Hitting the track in my 1966 Wolseley Hornet for my birthday! Brutus the Murder Hornet!

I got to take my newly acquired and recently "finished up" 1966 Wolseley Hornet to the track on my birthday, Friday Oct 23rd. His name is Brutus and he's a f*****g legend. The engine, a 1275cc monster, and suspension got a full tweak from a friend and fellow mini nut David Baker. The gauges are non-functional currently, but that's why 'finished up' above is in quotes. Overall it went really well! The Hornet felt very strong, the engine is amazing, the suspension felt good, and the sounds were just so good! I drove the Hornet to the track and drove it home. Can't beat that. This video shows my second full sessions, third sessions including the parade laps, and it also has my fastest lap on track! it's the 10th lap and my last full lap of the session. I got to a 1:44.5! that's after starting at a 1:51.8 on my first session. Unfortunately my front facing camera did not record this session. I prob didn't hit the right button or something. That's why it's just in-cab footage. You can usually make out the lap times via my phone, which is neat. I'm using HotLap for my timer. it worked great for me all day! I really want to change back to a racing seat, as this seat sucks. I was sliding like crazy. I'll post more videos with the front facing camera working as well, but I wanted to get my fastest lap up first!
