cool video!


Not sure why that race was shortened :-( It was originally scheduled for 30 mins.


Did you know there were five 1967 Minis in that race that had all raced against each other in an All American Road race down in Daytona in 1967? How awesome that they could all STILL race against each other 47 years later!!!!


I spent most of the three day weekend at the track. In addition to the Can Am Mini challenge it was also the SVRA Vintage Grand Prix weekend. This link has a bunch of pics of the event, both paddock and racing. While a lot of the pics are non-Minis, the majority are Minis.
