I took a crack at this earlier today, was 18 seconds off bronze with our Mini, don't think she can do it.

18 seconds is a lot to lose! I'll have a go.

I'm sure you've got that results table upside down!

I'm sure you've got that results table upside down!

I was wondering how we ended up at the bottom too!

I've had that happen to me once before too, I was in a tight battle at Suzuka at the time.
I now turn the volume up & down 1 click between races. For a full on endurance race I would disable the feature but there has been no need recently.

Race Agenda has been updated for this coming Wednesday at Post #4

We are going to try and get a group photo again at Sierra, hopefully we have a stable room this week!

Saturday seemed very stable on the PD servers, not one single problem all evening/night so yes hopefully this will continue throughout next week. 👍

That's my engine builder, Graham Reid. Haven't had the need for ordering any parts recently, but if I place an order before 2PM, I will get the shipment the next day here in the Santa Barbara area. Very cool guys and very efficient.

Great pictures too. Thanks Mik.

Good to know if at some point in the near future I'm able to pickup a Mini.

If you or anyone else is interested in seeing what you can buy in North America, go to MiniMania website and click on "Social" and check out the cars for sale. I found "Alice Cooper" there in 2004.

Maybe you could pickup a Mini Pick-up.

But seriously, though. Any Mini is better than no Mini, but don't expect to get 135 hp from the original BMC A-Series engine.

Or a nice Woody wagon. Or a Limo. Or a mini Mini.

I've spent many an hour drooling over listings on MiniMania, lol.

It's us!

the proper way to drive a mini:

Room Closed.

Thanks everyone for coming out, and for putting up with the extended screwing around at Sierra for the photo op.

I'll try and get some decent pics.

 

[buybon355]

Great sport tonight, pictures should be good

 

[SmileyWRX]

Great event again Mik. Full room was so nice to attack from behind

Should be Wednesday twice a week

I watched the replay of Sierra and unfortunately there was never a perfect moment where all cars were "un-ghosted".
Just before we all took off at around 14:00 Pimiki was still being a ghost at the rear of the pack.
Depending on the angle though it doesn't really matter, you can only just make it out.

Yeah, I watched it too. I took a bunch of pictures anyway, I'll post when I get a chance.

I'll use something from Sierra for the thread header anyway, since everyone took the time to indulge me.

 

[JockeP22]

My take on it;

Got a little crowded down there.

 

[MRTeam]

I wish I wasn't so busy.
So keep the pictures coming. I can pretend I'm racing with you guys. .

 

[gkgamer]

sorry I couldn't join

Great fun races last night and it was hilarious when trying to get all the cars in position at Sierra without gosting

I got one I think I can use for the thread header, I'll post it when I get home from work.

Got some other not bad pics from Sierra also.

I know, I was laughing while watching the replay.
