I'll post a picture tommorrow,(on mini2, but i'll post the link, I can't work it out here) it's very simple and easy to make. tried it and works well, but i'm going to make it a bit stiffer, a little to bouncy at the moment.
it mounts on the subframe ( think towbar, but a lot slimmer about 2mm thick) and extends to the rear bumber which is where the camera mounts so it doesn't pretrude past the car.

If you are from Sydney/Bathurst/Orange, or somewhere nearby, and you don't want to pay for the whole event (I still reckon it's very good value, but that's not the point of this post) but you would like to come up on the Saturday to have a look at the Minis, you can even bring your Mini and park it with the others at the showgrounds - and it won't cost you a thing (except petrol and lunch, but that's up to you).

That's right all Minis that come up on the saturday can park in the showgrounds at the Mini show and shine free of charge.

Now, before people who are doing the whole event complain, remember what you are getting for your money - dinner, BBQ, show, access to the race track for four days, lap of the track on Sunday morning, and entry to the museum - still damn good value.

Bob Holden is a defenite, and there are other former Mini drivers planned.

I've seen the itinerary for the weekend and the Minis are still a go on the track (crashes innthe previous race not withstanding). The tribute to Brock will not take the place of the Minis, as some people have feared, so it all looks good. We'll get to see the Minis, the Group C cars, and a feast of ex-Brock cars, and some sort of funny V8 race cars doing 161 laps.

Cheers,
Watto.

I thought the minis were going to do 161 parade laps
Why stop at one

What sort of oil are you running in the dash pots???

Maybe too thick if the carbies are taking their time to respond to the throttle??

One of the little tricks I picked up when I was racing at Bathurst is that the altitude makes a difference to how you tune your car. You can have a car that pings at Oran Park and it will run sweet at Bathurst. You might be able to run a little more advance as well.
But you will be in a procession and it won't matter how it runs because there will be some bugger in front of you anyway!

Thats what I'm hoping for so I can mount my camera mount on their car.

Steve from Brickworks racing is going to tune it for me either on Wednesday avro or Thursday morning
