I came aross this video of JUST COOPERS racing (MINI COOPER CUP)

Hey guys, I was looking on youtube today and came arcoss this video of a bunch on JUSTACOOPERS racing. These Coopers were racing in a MINI Cup. It looks like these Coopers had a lot of work done to them in terms of suspension and engine. MAN does the N/A Cooper with some engine work sounds SEXY!!

I found it odd that the driver was not wearing any safety gear such as gloves, firesuit (no sleeves).

I really do like the way my car sounds too. Can't wait to put a header in. Should sound really good after that.

Good find!!! I've been looking for some video of the first few years of the John Cooper Challenge, but have not been able too. I think this video is of the Scottish MINI Cooper Cup. As far as I know they only race R50's.
