MINI COOPER, MEGA POWER Open Comp racer Ken Hebert charges down the Valdosta eighth mile in his one-of-a-kind MINI Cooper, a custom-built, stock-bodied Clubman with a 565 ci big block Chevy for motivation. Hebert made the trip down to Valdosta from Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada, and impressed onlookers with his 5.6-second elapsed times, garnering a strong qualifying position and a late-round finish on Sunday.
