2009 MINI competition classes for Bonneville

Monday, March 16th, 2009

These are the 4 classes for MINIs for the ‘09 Assault of the flats.

Class 1. Stock MINI (non s) models
Allowed modifications are a cold air intake and an aftermarket exhaust.

Class 2. Modified MINIs (non S) models
Any mods other than those listed above such as header, cam, injectors, etc.

Class 3. Production MINI Cooper S
Mods allowed are cold air intake, exhaust, and supercharger pulley up to 15%

Class 4. Modified MINI Cooper S
Anything beyond class 3 mods such as cam, header, injectors, custom intercoolers, etc.

All classes may use any tires and wheels, any suspension mods, bigger brakes, etc. as these have no bearing on the straight line runs we’ll be making.

New Classes for MINIs in ‘09

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Many of you have read about what it took to get 3 MINIs over the 130 MPH mark at Bonneville and don’t think you want to spend the time and money just for a little fun.

We agree with you, so the Fantasy Racing Team will sponsor various classes for stock MINIs, both “S” models and non-S cars.  This way more cars have an opportunity to compete against each other for trophies, not just the 130 MPH mark.

We’re trying to get more cars to participate and I think that with the chance to win something (regardless of whether or not you can get to 130) might be incentive enough to get more cars to enjoy the experience.

Stay tuned for details!
