12 Miles of Terror! and A MiNi Vacation In Vegas

12 Miles of Terror and AMVIV?

A MiNi Vacation In Vegas (AMVIV) is going to have a fun run to the 12 Miles of Terror in 2012.

The location

Hwy 97 runs between Hwy 93 and Hwy 96 in the western part of Arizona, USA. It's actually just 11 miles long, but 12 sounded more fun when we coined the term.

Some history

I still remember my first run in my 2003 MINI on that road back in 2003, followed by a MiNi fun-run I organized to incredibly fun (and dangerous as some have found) stretch of pure motoring bliss! It's nice to see both of these events/runs that I started are still going strong.


Here's some threads on some other people organizing their own runs on it after I had introduced them to the 12 miles of terror.

• 12 miles of terror turns
• The 12 miles of terror
• The 12 miles of terror fun run

Have fun and be safe everyone!!

AMVIV I, a history

Well, using the power of archive.org's wayback machine, I've pulled the content from an old website no longer under my control. This is content I wrote in 2004 and published on http://www.aminivacationinvegas.com. You will note that the site is not current and it appears that the real place for all things AMVIV is http://www.amviv.com.
