Referred to this site by our good friend and sponsor, Todd Cook from TCE Performance. Great site. Although I have owned Mini's the last 9 years, this is the first time I have stumbled across this awesome source of info. Look forward to contributing as I have time, I usually spend more time in the shop than on forums though Some of you may be familiar with some of the Mini's that have passed through our facility, either our own cars or customer cars. We are perhaps most well known for running the 2003 Mini Cooper S Hill Climb Special, driven in the 2010 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb by Savannah Rickli. She became the youngest driver in the 88 year history of the event to see the checkered flag, being just 16 years and 11 months on race day. Savannah, and Rebecca Greek, one of the most respected co-drivers in North America finished 3rd in Time Attack 2WD, and Savannah was named Rookie of the Race 2010. They are gearing up to race again at Pikes Peak in 2011. Several new sponsors have come on-board to assist them in the world's most famous hill climb event, and the Time Attack class has almost quadrupled in size this year. My 2005 Cooper S was driven to several SCCA GS National Tour and ProSolo wins during 2005 and 2006, culminating in Craig Wilcox winning GS at Nats in Topeka in 2006. The car has since moved to MI where it has been campaigned successfully the last few years. If you in Colorado during Pikes Peak race week, please stop past to say hello. We will be based out of the superb facilities at Pikes Peak International Raceway, will have a stand at Fan Fest, and will be in the pits during testing and race day. Otherwise, try to make Mini in the Mountains in CO in Aug, where you can have the chance to race against Savannah and her Mini on the autocross courses, or look over the car in one of our partners vendor booths, Group4 Autosport and Revolution Motorworks. See you at the track Grant Barclay

Welcome sir! I noticed the 03 has a tune, who did it? I would also like to see some pics of the cars!
Damn, bought and installed an autopower 4 point bar last year because I couldn't find out if you were still making stuff for MINIs...Glad to see you're still up and running Put Bones down on your shortlist if you're looking for interior cages or bars, he does some nice work....
