We had four very hot racing Minis at our ~VRG~ vintage races at Watkins Glen last weekend. I started 5th (behind all of them and next to a Porsche 356) in our Saturday Small Bore Race, but could not keep up with them.....they were like 4 little buzzy bees (all with much more radical 1275 engines than my Spridget).
You can see them coming by in ~this 18 second clip of the pace lap~ (with me and the 356 following).
Later on, during a very rainy session, I finished third behind two of them, having a great 10 lap race with Mack M (#109) who beat me in a drag race to the checker by about 4 feet (sadly not recorded because the heavy rain shut down my in-car Flip camera).
You can see all the photos and videos from the event ~HERE~.
