Great news, Randy! I flew up to Mid-Ohio for the race last year and saw the 197 car after the race. There was definitely plenty of work to be done to fix that up!
It is disappointing to hear that MINIs support has been rolled back for 2012, however.
Maybe there's something we, the MINI community, can do to encourage MINI to be more supportive. Any suggestions?
I'll be driving over to Daytona this Friday for the race and will be parking in the MINI corral. Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you guys. I'm sure the other MINI owners from Sunshine MINIs would enjoy that as well. By the way, might you have some RSR t-shirts for sale there? I'd love to buy one to support the team.
Either way, good luck!

I echo Blaine's overture of support. There must be a few things we can do as a community of MINI enthusiasts that would send a clear message to MINI USA.
Time to put the thinking caps on... -

Qualifying was run this afternoon. RSR's result:
12th -- #197 (the Honda) -- Puskar / Smalley / Trinkler
20th -- #198 -- Fergus / Gimple
23rd -- #195 -- Conway / Smalley
25th -- #196 -- Farmer / Hart
Unfortunately the top two qualifiers in ST were Kias... :frown2:
Also of note, the #63 BMW 128i piloted by Sarah Cattaneo and ? Kanavas qualified 30th in ST.

The race starts tomorrow (27 Jan) at 1:30pm ET. -

I just read Speed are going to show this race live.....but only on Speed2.com. You can check the website to see whether your provider is on the list (mine isn't, no surprise to me). Race starts in less than 10 minutes.

Time Worthless has it, but you need to buy the sports pass @ $8/month. I'm too cheap for that.

My ISP does not offer it. Not a big surprise there.

I don't think there is a spoiler here, but I am not sure. You have been warned.
Found some pictures from Daytona...

I don't know, but wonder how much the drag from the spoiler would slow them down on the banking.

Yep I think you may be correct. Many aero add-on bits are cosmetic only.
