Location: PO Box 750 Shasta, CA 96087		The plan is to be there by 1PM for the car show. I'll double check to see when we can check in and post that.

On the subject of attire...we are planning to have a "Boot & Bonnet" Show, not for the Minis, but for the owners. Men & Women!

So plan to wear some Kool Boots and a funky hat

Location: PO Box 750 Shasta, CA 96087		For those joining us for the Valentines Day dinner at the Casino you will need to make a reservation for the time. Some of us are dining at 7:30PM which will give us a litle time to relax after the carshow, perhaps take in a sauna or hot tub, a few rolls of the dice before dinner. Please tell them that you are with MINI Thunder, It is open dining so you are free to dine at any time.

On another note, in-car cameras are OK as long as they are properly mounted. That measn fix mounting to head rest or suction cup like GoPro cameras. No bailing wirem, chewing gum, or duct tape mounting.

Dave Mani will be at the track and will equip your Mini with an in car camera and take track video from your car, edit the film, add your name and some kool music and provide you with a DVD copy for $60.00, He takes cash or check only and you need to pre-reserve this be emailing Eric Diamond at Thunderhill:diamond@thunderhill.com

Location: PO Box 750 Shasta, CA 96087		Couple more updates:

Colusa Casino is providing prizes for the 5 car show catagorey winners. We will have 5 catagories. Each winner will get one free future nights stay at the casino resort hotel. That's a total of 5
As mentioned above the casino will be furnishing the car show contestants complimentary sodas and water during the show. I believe that casino patrons will be asked to fill out ballots to elect the winners. I understand the ballots will be given out to patrons & they will get free gaming chips when they turn them in.

In addition we will be having a "Boot & Bonnet" show, not for the Minis but for the owners. To qualify you must be wearing boots and a hat of somekind for the car show. This is open to both men & women. Pictures will be taken and a vote will be taken during lunch @ Thunderhill on Monday. The winner will be determined by the loudest applause. So wear your boots and a "funky" hat and you may win! The winner of the contest will get a free night at the Hotel Fusion on Union Square in San Francisco CA

We have set up a beautiful backroads run from the casino to Thunderhill. Its approximately 75 miles and will take about 2 1/2 hours. This is offered to those that don't wish to put their Minis on track. If the run begines at 9:00AM you will be arriving at 11:30AM at Thunderhill for lunch, games, parade laps and awards.

The Thunderhill staff are arranging a "Newlywed Game". All I know is that you need to be a couple to compete. They will select the contestants and you will be asked "Newlywed" questions. That's ALL I know for now. This well also be held during lunch. The winner will also get one free night's stay at the Hotel Fusion on Union Square in San Francisco.

We have enough interest in the "In-Car" videos being offered by Dave Mani so he will be there. Please make sure you email Eric Diamond if you would like to take advantage of this service. I am attaching a flier.

Location: PO Box 750 Shasta, CA 96087		I know that this is NOT a racing event, BUT there will be some noteable drivers and Minis there, so if you want to come out and watch you are more than welcome. Here are just a few: Vince Parker USTCC Rookie of the Year will be sharing #96 with our own Hans Dinse. Steve Lilves will be driving his Huffaker prepared Classic Mini, Mike Kearney will be driving the 5-Time National Champion "Fortech" Mini, and we will have Don Racine and the Racine family driving three of the Mini Mania racing classic Minis.

Location: PO Box 750 Shasta, CA 96087		FYI Just heard from Rob Cerno that the rooms for the Colusa Casino are sold out for MINI Thunder, so you will need to find a room elsewhere. I suggest Willows as it is near the track and has plenty of hotels.

If you are looking for rooms. Holiday Inn Express, Baymount, Travel Lodge. You can call Michelle @ 530-934-8900 and she can book you for anyone of these. Make sure you tell them you are with MINI Thunder and going to a Thunderhill event. They do offer discounts!
