Dude, that's some nice driving. Nothing to be embarrased about!!!



But ya, Minis aren't slow at all
Thanks so much---I just kept messin' up in the last complex under the bridge and coming on to the main straight. Also, still trying to learn the track. I'm excited about trying some new lines and different gears next season!

Lighter is righter on the track (about 300 lbs for the Mini).

If your top was up, you would have passed him!

Nice driving, what track is that?

-Pete
The track is Heartland Park Topeka

It's a pretty cool track with about 900 different configurations, haha. However, I still enjoy Texas World Speedway, back home in Tejas. If you're ever in the neighborhood, do an event there!

It doesn't help that the guy driving the mini won the solo nationals last year and was in the top 5 this year in GS. But I am with the others, mini's are quick and the new turbo mini's(like his) are even quiker. We'll get him next year!

Don't forget you're also dealing with front wheel drive. Around corners, he's able to push it a bit faster! I've seen K20 EKs go in corners like Buttonwillow a lot faster than 500+HP Vettes.
