For those of you thinking about getting in to racing a Mini...
There is a race prepared '03 Mini with 1500 miles approx. sitting in Baton Rouge collecting dust. No, it is not my car.
It belongs to a felow I know who started to build a race Mini at the same time I did. He soon decided that racing was not for him and parked it.
I know that is is totally gutted, has an excellent weld-in cage, KW coil-overs, 15" SRW wheels etc...
Don't know if he even is interested in selling the car, he is a liittle unusual...
Anyway, it would certainly be an excellent platform to start from.
If interseted, I can get you more info.
I just would like to see someone else join the DM class with BMW club racing.
Just a thought,
Steve

 

What's the story on this car?

This car belongs to aquaintence of mine in Baton Rouge. His car had 1200 miles on it when he started to turn it into a race car.
The fellows name is Ken Guidry, a long time Porsche machanic.
The car has a nice Chrome-molly weld-in cage, completely gutted.
As far as I know. it has KW coil overs, 15 x 7 light wheels with 225/45/15 hoosiers, headers, pulley etc....
He tried racing it about three or four times and lost interest.
Car would make a great platform for further development into D-mod or GTS-3 NASA. Engine probably has less than 1500 miles on it.
I have not spoken to Ken since May of 2004 however I know he stil has the car parked in his shop (Hydrocut).
It's worth looking into, shame to see it just sit there.
