It's similar to mine re dampers, but way softer springs. Also he seems to be a fan of oil changes. Noticed he runs same brake balance as me.

Little taller ride height too.

Yeah, that too. I do my gearbox way different too.
I don't like his negative toe at front though, but i may try his suspension setup just for fun on one of Minis and see if i can get into the 1:04's on Tsukuba.

104.s is definitely a goal for us at that track!!

Had me a couple of Yamaha RZ350s in my life, most favorite ride ever!

I'm on to my second Yamaha, too. Got my motorcycle license back in '07.

For those involved in Sick Cylinder's Sunday Classic Racing Series and also race with us, we will be featuring Sick's track selection as part of ours each week. The intent is to allow his racers to gain familiarity with the upcoming tracks when they race their Minis with us.

His September 21st track is: Silverstone International Circuit.

Short Intermission for drink/washroom/smoke etc.

Race 5: Matterhorn Riffelsee - 4 Laps
Race 6: Matterhorn Riffelsee - 4 Laps

Race 7: Cape Ring Periphery - 3 Laps
Race 8: Cape Ring Periphery - 3 Laps

As usual we will see if we want to run anymore after those...

Intervals between races will be approximately 5 minutes, manual start.

Default room settings (as per post #1) with the addition of Driving Line Aid for the newcomers.
Room will be limited to 16 racers.
This will be a Public Room.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Remember, keep it clean!

Thanks
Mik

We were testing Silverstone International and decided 5 laps are better. 👍

Matterhorn is going to be a hoot!

 

[danielholmer]

Is anyone interested in doing some races Saturday September 13?

Sorry I missed the fun. I saw you guys were out there, but had some things to get done before my wife got home. Got to keep the "Team Owner" happy so I can race more later.

I did get out later and try Praiano's tune and as we are all prone to do, I modified it slightly for me. I eventually got down to a 1:30.094 in my back-up Mini sporting my favorite color in the game, Reflex Spice. Now to add the modified Praiano tune to my Blue Mini too.

I can't wait to see a full field of Mini's on Riffelsee.

Here's a nice painting that looks like us in the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca. #20 is Dale Shore, a really fast Mini guy. The Flying Pumpkin, #311, is Graham Reid, owner of Heritage Garage in Costa Mesa, Calif. and the builder of my Mini's 1310cc engine and tranny in 2004 when I first got it.

Actually these cars depicted are real life racers and most are happy customers of Graham. You can see the Heritage windshield banners on the orange, yellow and red cars. I'm not sure about the white and green Mini's. Don't know about Dale Shore's car except he and it are fast and smooth. I believe this was painted by a Los Angeles area member of MOALA (Mini Owners of America, Los Angeles) so all cars may be Southern California based. I can't make out the artist's name in the lower right, but he has done some great Mini art and may be online somewhere.

I demand a teardown! That is not a 435PP/135HP Mini.

 

[MRTeam]

That is a 434 PP/134 HP Mini.

Either that or a great photoshop picture. 👍

Here are some images from our last few races.

 

[MRTeam]

Awesome pictures.
Everyone one of them. 👍
A picture is worth a thousand Mini's. Something like that. I forget.

Logan was that "2 wheeler" near the beginning of the replay, I couldn't find it?

Also loving that chrome paint! 👍
