MINI takes the States

Had a fun time last night...went down to hang out at the tailgate party as the MINI takes the States tour rolled through St. Louis. Buncha free stuff and good food, ice cream, etc, plus we got to check out some hot minis. There were a few customized paint jobs and one GP. Then there was the M600 Flamethrower... 500+ horsepower, under 1700 lbs, a few hundred grand in mods. Quartermile in 11.0 seconds. It was pretty sick. And these guys on Team Fireball build them constantly, this is just one of the latest in their line of Fireballed cars...
Also got a free ticket to sit in the partybox (thanks ESPN) but we got crushed by the Marlins, so it might rate as the second worst game I've been to.

Here's some pics:
