What's wrong with MINI USA? Why do they offer contingency money ony if 10 cars compete? There aren't 10 racing MINIs in the country! What do you think would happen if there was a REAL factory sponsored racing program? And don't give me that old poobah about low profit margin. MINI is selling every car they can make, and quickly too. The rest of the world doesn't seem to be afffected by these "low profits" that we always hear MINI USA Sales complaining about. Maybe they're worried about us embarrassing the parent brand on the track? Get with it boys! We're not <em>all</em> satisfied with drive and dine.</p> Why are we doomed to just read about exciting MINI racing in Oz, in UK, in Canada? What’s wrong with MINI USA?
