There were 19 cars total (not all pictured, some were running while I did a few quick shots of what was in the "pits")

I have a few more videos I will try to get up on youtube tonight.

What a blast this was though, the car really just felt to be more alive than ever :firefire: , don't think anything broke either, just running a bit too rich, gotta re-jet the carb one of these days.

You look very good for your first time out. Did you have fun?

Definitely...the most fun you can have with a car under 35mph! ha The course today was a bit quicker than yesterday and it was two laps, so much fun.

I think I did get both courses down pretty quick, some people got lost a lot but those 2 cones on the last run were the only two I hit all weekend. Seems like as soon as I started there was nothin' on my mind but "hit the gates," I'm still so excited about it! lol :jump::seizure: Doesn't seem that fast in the video but driving, those gates come up quick hah. Can't wait for another one. Some people told me to go to a drift event I was breakin' loose so much on that last run but it was all extremely controlled. Haha, I'm excited!

Hey, great job getting your car out there! That looked like a pretty fun course. What group organized the autocross?

Loving the T/A with the T tops off. Did your helmet hit the glass? Was there a Brit there? I noticed the Jack painted on the Mini!

Thanks, I've watched your videos a few times and they're great!

I took the T-tops off just cause it was so hot and I don't have AC but my helmet would have probably hit (those Procar seats sit a little higher than stock), I did it first then everyone removed their tops/T-tops lol and there wasn't but there were a couple people there that built the Mini specifically for Auto-x'ing.

Thanks, it was put on by a local club -- Black Hills Sports Car Club but they told me it was either tied in with/had the same rules as the SCCA.
