    Thanks Nathan and Mike. I'm working on the videos now. This is all new to me so the editing is slow, mostly because I've been stuck at work without a computer. The GTS class was fun, the Mini is very competitive. Still need to lose a few pounds, I'm about 250lbs over.

    Very cool! Congrats!!!

    By chance, any idea what/where Bob and Jerry are? I thought they were going to run this season as well, but I haven't heard a peep out of either of them...

    Are you the lone Mini so far in the USTCC this season?

    Jerry is parked in my backyard in his RV. He mowed my lawn today and made dinner. He also swept my pool:cornut:. He is selling his race car. It's also at my house and is a great deal. Ready to race, log book and annual inspection completed this weekend.
    Bob last I heard was going to do the Redline Time Attack stuff with his uber turbo powered mini.
    Rich Peterson is rumored to be coming out to race with me in the USTCC but so far is a no show.
    So yea I'm all alone rep'n the Mini's in USTCC.

    Well done!

    You didn't mention any exhaust issues so I assume that means there weren't any issues with your fix (this one). How was the noise? Were you deafening everyone behind you?

    Added a video to the first post. Its of the GTS3 race on sunday. At the end I pass a lapped car and did not see the yellow flag so I was DQ'd. Live and learn. I'll be uploading others as time permits.

    Steve did you watch the video. The sound is kinda crappy, picking up noise from the rollbar I think, but you can hear the exhaust if you turn up the sound.
