Mini Mania Open House and Lawn Party
by Jerry (Siddhartha) Bradbury
What can transform a peaceful sylvan lawn in Gold Country into a carnival overnight? The annual Mini Mania Open House and Lawn Party of course! Those who were there got to see first hand all the eye candy, but for those who were not, the Mini's ranged from an electric Moke to a VTEC powered Classic, to Randy Steven's tricked out CVT to Robert Holt’s Purple Haze convertible to three full on Mini race cars: my sprint car, Jacques Andres' enduro car and Eric and Colin Herricks's rally car, and many in between.

Race Report -USTCC

Infineon Raceway, April 11, 2008.
by Jerry (Siddhartha) Bradbury
My Mini has a new setup for this race. Speed parts from my sponsor Mini Mania have been added by my sponsor Bay Bridge Motors and USTCC sponsor Nitto has provided four brand new NT 01 tires. This will be my first official race with the US Touring Car Championship and I look forward to hitting the grid with more horsepower and quicker lap times.

MINI Clubman Review

Published: 21st April 2008
The new MINI was launched in 2001, to much acclaim. Although bigger than the original Mini, what it lacked in rear legroom, it made up for in unusual styling and a vast array of personalisation elements, much loved by a local estate agent.

The MINI Clubman has the same raft of options but its main benefit is the extra length, which should make rear passengers happier.

Dear me, but this engine sure sounds like the one that was pushed in my face in 2006 for over $10,000 by a person badly in need of mouthwash or major dental care.  Must be another motor, sure, must be.  Either that or the downturn in the economy has also affected race motors.   I certainly hope not.

when I would pass people  at full 10 ,500 red line  after they would say   what the hell do you have in there ,   its sounded like nothing you have ever heard ,   To get 10,000 rpm plus   I used a special 76 mm crank  farinton? spelling ? made for me  , carrilo rods and special pistons ,  we spent tons of time on the head  , don sobering had lots of work in  it   I remember  he was flabergasyted when the head flowed 25.5 cfm , but to make the power I needed a big flow and very small combustion chamber in the head , I would plane them down till we were into the spark plug hole.  the suprising thing was how long they lasted , typicaly a full race 1300 will lass  a year or so if the driver  realy pushes,   the three engines i made   , and get this total bill for the three engines  was  70k,     but i ran them for 6 years  and only went through two engines, and won most races  , the moke ran against big iron  like mustanges and gt40's and won 58 percent of the  time and had a 85 percent podium record.

I think I'd pee my pants if I heard an A-series at 10,000rpm.  It'd either be pee or... oh..nevermind.

I hope 'ya find a buyer, Robert.  That's one helluva engine!

THAT IS A DEAL, but I don't have the money. It will sell for sure.

10,000 rpm? DAMN
