Actually, I was forced to stop for the cars lined up for the high-5's at the end and it konked out. It didn't have enough compression to restart. When they towed me down pit lane I put it in gear and when they got going fast enough I got it restarted and then held the brakes and made them unhook me. They obliged and I was able to drive off of pit lane and into my pit space under my own power! Check out from 1:45 on in vid titled LeMons BW Flaming Sunset

Nice video! Yea, that was Patrick McIntyer from AOL Autoblog The List behind the wheel. I'll let you read his credentials and draw your own conclusions. The mini is a 998cc, stock internals, with a fake GT15 turbo blowing through an SU carb. It was on 3.5 cylinders (one cylinder down to 60psi at the start of the weekend and it WASN'T the valves :~) Was blowing out 1qt of oil every 15 minutes by the end. Barely finished the event

I know, I saw them tow you back to the pits at the end with smoke pouring out.
