So it was Rachel's car Nick Swift was driving ?

I just found the video on another site.
There wasn't any story or pictures of the outside of the car, but the track looks like fun, and the sound of the engine.............. Just like my car. ( Not :D )

Unconfirmed - but your man Nick came second, besting everyone except the Huffaker car, a tube framed rear engine monster barely from the Mini gene pool.
I can't wait to see the video of Nick's drive.

Hi guys,

We arrived back late last night, after an amazing race weekend. Nick did indeed finish 2nd overall - fantastic result for his first time in the car and on the track at Mid-Ohio! Nick put in a brilliant drive in the feature race, besting all but Joe Huffaker's Mini.

"129 LNP" also won "People's Choice race Mini" of the event and performed exceptionally well with only a few minor tweaks required all weekend. Over 50 members of Charlie's family, as well as Bob Kimes family, all came to the track to watch the car race, a huge honor for us.

Here are the full results of the feature race:

Sadly I have to work (!) today, so no time for a full update on the event. Will do that soon :D
