Miller Motorsports Park UTAH Wintercross

Here are my two timed runs from the Wintercross event at Miller Motorsports Park today that the videos actually worked for. This is only half of the track and with cones (For those who are unfamiliar with MMP).

Gives you a good idea of how slow (I am) my mini really is.

Thanks. Having a gti in the class really does tilt the scales. I like lots of snow or totally dry. Not a fan of the in-between conditions.

I was at the event also, Ran my 'lil Cooper on CHEAP all seasons. I had good top speed down the back streach,100+mph, turns, well I could over power the tires at will nearly anywhere on the track.
Tanuki was smooth and stable for the most part. Looked good.
1 more event, I NEED TIRES AND CAMBER PLATES!!! 'Eh, its only money I don't have now..... Still had a GREAT TIME!!!!
To the guy from Wyoming with the Silver S that shows up, KEEP COMMING!!! Always good to have another Mini tearing it up LEGALLY!!!! lol

Yesterday was the last race of the Wintercross season.

I took 3rd, John Butcher in the Silver 03 MCS took 1st! and the GTI that usually wins took 2nd.

Here is one of my runs:

3 DRY
1 Wet
1 Snow Covered
