Check out the videos - this is a horsepower race. Only 22 turns in 5.2 miles - all fast sweepers, no MINI twistys. Subaru WRX Sti's and Mitsu EVO's will rule.

But if I had to pick a MINI for this one, it would be Longboards 1800cc stroker car. 350Whp and 262Wtq all on the top end. Big intercooler and oil cooler. Bryan, do you have the stones to do this?

 

no.... he's built like a girl

my guess is the big guy won't see this thread

I haven't rubbed his bald head in a few days anyways

Craig, what you don't know is what's been done /being done to Ian's car over the winter

 

Jan -
A lot of donkey love OK, have Ian drive LB's car. Push that Rotrex to the max. His new motor shouild be well broken in by June 25th.

 

I think it already is

 

Is this the race like or known as the silver state classic? If so IIRC you go in a class set by an average speed. It's a mostly straight flat road so going faster then the speed isn't hard it's making sure you hit the exact average mph on the head. I know someone who won their class a number of years ago and the key was knowing the exact distance and therefore the exact time you need to run. Don't really need a fast car, just good timing equipment.
Again, that's if this is the same as Nevada Open Road Race or silverstate classing, can't remember the name.

Yep, it might be just a tad quicker.......

 

This is not the Silver State Classic. This is a re-titled Virginia City Hillclimb, in which Hwy 341 up to Virginia City is closed down. You can read more on the history about it here >>

SHHH, We'll know next week.

 

and I wouldn't dream of putting a turbo on it

 

Thanks for the vote of confidence but after doing a bit of research I am positive that both ME and my Mini are set up for a much tighter course I really appreciate the thought though.

Have to give the nod to Chase. Good car, good driver.

 

 

Ok, I apologizes. This could be fun. Bit of a haul from the southeast but not as far as Towing to Miller. Evo's and STi's have similar aero barriers to the mini. We run against them in the GT2 and they still have significantly lower MPH on the straights even with large hp advantages over the Porsche. They seem to run into the aero wall in the high 130's low 140's. Which is still higher then the mini seems to run into it's wall in the 120's. I'm going to start working on some stuff to see if my car can overcome that a bit. Jan's got some good ideas I plan to try.

 

Another vote for Ian. Good car and large ***** is a tough combo to beat.

 

What he said!!! + new goodies, will be even faster!!!

 

IB Patrick, I can not respond to PM's. Please E-mail me.

 

Ian, I tried to email you and it told me that you have chosen not to receive emails from the site...

 

I don't recall choosing that but ... Ian AT maitlandimports DOT com

 

Another vote for Chase!

 

So, I still dont have a positive "yes" from anyone. If we are going to have a representative from the forum, someone needs to step and say "I will be there"...my inbox is open.

 

oops
