Can't think that far ahead mate, So can we have a road weight class this year for cars that are factory weight? to give us fattys a chance!

Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph
First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on a carb?
First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on Injection?

It would be interested to get all cars up to the same weight to see what times we all got, say 800kgs with driver?

I'm really gonna try to get to this and mitp with the 7 port this year!

The next engine is built, i am in the process of sorting out the gearbox.

then it can go in.

it really does sound like avonpark has lost the 'spark' that it use to have a few years ago, is MITP the one to get ready for these days?

I think MITP is a better "show" as the support of traders/clubs has diminished at avon over the past few years - no dodgems in 08-very poor! saying that neither strip is run as well as it should be for being mini only events - I think both are still on the calender this year for me- if the pod put up proper classes like road weight cars as Matt is talking about would swing the balance!

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

I'll be there with the car this year.

Class B for me this time so will be interesting to see how I get on. I will just be happy to get into the low 15s, as I was in the mid 16s with the 1400 with slightly less power and not anywhere near as long legs

That 3.76 FD really let me down in the low reving 1400 as I had an extra gear change before I hit 60mph!!!!!!!

Also depends on whether I get the gas fitted and whether That Hollins chap sorts his act out!

if there was a class for full road weight mini's then wouldnt a super light weight mini (say in the 400'skg) with alot of weights over the front wheels to make it back up to full weight clean up?
the extra weight up front aiding off-the-line traction but the over all weight being the same?

Yes i moved to the darkside

Personally I think MITP is crap. Road cars in the same class as Carls twini. OK carls put in the effort to win and fairplay to him but some people running a 1380 daily driver aint got a chance

Paul

I seriously doubt it!

-as I said in my post if they sorted the classes out properly - unlike Avon - then it would be a better giggle, it wouldn't take someone with too much intelligance to sort it surely?

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

So will MITP have the biggest TM turnout this year? Myself and PaulH plan on making one event so we want to make it the best one

I think you'll be pushed to beat Avon for TM turnout - but MITP was impressive from the guys last year

come to both!

PaulH hows that TT K going?

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

Paul's TT isn't progressing as well as it should since we are building a couple of 12G940 headed 998s and my turbo is still causing problems

awww i really wana be at avon park this year!!!

was hoping to make it last year but whenever u set a deadline it never happens...lol

but this year i should be there with mine along with nathan dobsons!!!!

i think minimag are looked upon as just mug to attract cars to another POD rung what you brung,

POD arn't interested in classes for us silly mini drivers, they would rather stick there tounges down the back of the trousers of a gang of ricer drivers at thye USC,

come to think of it neither is Avon Park, its all about bums on seats and cars signed on,
or in other words MONEY,

But dont wore we are hopeing to get back on track very soon.
