    it will run in NASA GTS, ST and SU, TTU
    SCCA has a couple also

    We can detune the car with a stock engine and run about 3x as many categories. Good thing is it will be a sorted turn key race car:devil:

    The difference between this scratch built MINI and "other" projects is that this one will actually be finished...

    Even with a stock motor, at the weight of this thing, it'll still be brutally quick. No corners cut here.

    This is, by far, the single most comprehensive set of photos I've ever seen which captures the construction of a race-built MINI. I can't wait to see it run Jan! :Thumbsup:

    I like the mockup photographs, you will have to look closely to see that it is purpose built.

    Well done, I hope to see it rolling around a track near here. :)

    Jan --- I'm booked for HOD that Sat. Plan to just watch friends run on Sun. Any chance I can schedule a lap around the track with you? Gonna be a pretty long line wanting rides once the word spreads.
