Non Porsche - First Motorsport Event of the Year Cooper S

Post by 912Flyer »

Morning had an enjoyable Saturday at Prescott competing in my 66 Mini Cooper S.

I am in the dark green car No.74 excuse the Chumley Warner presenter as he had no idea on anything other than Bugatti's.

Hope you enjoy.

Been a good few times to Prescott Hill climb and been up the hill in a couple of my Porkers and a Caterham I owned.
Great fun but was always over too quickly.
Looks great fun in an original mini and yours looked quick.

Saw you on livestream!
One of my near hill climb class mates over several years I'd Derek Kessler in his Maguire Mini.
What a cracker of a car that is.

After Loton, Prescott is my fav hill and suits the Lola well.
If I could Rev 1000 rpm more I could do the whole hill in second after the start... :)

Quite a lot of ddk'rs actually race!

Cheers enjoyed it, next run will hopefully be at Shelsley at the Classic Nostalgia.

Got my first circuit race coming up on the 13th June in a Historic F3 500 at Mallory which is going to be a new experience for me.

I was there in my 63 Cooper as well.

Was a fun day...slightly disjointed and a bit too much hanging around with the filming that took place over lunchtime but at least they gave us an extra run to make up for it!

Interesting conditions throughout the day but the cross plies loved it! Not sure it replaces circuit racing for me but Prescott is fabulous.
