We (Minis Of The Rockies - minisrock.com) are planning for June 24-28, 2019 in Snowmass Village, down the road from Aspen, on the western side of the continental divide. We're planning on having high altitude tune-up stops in Fruita, CO and in Denver, for those from lower elevations. Ghost towns, mountain roads, scenery. Were about to sign the hotel contract. Still need to take over admin of the MMW webpage.

What about.... Las Vegas, Nevada. Great Mini show during the day and lots of entertainment at night.

...or there is the Shelby Amaerican museumin Boulder, CO.  ...and although not Mini related, it which would be a cool diversion.

I've heard good things about Bozeman, MT

Great place to go

Arnold Nebraska ,in middle of  US great community check             //www.sorcrace.com/   Arnold Nebraska, this year it was only my Mini in 80 miles on hour class.

I have been to Grand Junction! Back in 89 on our way to The Sunbeam International event 4  tigers from L.A and a very fast run from Green River for breakfast 90mph plus great fun .

My suggestion is Grand Junction Colorado.  Halfway between Salt Lake City and Denver, so unfortunately no North/South major highways without heading to SLC or Denver.  From Grand Junction there are numerous great drives - up to the top of the Grand Mesa and up the Colorado National Monument.  Longer drives would get you to Moab Utah and of course Durango, Silverton, and Ouray.  Just a thought ...

Belle Fourche is the site of the geographic center of the 50 United States (Lebanon, Kansas is the geographic center of the 48 contiguous states).

Belle Fourche, South Dakota would also be closer to the "centering" of Canada & USA.

Hmm....

Mike, I think "classic Mini" would include your GTM, a Marcos, etc. The general idea is simply to have an East and a West A-series winner. I'm thinking a fair determination is simply google from place of residence to event, as a method fair to an interstate route or two-lane byways, i.e., "how far away do you live?" But I could be inhaling Lucas smoke.......

Not exactly, CupCake, but close. Kinsley, KS is the town that has the sign pointing to NY and LA with 1,561 miles to each. Lebanon, on the other hand, is the closest town to the geodetic center of the 48 states.

Cupcake, Lebanon, KS, is half way between East and West!  Kansas City would be a fun location, but I'm a little biased on that one.  lenty to do in town and lots of winding, hilly drives with great scenery.  I might have my daily driver, clubby estate presentable by then!

Would that be longest distance as the crow flies, as driven, as Google maps calculates, as your extended holidays add to it or how far you had to push? What if you have an A series in another body, say an Ogle, a Unipower or a GTM or an A series in a new Mini?  If you drive a new Mini flat towing a classic Mini does the mileage on the classic Mini count? 

What's in Lebanon Kansas?

Finally - being in NB, I could win this thing, heh heh ! ;-)

As long as we're throwing out ideas here for an event pretty far in the future, I'd suggest and EAST long-distance award and a WEST long-distance award. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that the next one's in Missoula, MT. It's a slam dunk for someone coming from the East to come the furthest distance. But at the same time, it's quite a drive for someone from, say, San Diego, and one way or the other might entail fewer direct routes. Maybe not a bad idea to acknowledge and reward both directions. And it goes without saying (although I'm saying it) the awards would be for "driven A-Series classic Minis." Only.

And watch a filming of "Street Outlaws" ? I was there in CS in 99, nice area. Denver is cool, Montana is awesome.

OKC ?

I'm sure Dooder and his chums would welcome us.

How about Cheyenne?

Denver, 1984.  Denver, 1989.  Colorado Springs, 1999.

If we were to have another EMW in Colorado we could go inland a bit, maybe Granby, which is an awesome place.
