This is an interesting video from the early days when my Mini was still "street Legal".

This segment shows the fun battle I had with the Vette, by the time I had pitted for the driver change with Jason, we were 2 laps ahead of the entire field. No Problem Raceway 90 min. Enduro, Nov. 2004.<object width="400" height="300"> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?c...p;fullscreen=1" /> <embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?c...p;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br /><a href="

Wow! Thanks for posting that video. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. That must have been extremely exciting and frustrating all at the same time.

WOW, thanks for posting that!! I got frustrated after just 4 minutes of watching the corvette block you. You were def. a LOT faster through the twisty parts.

Great battle throughout the rest of the video too.

Holly cow. Nice driving!! It was fun to watch that Vette recede in your rear view mirror whenever you passed him!

Whats up with the blocking, they allow that? Nice driving, stayed right on him and kept the pressure on (you could tell).

No, blocking is not allowed however you can see that the Vette made more than "one" defensive move several times.
I left him after the third pass, he never caught up with me again...said his tires were gone.

I'm slowly going through all my videos and will try to post them in chronologiical order as well as the ones with an excitement factor.
This one is from the SCCA race school held back in Feb of 2004. It was my first race in the rain.
My Mini was practically stock, still had A/C, radio, seats etc... and street tires used for rain tires.
