We kick things off with something every MINI owner needs to hear about: Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI). Never heard of it? Neither had Dale—until Chad from Detroit Tuned dropped this ticking time bomb of knowledge. It’s a real party killer hiding inside your engine, and if you’re not paying attention, it could do catastrophic damage. We're talking broken pistons, bent rods, the whole mechanical horror show. But don’t worry—we’ll tell you how to avoid this evil little gremlin and keep your MINI motoring safely.

Then we cruise into the Friday, May 2 happenings of MINIs On The Dragon—and oh boy, are there a lot. We’ve got 14 different MINI drives, Dragon Bingo, and enough events to make your calendar wave a white flag. Whether you’re a speed freak, scenery lover, or just there for the MINI mayhem, there’s literally something for everyone on Friday. And if you're not there for the roads, well… there’s always the people-watching, and MINIS! 

So buckle up, listen in, and get ready for a blend of serious engine talk and full-throttle fun.
