Hi everyone!

 

Last weekend I took my Mini to my Uni car club's "Grasskhana" dirt track racing event. Pitted against some MX-5s, MR2s, and even a Subaru WRX STi I managed to come away with the fastest time by about a tenth of a second. The Mini was so perfectly suited to the tight and slow course that it managed to live up to it's giant killer reputation. Here's some of the pictures and a video of the day:

 

Video: (I did one too many loops around a cone in the first lap, the second lap was my fastest of the day)

Well done and well driven.

The video is good and it shows you driving very neatly which is the key to that sort of event.

Very good drive.

 

You did well beating the scooby.

 

I suspect all the RWD stuff spent the whole time side ways, which probably looked very impressive but your controlled smooth drive is far more effective

Nice! What spec is the engine and do you have a flyoff handbrake?
