haha. i beat mini-t to posting.

anyways, scca was different there as the track was wide open and supported higher HP cars. our mini was shod with the stock x-lites and crappy tires. it was fun though but the tires were getting beat on too hard, so we didn't run in the afternoon. i can now say without a doubt that if you do plan to autoX, get real tires. the stocks weren't even driveable. the turn in wasn't the same. i drifted/dragged the rear around the ENTIRE bottom turn to the cheers and delight of the turn workers.....and then proceeded to kill 3 cones 2 turns later. they only had one real slalom (where the mini shines).

there was another red MCS, but it was for show as it didn't race.....

SEMA had a good amount of minis. mmmm... turbo.... that is all i can say.

mini-t will be in charge of posting the pics. b

hey erik. i will stay away from that. many start off in their different ways and you basically gotta be in the right place and the right time to have a chance of being looked at just to begin with. they are pros, so they all definitely have a little(more like alot of) something extra that seperates them from the other (pros)chosen ones. b
