I will be attending the GRAND-AM race at Daytona this weekend to support RSR Motorsports. We've organized a 50-car MINI Corral with sponsorship from Orlando MINI.

I posted an article to my Library of Motoring website about the upcoming race:

RSR Motorsports adds a Honda to their three MINIs

 

I'll be there as well! First time attending this event...

 

RSR fans are always welcome!!

 

I'm told by a RELIABLE SOURCE that the 197 car will return as a MINI @ the Barber race in March.

 

Interested in seeing the broadcast this weekend as I missed the accident in the tri-oval...

 

Sunshine MINIs brought about 50 MINIs to the race for a MINI Car Corral sponsored by Orlando MINI.

I heard Randy say that the Honda was only temporary to fulfill driver commitments.

Here's my short write-up and photos: RSR Motorsports at Daytona Recap

 

Lineup for the next race @ Homestead-Miami next Saturday (4/28) is as follows:

195 MINI – Mark Congleton and Chris Puskar
196 MINI – Ron Farmer and Jason Hart
197 Honda – Randy Smalley and Owen Trinkler
198 MINI – Cory Fergus and Kyle Gimple

 

Homestead Race Results:

Not a good weekend for RSR!

Got rained on ... although it stopped later in the race.

195 Car finished 20th in class - after a penalty for "avoidable contact" and another one for leaving the pits with the rear hatch open (fortunately he didn't take the fueler with him when he pulled away)

196 Car finished 23rd.

198 Car lost oil pressure on Lap 15 and got parked - 36th in class.

As for the 197 Car [Honda Civic] - fastest in practice. Was in 3rd when one of the rear hubs broke (on lap 45)! Fixed and back out on the track - but ended up 28th.

The New Jersey Race is in two weeks (May 12th @ 3:15 PM).

 

Thanks for the run down. I was wondering what happened to all of the MINI. Better luck next time.

 

What's up with the Grand Am website? It doesn't show any times from any of the practice or Quali sessions.....

Stinks!

 

Looking good for RSR in practice!!

 

Pole for RSR! But in a Honda....

 

WIN (3 years in a row @ NJ) for RSR!! But in a Honda ...
