But based on membership, probably mostly USA, with several from the UK...
Even within the US, each state enforces rules a little different. Emissions are a federal requirement. California.... Well, California is on a different planet....
Then there is the "for off road only", which tends to be the most relaxed to the point where the same cars can't be driven on public roads "legally".
Yep, what's OK on US roads probably wouldn't be allowed on roads in Germany. Even the mod's are restrictive in Germany and for the most part need to be TUV approved.... So different places - Different rules...-

Richard only has to find another 3/10ths and he'll move to 2nd fastest FWD then we will have 2 MINI's in the top spot-

All I can say is:::::
Really great. A street legal non-nitrous Mini doing a 12 sec 1/4 mime. "WOW"
I really liked this video and it goes to prove a front wheel drive car driven correctly is still a pretty good drag racer.
I know there are faster Mini's but the key words are "STREET LEGAL""

Great job with that...

not sure how it's the fastest around bedford............Kavs went 1:21 with stock M45 supercharger.......
Leaderboard -
Yes, but was Kav's street legal?
There are so many factors here with this one and that one and another one all claiming fastest around or down XYZ track that it's darn near impossible to believe any of them.
All I have to say is it is good to see people out and about and still trying to push the envelope with both the 1st and 2nd Gen MINI. -
I guess the lap doesn't count if you hit a cone?
Those would be gone by the end of the first session of a DE. -
