I went autocross for the first time this past weekend with the C.A.R.T. group in Connecticut. There were 90 some odd people entered for the day.

I have a 2002 MCS, stock 16" wheels with the stock run-flat tires. No performance mods other than changing to an aftermarket panel filter, and tire pressure adjustment.

I was the fastest MINI on the day, I was also the only MINI there that day

I made 5 timed runs, in the XN class, and brought my time down on each run. In the end I had reduced my time by 10%. From 66.? seconds down to 59.? seconds. I was plenty happy.

This could be addicting
