In the States?

I haven't heard anything, and I doubt that there is, but does anybody know of something like the John Cooper Challenge in the States? Or any race series on tracks for MINIs? By the way, check out the scoop on the White S, very cool mod for Pepper White MCS, I would think!

I do like the scoop, the red one looks a lot more clean though.

He was smart and had the Japanese electric folding mirror option installed for this sort of situation!

You can see MINI's racing in the Grand Am Cup here in the US.

I'd pay for the Union Jack around his hood scoop. Wonder where he got that ?

I hope so. I've had a lot of trouble trying to find a replacement black driver's side mirror cap. They seem to be on permanent backorder!

A few months ago Anthony Cooper (John Cooper's nephew) told me that he was going to start sponsoring a similar event in the US. I hope it happens.
