Good point. It's not like the thing was flogged in quarter mile after quarter mile. I didn't know B-Spec was detuned.

Yeah, to keep the cars equal in B-Spec, you have to put a smaller throttle body in the MINI to limit the HP, otherwise it would have had too much of an HP edge. First thing I'd do if I owned that car would be to put a stock sized throttle body in it. But I just don't see where it would be fun to drive except in B-Spec.

There is a full cage. The restrictor is an easy peasy removal, even so it still does not have many pony's in the stable once the restriction is removed. I think it would be a fun car to beat around the track, but not at that price.
I feel sorry for the seller. Build a car for a series that only ran for 1 year. Why the heck did they pull the plug on Spec B???? -

I have to agree, but if they could get a good sized field it would be pretty good racing. The cars are very evenly matched so the racing would be close. No they wouldn't be fast, but it would be a fun show. Books should be banned at race tracks. :wink:

The last PWC race I saw had a couple of different classes run at the same time and it was rather fun to watch. There was actually lots of rubbin' going on.

TC Kline builds some nice BMW race cars so his build of this one is probably top shelf. I'm not sure how many events he ran last year but I'm confident that the maintenance, upkeep and needed repairs are unmatched. Hey....it's only money!

there were probably no more than 8-10 cars in the field. Last year I watched
all the WC races on tv and you are right the fields are much larger and the
racing was tight. Just to clarify. -
