Lets go for a spin! Those cars are awesome.

I don't know if the wife will let me commute all the way from CT Mike! But that sounds like a sweet race. :thumbsup:

Mike do you have bodies you have to run?

SCH has updated the Points series for the Stock Sedan class only.

We have decided to combine the Mini-Cooper series and stock sedan classes to spice up the competition a little bit. Here is the basic information:
• Points Series for Stock Sedan will be from April 9 thru May 14th (six weeks)
• Winner of this series will win a REAL Mini-Cooper for 1 week. (Arrangements through Mini of Pittsburgh)
• Second Place will win a Guardian Security System by Safe N' Sound
• Third and Forth Place will win Steelers Training Camp VIP passes. - TBD

What you will need to do:
Purchase a Stock Hand-Out motor - $25.00
Run "Mini" graphics on your sedan body - $5 or 6 bucks
Mini-Cooper body - no longer required due to unavailability

But wait, there is more! That will come later... for complete schedule info:

Further Notes:
With purchase of hand-out motor – you will now no longer be required to “turn-in” the motor(s) at the end of the day. They are yours to keep. You will be able to purchase these motors for $25 during the whole series. After the series the price goes back to retail, which is around $40. These are Trinity Monster Motors specifically sent to SCH for this series.

Just a friendly reminder!
The Mini-Cooper series starts this Saturday and runs for six weeks. YOu must purchase a stock hand-out motor from the shop along with some stickers. Special series price on the motor - can't touch it anywhere.
Winner takes home a real car like the one below.

Mike,

What's the stock motor for the mini cooper race? I only saw 19t, fixed and adjustable timing motors in the case. I thought stock sedan was 27t, 24 degree roar motor. What's up with that?

We have 2 handout motors from Trinity - NOT the ones for the Mini-Series. 50 of the Trinity Monster Pro Stock handout motors should be in this week (we hope). Trinity sent the wrong ones twice but we kept a few of the 19T motors and are selling them cheaper than anywhere. Right now we have 100 total between the two, but plan to send back most of them.
