To all the attendees…

To all the sponsors…

And to all those who wanted to make but couldn’t come…

Thanks for making our Nevada City Adventure 2016 the best of them all! 

 


Quick Adventure Highlights

We Saw Some Great Cars. Our Free Dyno Run was a HUGE hit. And our Tech Talk Speakers were over the top good. 

  • Jerry Tambayong of NM Engineering spoke about “NM Engineering’s new Lightweight Wheels.”
  • Henry Bueno of Wagner Tuning spoke about “How Cool are Intercoolers?” .
  • Hans Dinse, Assistant Service Manager at Niello MINI Sacramento held a Q&A about “Maintenance & Service Issues.”
  • Arric Johnson from JM Turbo Cooper discussed  “What is tuning and how to get your money's worth out of upgrades.”   
  • Gary Pitts, Driving Coach explained the importance of  “Getting In Touch With Your Car.” (After Gary’s talk about driving on a course, I think everyone was ready to race.”

 

 

Our Nevada City Adventure Contest Winners Were...

While everyone at MINI MANIA feels as if we were the biggest winners of all for the great turnout, we did have some contest winners we would like to acknowledge.

Free Dyno Run and ECU Tune up:
