So I’ve been going to mini rod meet with matt, for the last few months, so I thought it was time to have a go.
Bought my self a blue Mini Cooper 1.6
Stripped out interior
Ordered a Full bolt in roll cage
Free advertising sun strip sticker
Loaded up ready for first race.
Lydden Hill Race circuit
As my daily driver was written off, No tow car. Mot doesn’t run out until next year,So rude not to, taxed and insured it. Hopefully nothing happens to it and I can drive back home
No bucket seats yet, but am looking around.
Harness was a eBay 40second left. Won it but turns out it was for a single seater, so a bit short. Matt said he used chain to extend the length of the harness. Got the ok from the event organiser
Lydden Hill race Circuit
Grid order pulled out of a hat
And yes I get pole position. Great first time driving the mini on a track, On a track that I don’t know.
Rolling start gone from pole to last, a bit more work needed.
2 more races didn’t go to bad, need to sort out some tyres and made it back home.
Great day out
Thanks Matt for your help today
Kit car not running right, and after all the trouble I’ve had with it, hedge/ body repairs, exhaust, bogging down,ECU, thought I’d have a break from it.
