Team Justacooper


As a MC owner, I'm sure I'm not alone in having heard "it's justacooper" a few too many times, all the while knowing that in capable hands the MC can not just hang with the MCS, but humble it.

While we all may not be hot-shoe driver's yet, part of the responsibility each member has in joining Team Justacooper will be to advance their own driver education so that they can become the driver in the 115 hp MC that goes toe-to-toe with the MCS owners and shows off just how good the MC can be on the track or in autocross.

Founding members of Team Justacooper include:
  • TMGRobyn
  • Dave
  • KiLO
  • OctaneGuy

I think he wants that on the down low. If you start a similar club, I'm sure he'll be in contact with you.

Oh, ok. Understandable.

Do you know if I can get the Jet Black one in higher resolution?

Hopefully I've edited my sig correctly, and my new badges will show up.

3 weeks until I get back on the autocross course / track.

Aw That's so nice of you.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Results from last weekend's San Diego BMWCCA Autocross
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

San Diego BMWCCA throws all the MINIs into one MINI class regardless of modifications (kind of the opposite of what SCCA does ). On Saturday we had 6 MINIs at the autocross - 5 MCS and 1 MC (me).

Final Results
  1. MCS - 111.326
  2. MCS - 111.57
  3. MC - 114.064
  4. MCS - 115.035
  5. MCS - 118.929
  6. MCS - 119.352
I know that my MC could have won the class that day. It definitely was capable of it. The limiting factor was the driver, and I fully intend to work on improving my skills this Summer and dropping my times.

You should totally turn that into a magnetic badge.. I bet there are plenty of MC Owners who'd want one
