Took the Mini Drag Racing

I posted my drag times elsewhere, but that was the wrong section of NAM.

Anyway, last Sunday I went to the drag strip with a car club at my university.

The Mini ran pretty strong, but every time I did a pass my 1/4 time got better. I lowered my runflat tires to 28psi and I surprisingly did not have any problems with grip like I usually do on public roads.
I did do a small burnout before each run which helped a little.

I did about 6 passes. My best times were 14.32, 14.32, and finally 14.25 . My car club recorded most of the drag races and you can see me at 2:51 and 3:50. My favorite is 2:51 because I destroy a r/t Challenger .

Very nice! Once I started watching the video I said to myself "That track looks familiar!". I'm located in Harker Heights, if you ever wanna cruise just shoot me a PM.

I like how you beat the black BMW coupe at one point, was that a 1 series?
