Moroso Motorsports Park

Just got back from a fun time at the Moroso Driving School put on by PBOC Florida. Mini proved itself to be formidable little opponent to the many drivers out testing their cars. Moroso is a great track for the Mini with it's many tight turns. Mini could use some better tread as well as a limited slip differential. Brakes could also help but I found another interesting way to scrub off speed when coming into corners a little hot. Just throw your trusty little Mini sideways and you'll have that speed knocked off in no time!


Out terrorizing the track on my own


Giving a student a joy ride that left him uneasy on his legs!

Thanks to Digital Event Photography for selling me these photos and for being at the track. I completely forgot the cameras! They offer a discount to BMW CCA members too!

Moroso

I'm in the UK , but have raced a Moroso in Classic Sports Cars races as a paid driver using a Morgan , TVR, and a couple of AC's etc

Great track , spoilt at that stage, by some pretty stupid new Club racing rules(7/8 years ago), applied by your racing authorities in the USA....no overtaking on corners... which is a good one, if you run a good handling , underpowered car !!! , I would hope this doesn't still apply.

I raced and rallied Cooper's in the '60 and '70 and the only way to go round any corners at tracks in the such as Mallory Park, or Snetterton was to flick the wheel and get it going sideways....glad to hear nothing changes:p:p
