Mike,

I did last year in the hope of getting "stress relief". Being ultra-competitive, it ended up being more "stress" than "relief". That Mini is a blast, 1380cc Swiftune engine, twin 1.5" SUs, SW5 cam, 1.5 roller rockers, LSD, 5 speed Jack Knight straight cut tranny, carbon fiber hood and trunk, 10" slicks, trick suspension, etc.
This year, I'm just tracking the Cobra and the GT40. Maybe a time trial or two. No wheel to wheel racing for me lest I break out with colitis and/or psoriasis!
