Ferrari school

I know it's a bit late but are there by chance going to be any other MINI's at the Ferrari school this weekend at VIR? If so, Say hello. So far it looks like i'm the only car not from Italy. I plan on making a lot of red car owners mad that their cars got "Smoked by a MINI". Hope to see you all there. The Alpha club will be on the south course but, not me. You didn't really think i'd go up against the F cars with that full course big long straight for them to blow past me did you. North course has a nice straight with a kink that scares most of them.

Can't make the Ferrari school, but I hope you have fun. Don't be too tough on them, their cars are very expensive to repair.

Rubbin' is racin'... IMO there's no place for rubbing at a Driver's School. But it's not my school, ya know.

Hey bluesmini,

Hope you're having fun running around VIR North. I met you at the tavern Friday Night. I was the Daniel with the Dark Silver MINI.

Give us a full Ferrari beatdown writeup

well, there's not much of a beatdown. i'm in the race group that means harness, helmets, firesuit and extinguisher. there are only 5 other cars in my group. 4 of them full fledged race cars. since i'm in the fastest group i can go out in any of them but one doesn't allow passing????? and the other one has so many people in it that is just a cluster f#*@. i need someone that has less that 500 horsepower to play with. lots of really cool cars here that i'll never own. endless track time. i'll post some pics other than that one when i get home and have time to sort through them.
