Mini A-Series , BMW K Head, Wins LeMons w/Microsquirt

Post by twincam »

Despite having the second smallest engine in the field (other team car had the smallest engine) a Wolseley Hornet Mini with a BMC A-series engine block and a head transplanted from a BMW K1100 motorcycle took 1st in it's class and 18th overall at the Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, WA, USA. Fuel and ignition were controlled by a Microsquirt ECU. Never skipped a beat in 14 hours of racing, spread over 2 days. Article linked below gives an overview with pictures.

We we're parked next to you in the Porsche 931 also with microsquirt. Nice install and congrats on first in class.

Thanks. Not sure if it was you or one of your teammates who gave us some good suggestions on how to improve our enrichment settings. We haven't had a chance to follow up just yet but certainly will soon.
