Unfortunately Paddy the Mini Cooper was leaking coolant after the last race and it was not the radiator overflow tank or loose hose clamp. The leak was from the valve cover area and was a blown head gasket. The head got too hot and cracked with some damage to the valve guide on the rear exhaust valve. I have ordered a new motor from Slark Racing in England who supplied my acquaintance Tom Davies with his CARRARA MÉXICO Mini motor. Participation is race time decision if a new motor arrived this week.
