http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UltuzE9QXGw My son and I went to the North Star Drag way in Denton Tx. for the Ricekiller throwdown!!! it was Mom Vs. Son! Mini Cooper S vs. 88 Camaro!
Of course MOM won!!! but..My son broke his 88Camaro motor mounts... here are a couple pics and a video of our runs!! I only did 4 passes!! my son did several more and broke his motor mount!!
oh, my reaction times suck!! being it my first time!! on Stock run-flats,"no burn out for me!! No launching! I didn't care about the time! its all about fun!! and racing my son!! tee-hee!!

 

Sweeet!!!! Smart move on not hard launching and not doing burnouts. Glad you had fun!!

 

Got a question how does someone break motor mounts? And also is doing launches bad for the car?

 

The Motor mounts broke off my son's 88 Camaro..I think they were just old !!! we replaced them...and I don't launch my MINI... but others at the track with big muscle cars have their launch Techniques! or transbrakes...I've got another video of my friends MINi vs. my son's camaro and other cars...it was a fun day

Wow !! Great video.

 

I actually found this video on youtube before I bought a mini or joined these forums. Cool to see the recorder on here.
