Default Congrats to Chin Motorsports and Mark Hicks

"Then I went to Sebring...One of the track days I attended was organized by a company called Chin Motorsports...A cheerful fellow gave the longest safety briefing since the Saturn 5 was prepared to leave the earth's gravitational field...I laughed" ... at first the rules were a pain. Then they weren't. At 4 PM, on a circuit far more treacherous than anything in the U.K., when nothing had been bent, I suddenly realized I was attending the best organized track day I'd ever experienced."

Chris Harris

Excellence August, 2011 Page 8

Congrats to Mark and CMS !!

Of course he did. It wouldn't be Chin without Mark and Maria's great smiles, the conch shell, and the handout of the infamous Chin Koozies (which I have but I cheated to get mine. I made them use it for their beverages at my house where Mark left it by accident).

The best DE events that I attend are organized by Chin!

Chris Harris knows his stuff, and is an accomplished shoe. He drove the RS Spyder at LeMans a few years back, and might be the only motoring journalist to have driver a modern F1 car. High praise indeed coming from Chris!

Always a great time with Mark, Maria, Todd and the gang. On a social level too, these guys are a lot of fun.
I did miss not seeing my buddie Todd and the Yellow Dodge Truck at the Glen but congrats to Todd on his new born baby
+1 more for Chinmotorsports

Chin events are among the best run track events we've ever attended.
