I was at Sun Valley Speedway (KZ Speedway) in California on Sunday 10/7/07 to practice with my RC Motorcycles. The guy that runs the track loved my Mini Cooper so much that he told me to run it on the track... I wasn't sure it would fit, but he kept telling me to do it so I did... Here's the video (an RC Car Action Editor was my co-pilot)

Who got the better laptimes?

[Mini_Magic]

That is so cool!

I went go karting on Tuesday for my birthday and thought to myself, "How cool would it be to drive my Mini around this track?".

Is it me or have you got s/c drops? sounds very whiney.

[J-Lo]

Thanks guys.... my car does have s/c drop gears, coil springs, KYB Gas-adjust, swaybars, etc.... I just had all the suspension stuff added and that was the first time I'd driven the car hard since... it handles brilliantly

@Stardude: Thanks.... if I didn't want to run the risk of beating up the track too much I would have been all over it.... when Mini Meet West 08 comes up next June, and they have a proper autocross setup going on, then we'll see....

@nurseholliday: I left my transponder in my RC car so I didn't get lap times...lol... but I think I may have pulled a better lap time than the Nitro RC Bikes.... and maybe as good as the 1/5 scale cars that run on the track as well

@Mini-magic: Kart tracks would be even better than what I was running on... they'd be a little bigger, with more forgiving turns... tyhat should be fun... you should ask and see what they say

@jammy basturd: Thanks

@minimarco: I think mine sounds about the same... I have a suction cup mount for my cam, and I had it suctioned to the inside rear side window and shot a video from the inside.... the cam was zoomed in too much and I didn't take the time to check... but I'm going to take the suction and put it on the outside of the car on the door or something and run it again some time

Thats great!..

...my car does have s/c drop gears....

Knew it No mistaking the sweet sound.
