    Fixed!

    M/A doesn't like the Flickr-supplied hotlinks, I guess.

    Thanks for the ringside reporting. Not a bad field for the first race.

    Find out if Team Krispy Kreme is handing free donuts! I'm somewhat conflicted, I loves the MINIs, but I loves the donuts. :donut1:

    Looking forward the the updates!

    Thanks.... :biggrin5:

    We're at the vinyl wrap place getting the wrap done. I posted it on the Fast Toys Facebook page if you want to see it.

    We'll be at the track tomorrow morning at 7.

    That looks really neat! I especially like the Oxy Blu with the orange wheels. Is that one your MINI?

    Keep up the good work. :Thumbsup:

    Are the B-spec cars on the track by themselves or are they racing with another group?

    Could get real lonely out there.......

    Thanks! Yeah, the 'MINI Gulf' is mine :D

    Also, yes, the B-Spec cars are out on the track alone. They'd get run over otherwise! Lol

    Should be a good race. Not a lot of entrants, but it should be fun.

    Have any on track shots yet?

    Love the golf colors. I've always thought they's look great with that color of Oxy Blu.

    Absolutely... it should be a very tight race!

    Here's a shot from the track from my iPhone: Better ones later when I have a chance to upload from my nice camera.

    Yeah, it came out great!


    Same here... would be awesome. And the truth is, if you did a bolt-in cage, it could easily still be your daily driver when you weren't racing. The mods are really minor, relative to your typical racecar.


    Here's a shot of one of the RSR MINIs repping the best MINI forum :D:

    Wet race! I always like the rain, it is such a great equalizer & brings the talent to the top.

    Nice pictures from a phone no less. Did you notice how much flatter the MINI is in that corner compared to the Fiesta?

    Looking forward to your next report. :Thumbsup:

    Thanks....

    Since there won't be any televised coverage even post-race I don't think a spoiler warning is required...

    Not only was the race run in the wet but they lost about a third of the race to a full course caution due to "deteriorating conditions and standing water" on the track! Check out the notes here to see how it went.

    Ernie F Jr. is 14-yrs old. the kid can flat out drive. dad drove the car to a win, but Jr. is faster. i wish my father's sperm contained that much talent and/or $$$.
