Can we go for a test drive?

We actually have that question almost daily... with a real car in the showroom... we get a lot of tire kickers.

SCH has updated the Points series for the Stock Sedan class only.

We have decided to combine the Mini-Cooper series and stock sedan classes to spice up the competition a little bit. Here is the basic information:
• Points Series for Stock Sedan will be from April 9 thru May 14th (six weeks)
• Winner of this series will win a REAL Mini-Cooper for 1 week. (Arrangements through Mini of Pittsburgh)
• Second Place will win a Guardian Security System by Safe N' Sound
• Third and Forth Place will win Steelers Training Camp VIP passes. - TBD

What you will need to do:
Purchase a Stock Hand-Out motor - $25.00
Run "Mini" graphics on your sedan body - $5 or 6 bucks
Mini-Cooper body - no longer required due to unavailability

But wait, there is more! That will come later... for complete schedule info:

Further Notes:
With purchase of hand-out motor – you will now no longer be required to “turn-in” the motor(s) at the end of the day. They are yours to keep. You will be able to purchase these motors for $25 during the whole series. After the series the price goes back to retail, which is around $40. These are Trinity Monster Motors specifically sent to SCH for this series.

Just a friendly reminder, the mini-cooper series starts this Saturday - All stock sedans will be running the race, but you must purchase a stock hand out motor and stickers.

Just a friendly reminder, Mini Series starts Saturday. Everyone who wants to race stock sedan must purchase the hand-out motor at the shop. Pricing is only $25 w/brushes & springs.
Decals are not in yet, but that will be another $5
