Could WERA get an hour on the Wilson Circuit for the mini race? I would show up just to run that. Seems like an easy addendum to the North track rental contract... I don't understand the allure of running minis on the full track though. It seems like you would get into top gear and then just keep it pinned, maybe rolling off a little for turn 3 at PIRC.
The allure generally hasn't been for the race itself. It's the LeMans style start, creative cheating, endless smack talk and money going to the AFF as the general allure.
