Mini paint
What a great day of racing Sunday was. Thanks to everyone that came out for our Sunday program.
Mini cooper didn't work so well in the main but still had a blast.

Dave,
I still think you need to paint the mini "JLo-mobile" in your signature "lipstick red".

Sign me up for Mini Cooper on Sunday, silver can TCS style!
Also still have those two Mini bodies for sale- one Suzuki Swift (fits medium M03 or M05) and one Alfa GT (fits M04, M06 and medium M05, does NOT fit M03). Both new in the bag with all decals, plastic parts, etc. Just trying to get enough out of them to buy a new Mini Cooper S body and some paint.
Finally, have a super duper Tamiya TA04R with a buttload of options, ideal for GT3 silver can (I don't think it's possible to come up with a gearing combination to run 21.5). It's fast and smooth and sorted out (I finished second last time around against the 21.5 guys running X-Rays), so a good ride for upcoming TCS. Has an HPI NSX on it right now for practice, but Tamiya bodies are out there to fit. I'll bring it with me this Sunday if anyone is interested.

Matt- RPM limit for TCS is 18750 @ 7.2 volts.
Basically out of the box with a decent break-in.
15K's and Full Race motors are definitely too fast.
Hope to see you on Sunday!

Mike, the coliseum is carpeted with CRC HD carpet now. Tamiya USA got rid of the ff03 specific class, however we are offering an exhibition class that will allow ff03 and any other silver can car and experienced driver. This class is not to be mistaken for gt-3 which is for drivers with less experience.
