No shortage of power there, though I wish the camera was a bit lower.

Love that turbo, Bob! With the POV so low, I got lost a couple of times. Great time! Congrats.

WHP is not even as important as the tune on the carbon unit!

Thanks Guy's for all the compliments & support!
That noise that some find annoying is indeed the HKS blow off valve doing it's job.
The car is turbo only, not twin charged.
We are using the Garrett GT28RS turbo AKA "disco potato" real small turbo for fast spool up to get off the corners quicker.

This was our first time running in this series most of our pro competitors have been racing in this class 3 years +.

We had a special invitation to the finals & this was there series finals so we were honored with the opportunity to race our MINI with the 'best of the best' factory tuners.
This is why we & our sponsors are so pleased our top five unlimited front wheel drive class finish & MINI track record.
The factory teams like Scion that beat us were running much bigger 285-18 way bigger tires then we can currently cram under our little MINI & close to double our horsepower.

If sponsors decide they want us to compete in the 2009 Red Line time attack series, we will be adding box flairs on all corners & much larger tires to manage the crazy wheel spin.

They now know were serious & coming for the win, while blowing minds & records along the way in our little giant killer.
