[Hartge220]

Well done guy's, some good times there

Hope the weather held out for you, it was off & on rain here (Epsom) most of the day.

Any idea of the quickest time by a Mini ?

[Paul@1320]

Same at Shakey as well today, the times were all from yesterday.

By a BMW Mini is 10.62@133

Old Mini RWD is 9.7@136

[Hartge220]

Blimey !! Thats quick

Are they street or strip only ?

RWD classic sounds interesting

[Paul@1320]

Hubie is strip only (new mini)

Stuarts drives on the street in Essex and is road legal

[Bhozar]

Neeeed more power!

Or, I need to learn how to do drag racing better.

Was a lot of fun and its always fun giving 1320 and Lohen some grief ;D

[BRMCooper]

Lohen didn't run any of their cars this weekend

[Paul@1320]

I think Bhozer was referring to verbal grief, it was lucky Roland didnt turn up otherwise he would of cruised into first position and Bhozer would of been trophyless.

Didn't know whether to pick up your trophy Bhozer but I'm sure if you ask them nicely they'll take it to Mini in the Park for you.

Probably a good job Adam didnt turn up from MiniMania either. That Opcon supercharged car of his might even you a run for your money Paul.

Oh wow, I didnt know there was a trophy

And yes, I love giving a bit of verbal grief when I get the stick back from the guys too! always a bit of a hoot. I think next year a few of us might camp over the weekend, despite us being local. Hopefully it will be sunny on both days!

I currently look like Zoidburg from Futurama. So sunburnt, but only on one side of my face from the queue. Was 24C all afternoon.

[Ant FR]

ooohhh mini in the park, i think i might come up for this, a bit of RWYB action sounds fun, have'nt taken the Mini up now its all GTT 230'sd up, last time was standard.

Are there many new minis at Mini in the park as when i looked on the website it looked mainly for classics

[Paul@1320]

Last year when it was at Oxford in grounds of a stately home so there was quite a few, but I'm not sure whether people will still want to go as much as now the venue is at Santa Pod.

There's a Peak Performance day on the Friday, a RWYB on the Saturday, and then Mini in the Park on the Sunday so there is a good chance to wear your car out over the weekend, but the nice thing is loads of seat time and loads of time to test new ideas / products.

[Paul@1320]

I should mention this before I forget, the competion for Mini Showdown is on the Sunday only but due to the whether they took the times from Saturday.
