  New MINI Spec Classes

BMW Car Club of America Club Racing Announces New MINI Spec Classes and Exclusive Series Suppliers - The Tire Rack and Mini Mania.

The exciting news on the sponsorship/marketing front is the expansion of The Tire Rack sponsorship in conjunction with Mini Mania as exclusive suppliers for the new Spec MINI program!

The MINI spec classes were formed to welcome this exciting new car into our program and to provide a racing platform based on the concept of a limited number of specified performance enhancements, focusing on managing costs to achieve close competition within this group and maximizing the focus on driver performance.

Check out the Mini Mania website for more information. For full details see the press press release later in this issue.

BMW CCA CLUB RACING PARTICIPATES IN 2003 TECH FEST WEST.

Long a supporter and participant in the Annual Gateway Tech, BMW CCA Club Racing Chairman Steve Olsen represented us at the 1st Tech Fest West hosted by Los Angeles Chapter in March. Tech Fest West is a great forum to show off Club Racing, meet new friends, exhibit examples of participant's race cars and promote BMW CCA Club Racing sponsors.
