Good racing, in any case. I tortured myself by running the M04. Fast car in the straights, but squirrely as heck in the corners.

I hear we needed a camera at the end of the straight.....something about a massive wreck.....with a wheel flying 4 feet in the air.......gotta love those Mini's!!!!!

[monkeyracing]

I deny any involvement in the afformentioned crashiness. I was out of the country at the time. Really.

BTW: Ivan, my FWD car is back together, and I'm coming for you!

Darn! I just ordered some from Singapore.

[xrayroooahhhh]

Even after a long day at the DTP race Saturday.....everyone will have their Mini's up and running......so I hope all you Mini racers....come down to HHills arena for some Sunday night racing!!!

Maybe Jim can perform some more syncronized Mini jumping!!!!

See you all Friday night or Saturday.....

[xrayroooahhhh]

I'll just keep this thread going instead of starting another one Jim.......so yes....racing is on this Sunday......I will get Brad to let me know the exact dates to update this site!!!! Later,

Just looking for an update on the Karz schedule, and updating you as well.

Sunday, June 29. I think I've got a b-day party to go to that evening. I'll have to check on what hours it happens.

Sunday, July 13. I'll be on my way home from a car show in Lethbridge that evening.

[xrayroooahhhh]

Brad's mighty mini saw the wall, and kicked it's butt!

[bgreenslade]

And this was my second major mishap of the night. You would think this car would break at some point. It just keeps going.

Even after the wreck I still managed to place 2nd in the main behind the almighty yellow and black Ivan mini.

Next week I'll pull out the secret weapon to take the main away from Ivan

[monkeyracing]

...and I'll be back with my FWD car. I just couldn't get my RWD to handle properly, or at least not hook to the right at top speed.

My apologies if anyone happened to notice (how could you not?) that I got kind of cranky upon my repeated crashiness.

Jim,
I'm not sure why, but that phrase made me laugh !
Ivan the top dog is he?
It'd take me about an hour to get there, but me thinks I need to come up and have some mini fun !

[stulec52]

oh, and I was in PM last Friday, they had lots more tires in stock !

[BoneCrusher]

The addition of an extra roll of carpet is awesome. So much more room!

Great pictures Jim! You missed the one when Brad's car was stuck partly in the white drain pipe. That was funny! And Brad...that's yellow, black and DUCK tape silver okay?

Ivan is not top dog. Ivan is just having fun and winning by attrition. Remember world of wheels Stu??? But looking forward to seeing you there and you'll definitely have fun!
