I tell you. I am looking forward to the 18th. If I put down a good enough time during the day, I will switch to Little Eggs ride for the last timed runs. Either way, with the way the turn out looks right now and the NUTS representig it will be a blast.

For transmissions and mileage, I'm on my 3rd transmission (Midlands - all failures due to the cold weather seal issue) and have 95,000 miles - I'm not as worried about hurting the transmission on the track as I am that the coming winter will be cold.

The "justacooper" should be delivered Tuesday. I like the improved driver idea and will shoot for local police driving school this year.

I'm coming out of an 04 MCS-JCW . . .

Good job Jason! Love the rallye puddle splash, keep up the great video work. I'm planning on the September SLMP.

And, this year, I'm campaigning in class E against highly modded e36 M3's (all running GC/Koni setups, camber plates or similar) and e30 M3's and M Coupes and Roadsters...

Our last event results:

1Tm 697 scobib 2003 MINI Cooper Pure Silver/Black 55.856
2Tm 115 David 1999 BMW M3 Blue 56.885
3Tm 15 Jeff 1999 BMW M3 Blue 58.769
4m 7 Steve 1999 BMW M3 Coupe Estoril Blue 59.088
5m 16 Luis 1990 BMW M3 60.4651
6m 33 Mike 2000 BMW Z M Silver 61.4851
7m 53 Stuart 1995 BMW M3 Avus Blue 61.485

I like the use the line myself... "What guys? It's JUST a COOPER?!?"

I agree with Bullfrog. "It's not about being fast, it's about being first"!!

Looks like it. And those are definitely results to be proud of.


Hopefully I'll be able to pull off a good showing on Sunday. We have 20 MINIs showing up for an L.A. autocross - 5 MC and 15 MCS.

Yup... Leading the class to date! Might change as we move back to our normal venue, Mineral Wells, which is HUGE and tends to have more hp-type courses. Although, even there the Cooper is VERY competitive. But, we shall see!

But that's the irony of it.

Oh this? It's just a Cooper (said while thinking "It will dust your @ss on the track, buddy").

I hope the JustACooper is somewhat tounge-in-cheek, Like when Scott goes up against an M3 and cleans it's clock. Owner says "what was that?" Answer, "JustACooper" . . .

I kinda like it . . .

*Edit: IRONY - that's the work I was lookin' for Angie*
