"There's no denying the Minis were the star of the weekend," Celtic Speed boss Tommy Dreelan smiled. "It was terrific to get the Scottish Minis on the BTCC programme, and I don't think we disappointed anyone.
"I've spoken with a number of people, including senior figure at BTCC organisers TOCA, and they were delighted with the all-action and high quality of driving the competitors delivered.
"The television coverage was exceptional and provided us with a platform on which to show just how competitive and cost-efficient the Celtic Speed scottish Mini Cooper Cup is.
"Now we want to make sure we manage to get a slot on the BTCC package again next year. I've already had preliminary talks, so let's keep our fingers crossed."
Edinburgh's David Sleigh won the opening race, finishing ahead of championship-rival Vic Covey jnr, with Tim Sleigh rounding off the podium.
In the second race, Chris Smiley stormed to victory ahead of Celtic Speed's Steve Brewster with Jamie Cleland, guest-driving for the team, finishing third.
Fiona Wallace continued to set the pace in the Ladies Cup by winning both rounds of the BTCC meeting.
