    Homestead Race Results:

    Not a good weekend for RSR!

    Got rained on ... although it stopped later in the race.

    195 Car finished 20th in class - after a penalty for "avoidable contact" and another one for leaving the pits with the rear hatch open (fortunately he didn't take the fueler with him when he pulled away)

    196 Car finished 23rd.

    198 Car lost oil pressure on Lap 15 and got parked - 36th in class.

    As for the 197 Car [Honda Civic] - fastest in practice. Was in 3rd when one of the rear hubs broke (on lap 45)! Fixed and back out on the track - but ended up 28th.

    The New Jersey Race is in two weeks (May 12th @ 3:15 PM).

    DUHH!! Has anyone at Minimotorsport or Motoringfile recognized that this is the last year for Randy to run MINI's? RSR is running Honda's and Ford is courting them to run Fords. MINI hasn't done a thing to help that team and doesn't appear to be interested in any type of motorsports be it road racing or rally. Top that off with this same article on motoringfile that shows a photo of the US LED MINI which isn't racing this year (Randy has that sponsorship on a Honda). I'll continue to be a big supporter of RSR because I like how Randy runs his business....obviously MINI doesn't feel the same about him or the entire racing community that drives MINI's. A little too little...too late! (I'm done now and feel alot better!)

    Wake up MINI USA!

    It will be a sad day for all us MINI owner's when RSR converts totally to Honda or Ford. No hard feelings Team RSR we will still be your friends.

    Maybe MINI will see this & realize that Team RSR are racing Honda's & soon to stop racing MINI's. :rolleyes5:

    Indy Test???

    Just wondering what Team RSR found out from the Indy test? Looks like a fast track.
