Don't forget this is the busy part of the season guys. The next race is this Saturday at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
I put together a TBT post for last season's race if you're interested. http://miniracefan.com/2016/07/07/tb...ort-park-race/

I have! Last year I went to PBIR. It was my first track day and I loved it. I actually wrote about it here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...track-day.html

Those guys take some really good shots. Once in a while they get a great one. Glad you liked it.
A couple of notes about that shot. I am flat out at this point; foot to the floor and accelerating from there to the braking zone at the bus stop (actually acceleration starts with the exit of T1). The car has the stock sports suspension springs. Standing still there is about 1-1/5" of wheel gap to the fender. You can see how that gap has closed up with the g loads.

I know those are Fikse wheels, which they don't run anymore. But I'm not sure which ones. Looks like on of these:
FM/10
Profil 10

Ethan Low in car #37 was the fastest MINI and 3rd overall in practice 1 for Mosport. It was raining, which we know is good for the MINIs. Full practice results: http://miniracefan.com/2016/07/08/ca...-low-top-mini/

Good to see that the cars are all back together.....I stopped into the dealership here in Buffalo earlier this week for a couple oil filters and was shocked to see the LAP Motorsports trailer parked outside....went in the shop and there were all the cars being torn apart and serviced. One of the dealer techs (who crewed with the team at the Glen) said one of the motors had an overheating issue....

Yeah, the 37 was on a lift with the engine out and the entire front end off.....I took a good look The cars do use the full undertray when they run--I thought they would have taken it off. Front suspension looked pretty trick--KWs with adj levers for compression and rebound. They also had a stock JCW w/tuning kit there that they were using for lapping.

Track dried up for second practice, they got to 1:34

Qualifying is over and Two MINIs will start in the top 10! This is a good followup to last weeks great qualifying effort. It seems like they are getting more competitive every week.

These look great for sure, but they WILL NOT clear the JCW Brembos...btdt! Very pricey too! I spoke with the manufacturer last year about these.

Wow, great race!
And a respectable finish. Between the brakes and the slight power boost they seem to be competitive now. It will be fun to see them at Lime Rock at the end of the month.
Thanks for the link. I guess I had forgotten that they broadcast the races. We had a lot of fun watching
