Jan2022 WHP East Sunday ST Race
NASA AZ Super Touring Race - #00 ST4 MINI Cooper S - Ricky Johnson
First race of the 2022 NASA AZ Season - 1st place both days in class and a 6th and a 4th overall! Good to get back in the car after 9 months!! I had some great racing with Sean Shepard and Brian Turner who run in ST3 - I try my best to not get in the way of their race or anyone else's but I like to think they welcome me has a honorary ST3 member and treat me like any other competitor. Great weekend with the Racetechnik crew and Jerry Arias of Eurotechs - AZ are masters keeping this MINI running for 17 straight seasons!! www.racetechnik.com and www.EuroTechsAZ.com for all your car needs - if you are tired of paying dealer prices and dealing with service wait times or just want to improve the performance of your stable - these are the go to guys!

2003 MINI Cooper S #00 - Owner/Driver: Ricky Johnson Playing with the Big Bore race group (because I can!) - key highlights - watch John Bianchi at the 3:00 minute mark lose his brakes and have a narrow miss. Also watch from the 4:28 mark and see the red Firebird almost slam into the side of me - luckily from watching his driving, I figured he would try to throw himself back on course after los...

Had a great start in the Qualifying race and went from 10th to 2nd and then 1st after the class leader got taken out in Turn 11 by an out of class car with no brakes. Race was red flagged (stopped) and the race did not count as two drivers were injured and taken to the hospital

NO ABS - so you see me braking early and coasting into the corners. Won the GTS3 race by 38 seconds in a 30-minute race. Great track and lot of fun - very technical.

2018 NASA AZ Big Bore Race - GTS3 class. Old tires and broken front left shock top. Was just going to do a timed lap, but the pace was so low, I decided to do an extra lap and get to the leader after starting 5 lengths back from the back of the pack.

2017 NASA WSC Championship Race from the #00 - MINI Cooper S - Ricky Johnson. Crew: Race Technik It was a very frustrating week as we were chasing a power/tuning issue and the throttle kept cutting out at random places on the track. We thought we had it fixed on Sunday, but it still showed up again in the race (you'll hear it about 8 minutes into the race and onwards). I started 9th since we we...

    • @Panadeeni

      Thanks Jorge!! Yes - we top out at around 135 mph. I've got lots of advice - T1 - brake late on the uphill (not sure of your brake setup but use the hill to your advantage). T2 and T3 are fast as you can take them and I short shift up to carry more speed. Downshift and slow for T6. T8 exit stay right and cut T9 as much as possible to carry speed down to T11. I drop to second gear at T13. Carry a lot of speed through T16 - T18 you can carry a lot of speed here with throttle modulation. Don't over do entry to T19 or you will be out of shape and too far right (some folks go off track right at T19 - but I haven't found that to be the fast line for FWD cars). T20 - slow in, fast out to maximize T1! Have a great time - we have some folks from AZ heading to COTA - introduce yourself to them and say Hi! They are great folks who would love to meet you!!

    @Ricky Johnson This mini r53 is fantastically fast. Excellent driving helps too. On your 2016 Circuit of the Americas track vid, you mentioned it is 260 whp. RMW uses that video on their website. What are the specs of this car? Engine, suspension, brakes, tires (at least the main components used)? Still 260 whp today or more now? Do you ever make it out to Arizona Motorsports Park for the NASA events out there by any chance?

      Yeah - you see me on the radio button right after it happened - I told the crew they are going to throw a red flag. Horrible crash - car behind has lost their brakes - and that's a pretty fast section and hard braking zone...but glad everyone is ok now.

      +Kilpatrick Racing Make it happen! It was worth it. I wasn't sure bringing the MINI would be much fun as COTA is known as a high horsepower track. I WAS SO WRONG - the MINI was a blast and a ton of fun to play with all the high HP cars in the fast turns. Yeah, it sucks on the straights, but when you threshold brake right back up to the pack and do it again - IT WAS WORTH THE TRIP! :)

    Good driving on both drivers parts, I was sitting in the stands and saw that the Blue GT3 cup car was stuck in the middle of the straight and could not get in reverse, and there was not enough room to make a full 180 degree turn, causing the driver to have to drive backwards, hats off to both drivers.

    Thanks! I see you are in Japan - do you live there now and drive a MINI? I'm getting this car sorted to go after the North American championship this year! Thanks for subscribing. More videos to come - we re-valved the shocks on this car and it is handling like crazy as you can see in the videos! This is a customer appreciation day - so I wasn't going 10/10th, but was still on it...I really wanted to pass that last GTR, but he kept blocking me....
