This weekend - if you are in the South or South East, this is going to be massive. Great racing (guaranteed) and lots of Mini clubs in attendance.

Well that was a wonderful day. Very special thanks to Hunky Harvey Death for our VIP passes and also special thanks to my toy boy naughty Nick Swift, Swiftune for cakes and wine!!!
Wonderful to see Peter Baldwin and Patrick Watts who many years ago drove my beloved 1380 Swiftune Mini around the Brands GP track.
How good it was to see big grids with very close racing, so much better than F1.

i had a pretty good weekend - the car broke a valve spring in the race which was a shame, so my bro did 30 min with no revs or power, we did actually finish, but where not placed.  motors out now and ready for a rebuild!

More straightline beans required isnt that always the case!!!! mine makes around 85bhp, the 1293's will make about 100-120 mine is about 30kg lighter though, so it all balances out. i had spent a lot of time corner weighting it and really tweeking the suspension, so it handled like a joy. gutted it broke, i think we could have made a few places up
