On January 12th, 2008 SCMM celebrated it’s 5th anniversary in the usual fashion by holding a huge birthday bash at the Santa Anita racetrack. However this year a little something unusual was added to the mix. A crew from KNBC TV’s new SoCal car culture show Whipnotic was on the scene to record the event and get a feel for the club. They interviewed several members and club officers and shot a lot of video of the real stars of the show: Our MINIs/Minis.
The clip you see above was aired on KNBC 4 TV in L.A. on Saturday February 2nd, 2008 during the 3pm hour. It turned out great! The club got about 2 minutes of airtime. Highlights included Scott Murphy with his gorgeous classic silver Mini, and Brian White with the uber-powerful 500HP “Black Widow”. Whipnotic did a great job of putting together a wonderful video glimpse of just how much fun this club is to be a part of.
Thank you KNBC and Whipnotic for joining us on our Birthday and capturing the essence of our club: Our Maniac-obsession with these sweet little cars!
