Live timing at grandamerican.vfx.com/Rolex/GrandAmerican_800.asp.

Not looking good for the MINIs. Nuzzo cars are down a number of laps and it seams the Competition Associates car did not start. :???:

 

The Competition Associates car is underway. Its splitting the two Nuzzo cars, close to Tony's car.

The live timing is outstanding!

 

Race over.

MINIs finished 22, 23, and 26 in class.

Competition Associates finished ahead of the two Nuzzo Motorsports cars.

Those are nice!

It seems like both MINI teams had problems during the race.

 

Anyone know what wheels and tires they are running? The wheels look small and the tires look fat....

 

At Daytona 2004
On the 20 car BBS 15" wheels with hoosier 225x45 tires
On the 21 car BBS 17" wheels with hoosier 245x45 tires
On the 98 car mixed set fo 15" wheels.

Tony,

15" wheels on the 20 car? How the brakes holding up? I would have thought you would need bigger brakes requiring larger wheels for road racing...

Hope you guy's can keep the racing going. I love watching the MINI's race and don't mind watching 2hrs just to get the 10 seconds of footage. TIVO helps, just fast forward until I spot a MINI.

Can you give us any information about what broke on the car that the engine "Blew" on? Would be nice to know where the weak link in the engine is, not sure anyone else has "Blown" an engine before.
