Nice write up Jerry! Nice pics Buente!

60 cars, that seems good. What are the requirements? Does one need a SCCA license? Are there only MCS’ or are Coopers involved also?

Funny…………………

a short agricultural excursion

Very Kool………………………….

db and Todd of Whiteroofradio fame stepped up and offered Todd’s car as a replacement.

Someday when mine gets out of my 100,000 mile warranty I’m gonna do it!

Ah yea, leftover parts happened to be an Alta Intake and a H-sport adjustable rear sway bar. Oh yea, I didn’t mention the Ferodo pads either.

Man, what a great weekend! This how racing should be.

[...] Todd and I just got back from St. Louis where we had a pretty full weekend. You can get an idea of what happened over at Motoringfile, plus I’ll be doing a full write up over at dbmini tomorrow. [...]

Corrections:

It’s Brain Black who drives the second Webb Motorsports car.

Waylen’s name is spelled Hunsucker

Phil owns the NAMCCRS as well as administering it.

Sorry,
Sid

To race one needs to have a racing license. Be it from SCCA, or from Phil Whicks Driving Academy. If your MINI is ready to race. Roll hoop extinguisher and a couple of other mods, and you are unlicensed, I understand that you can take the school the day before the race and then get a provisional license to run the next day. I say provisional because you are watched and if you aren’t staying clean etc, they can prevent you from running. Generaly from the SCCA you have to attend two driving shcools to quaify for the licensure.

How about a class break down of the results. I wonder if Walen Hunsucker was the only one in his class again.

To my knowlege there haven’t been entries in the MC classes at all.

It looked like the end of the weekend for Randy and a big letdown for his many fans in the MINI community who had helped sponsor his trip to St. Louis until db and Todd of Whiteroofradio fame stepped up and offered Todd’s car as a replacement.

A nice guy, db… offering up his friend’s car to be put on the track! :) With friends like that…
