ucf3 - Welcome to the forum. Can you post some pictures and the details of the modifications you have done so far and what you are looking to do in the future?

MarioKart - I hope Ventura is not in the areas of California that are prone to wild fires with your flame thrower. I would hate to hear the bad press of a wild fire caused by a MINI.

Your MINI looks great. The wheels look great especially the way the camera was able to capture them in motion. (I will credit the camera and assume it was not a slow drive.)

You should anticipate a few recommendations from engine suppliers to follow.

No, in ohio. I meet a bunch of the DCMM over the years. Some of them came to the PVGP, in Pittsburgh.
