Steve Diniz Wins both races in St. Louis

Steve Diniz in his Madness Equipped MINI takes 2 first place finishes in St. Louis.

The first race was Saturday, 95 degrees and extremely humid. Day 2 saw rain early on in qualifing but held off for race time. Diniz took first place in race 1 and 2 due to the unfortunate crash of the Webb motorsports car, our only competition.

Sunday for practice and qualifing the car felt extremely strong as the outside temps were in the low 60's. Come race time the car developed a problem with Steve's custom exhaust which was not known until after the race. Steve finished in first again but by no where near the margin on the previous day. We discovered that the bolts that hold the exhaust to the header had come completely out thereby eliminating almost all the torque from the car. A simple fix but nobody knows how the bolts came loose. You can bet that won't happen again!


We look forward to Summit Point on June 29th. Steve Diniz will be in attendance as well as our Mad-Dog Turbo car, Steve needs some competition after all
