2004 WRX (Stage 1) vs. R53 MCS (modded)
Tags: motor sport Streets of Willow Springs open track day HPDE Subaru Impreza WRX Sedan R53 MINI Cooper
Length: 8:51
Description: This is video footage of a FUN tussle I had with a modded R53 MINI Cooper S at the Streets of Willow Springs on April 18, 2008.
I didn't get a chance to talk to the driver of the MCS. When I walked by the car in the paddock, I noticed the car was riding on a set of Nitto NT-01 race compound tires.
UPDATE: May 27, 2008 - The driver of the 2002 MINI Cooper S, Joe Drey, crashed at Willow Springs International Raceway on the 24th. He died as a result of the injuries he sustained. May God be with him and his family.

There's a lot of wind noise because the organization running the track day required all windows to be down to minimize the amount of glass that would shatter in the event of a rollover.
