If anyone is in the RI area then please stop in at INSKIP Mini in Warwick RI and check out my Mini on display. I designed and built this car myself and it's quite fast

Come make my sponsor happy.

More pics and info if anyone is interested. I'll post them here.

You are the guy that help Jason R(from vt) fix up his mini after his off track encounter? You do good work. That thing looks pretty damn mean. What size tires you running under those big fenders?

Thanks for the comments.

Eddie, thanks, those were my design and are one offs at this point. Hope to be building molds soon. Luke, car, wet, without driver is very close to 2K lbs. I know that I could get a sub 2K car next time around, ... if anyone is interested. Volks', yes car was built as a full out race car and not 'for display only' I was only able to make one race last season due to the car being ready only then. Qualified pole in all classes. So, the car is very fast. I was having head issues (mine and my cars) during this time and the car finaly gave out while leaving the grid for the actual race. Sachilles, yes, that's me. I'm hoping Jason will continue with his car and eventually make it race ready. He's a great driver.

Here is one of my sponsors, Bentley Publishings, blogs on the car. Might answer some questions and also some good pictures

as much as I want to hate the baby blue accenting, I can't LOL. It looks really good. Really clean and really agressive at the same time. Nicely done!

Ooh. Neat. If I'm doing Christmas shopping in that area, I'll have to drop in and check it out.

Very cool.

Nice car! I just watched the video from one of those links of you at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. YIkes! How slow is that corner that leads you outside the oval? it seems like you're absolutely crawling, and that in a car that looked seriously quick anywhere else..

How did you mount the splitter and what did you make it out of. And if you dont mind some more photos of it and how it mounts would be greatly appreciated!

Great looking car!!! I really like the flairs. They have that 80's look that I love!!

All the more amusing if you know the car was originally black.

Looks great Greg!

WOW! I bet if you got 50 or 60 detailed hi res photos and a detailed spec sheet as well as a story of the build up and submit it to the editors I bet it would be well recieved.

Thanks all for the nice feedback.

Don't even know where to start with pictures. I had approched GRM about a write up but it went no where. I was too busy getting it on the track.

Yes Ian, car used to be Black, ... I miss it a LOT.

Few more pictures.

You'll need to log in to post.
