RMW and Maitland Importers smash Road Atlanta record
After seeing Ian at Barber he has a way to go without worrying about finding a helmet
I'm more worried about his man bearings shrinking!!
After 4.5 years of observing Ian driving my cars I don't think his man bearings are at risk.
Peter
glad to see we are ok on that front
did you get the P car back together? I hear there is some goodies waiting to make it as fast as the Mini
without any more mods. Something about a 30 to 40 mph higher speed on the straights will do that to you
Peter
Awesome stuff Jan. I'm glad you got to enjoy Puerto Rico, sorry about the sunburn though. I know from experience how much it stings
Thanks again for taking a day off from vacation to tune our cars
, wish I could have stayed longer to watch the rest.
Man, watching that MINI fly through Road Atlanta is insane. Ian definitely has some serious skills

PR was great hope to come back soon
Ian's the man
Jan,
Not to hijack this thread, but I got an 07 R56 MCS with all major JCW kits on it and I have got the track bug real bad. What mods would you recommend for this car to turn it into a more capable track car? How much gain would an intercooler and a tune provide? I am also working on improving my driving skills at the same time. I would like to terrorize more powerful cars on the track, just like Ian does!!!

I've seriously considered adding a flamethrower kit to Blimey. Seriously. Because that's how I ride.

I race over in SCCA in showroom stock, in fact if they give the mini some of the goodies they are talking about I might build one. This being the shop car I can't put a cage in it. Down in florida region the TT classes are a bit more subscribed too. We regularly end up with more then enough cars to win tires.

We got some good testing during the practice Sat morning and found a pretty neat item that yielded a very unexpected result. I'm compiling the data so Jan can share with all!
