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.

I'll join... I won class B in 2004 and class C in 2005 with the Lone Star Chapter BMWCCA racing against many an S and many BMW's... 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?!?"

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*
