So, this year at Avon, we'll have the following 'known' (going off the top finishers last year) rapid (on the quarter) turbo minis:

MiniMark
Giallofly
Jimster
TurboDale
Stuart Wright

Commonality: All on 10's

So come on you 12 & 13" wheeled lot, prove big wheels can kick ass!

EDIT: might bring along a set of 12" with 'used' falkens to see what my best time is with them!!!

AndyC is something special though - I've yet to see anyone launch a turbo mini with the smoothness he does... Shame he's not coming to Avon!

And Wil/Bens car is just a freak of nature! A 998 should never be that quick! LOL!!

Incidentally, is Wil/Bens mini the most powerfull 998 in the country, if not world????
Just a thought!

I agree I't shouldn't be that fast.

Probably not the fastest though, the mystical 8 port 998 turbo will surely kick my ass.

How weird, i always thought 13s by 175s should have the edge in grip, but the top runners all like dave said are on 10s?

I like my 10s as they are cheap and need to be at the rate one goes through them, as i'm sure the rest or you do as well LOL!
