Wow !

I ordered this $13 DVD from Amazon and thought I was buying a nice flick on canyon racing - but it has at least 2 segments on the California MINI community, including a pulley party hosted by M7 and a track matchup between an M7 MINI and a 260 hp 350Z.

Some very nice footage of MINIs on twisty canyon roads and some great track footage of MINIs holding off much beefier challengers.

Here is the write-up from Amazon -

Format:

Chasing the Touge takes you inside the world of canyon racing where adrenaline junkies race through the "touge," or mountain passes, pushing their cars and driving abilities to the limit. Follow drifters, rally racers, and tuners who run the canyons as they aspire to break into the world of professional motorsports. Experience the sights and sounds of pushing triple digits downhill on twisty mountain roads and get a taste of why these people risk their lives running the touge. From midnight runs to drifting and rally racing, Chasing The Touge holds nothing back. It is all about you vs. the mountain. How far can you push it without going over the edge?


The copyright on the video is 2006 so I assume this is fairly recent and not re-issued. Definately a fun little DVD for the money !!
