Hi All:
Thought that some of you might enjoy a video I have posted, since it involves a lot of Mini footage. The Mini in question belongs to my old pal, Bruce Whipple and the video shows us during practice for an EMRA Sprint race at Summit Point, West Virginia in Nov 2006. Bruce's car is a '61 (dr y suspension)with a 1275 engine, a single H4 carb and a Metro camshaft. Cooper S disk brakes are fitted and it has all the racecar stuff such as a full cage, fuel cell, harnesses, etc. It's also street legal (he also has a red Mini street car and up until a while ago, he had a new MINI as well (replaced by a BMW wagon).
The camera is mounted high on the roll bar of my #11 Spridget. The vid is about 5 minutes long.
Early on you can also spot Pete M's orange '62 Sprite. I co-drove that car late that day in the 4-Hour Twilight Enduro.
There is some pretty good shots of me passing Bruce and visa-versa. Also, some decent action, especially when the Entropy Racing Renault sport racers try to get past a pack of us slower cars in the Wagon Bend.
You may also spot the blue and orange TR-250 (followed by a while BMW).
And plenty of those wretched Miatas!
