018 a great mini year for all of us

Big AL

I agree this is not the place for this. Unfortunately some people have no class to stay out of things that have nothing to do with them, just trouble makers. This thread was started to inform CMU members or those that want to join in, about an event and a fun race... period.

Mike and Hugh:
Having never met either of you, nor been to any of the mentioned meets, your ranting/banter about each other, verging on defamation on both sides, reads as two chums ragging on each other, becoming less believable on both sides.

Having been around this forum for quite some time, I know you each have a reputation of providing service and support in your own ways to the Mini community.

If this really is a fight, it doesn't really belong here.

Thanks for your last post as the phone calls I have received are hilarious and sad at the same time! So you also walk out of restaurants without paying, yes many witnesses like the IMM theft. After reading your last post I see I need to add that you're an excellent con and liar. As we are renting the Mini 59 space on private property, if you show up you will be removed. But I will tell our members (DRIVERS MEETING) to be on the lookout (not hard to spot) and to hide their food and money. So instead of being the sad person constantly trying to end the by far biggest club in North America with GREAT events, and coming to be shamed in front of people that don't want to see you, feel free to pretend to have some class and leave anything CMU related alone.

Sorry, but I haven't been convicted of murder, don't live in a truck, didn't make a penny off the Mini Meet, did not sneak into the IMM50, and worked regularly until I got married and my wife's health required me being home more than me working. So, you should get your story straight. Glad you enjoyed the sandwich at the Mini Meet in Chattanooga! See you in Kingsport clowny!

Just because you are broke, have a murder record, and snuck into IMM 50 while stealing a handful of food passes (yes you bragged about it to many), doesn't mean others are like you. Hey, where are the dash plaques from the MME that you promised. I believe we spent about $140 in registration and got nothing more than a baloney sandwich in a 50 cent imprinted bag and a lousy "banquet" in a storage facility, and the promise of the dash plaques that would be mailed to us (still waiting years later). You made a killing $$$ on that "event" and didn't deliver on your promise, oh crap, did I say killing.... The CMU books are open to any good standing member that wants to stop by. CMU is unlike most clubs, no infighting and puts on the best Mini driving events in the US at 1/3 the cost of other 3 day Mini events. So, please crawl back into the crater you somehow climbed out of. I don't follow/respond on your posts, stay away from ours....

You do the math on this one... I work for a UK company, the wife has a great job, no kids, no mortgage for many years, no bills... It's easy to go every year to the UK/Europe and go to every IMM. Duh! Yes, if I lived in my truck and didn't have a job because I owe settlement money, then yes it would be hard to go to a IMM.

Why would I want to purchase anything from CMU and put more money into the "Guido international travel fund"? That's where the other half of the race purse goes. Register for a CMU event, buy a shirt, race a HW car, and send a clown to the next IMM. CMU is not a club, it's a business. Clubs have elections and the members see how and where the money goes. You do the math on this one...

61.5 grams = 2.169349 ounces

Make sure you purchase an event t-shirt too!  Then you can prove you really were there.

That explains a lot, send him an event t-shirt!

"Banned for life"...with that thought (since it's in my backyard) perhaps I will attend...

Maybe it's used to pay off the track and all the Hot Wheels that someone upfronted the money for?  Maybe it's used to get new cars for the next event?  Maybe it's used to pay for food and drinks (soft) at CMU events throughout the year?  Maybe it gets donated?  Are you attending?  I can see if you are attending that this may be an issue for you and you have a right to ask, which you can do privately instead of trying to create a "scoop"?  Damm!!  did I just describe a cnn snowflake strategy??

Elpez, He has a lifetime ban from CMU, so no, you won't see him at a CMU event.....

You could pick up the phone, call and ask, if you were really interested.  Seems to me you are trying to make a big deal out of this,  Maybe the money gets used to pay for the track, or to purchase all the minis, which were paid up front by someone. Do you go to these events or just ask questions?

Charitable donation somewhere I'd assume Hugh.

I was wondering what 61.5 grams was in 'Merican - the ride height is in inches after all

So, you pay $5 and the winner gets half of the money...what happens to the other half?

from above:

There are two classes 1. Run what we brung - $5.00 entry fee.  2. Pro Series - must be any mini variant Hot Wheels with rules as written above entry fee and payout the same as class 1.
