Mike Drew, can I borrow the VW? I want to enter this one. 

Seriously!

Shoot me an email so we talk about it!! >>

>>>HAHAHAAH!!!!

The green scirocco would be a PERFECT candidate for this race.  It is 
actually surprisingly quick, handles astonishingly well due to the modified 
suspension, stops on a dime due to the uprated brakes.  And it appears to be as 
reliable as gravity.

I have discovered that the clutch isn't up to the task of running on the 
track though--although that may be down to my own (poor) downshifting technique.  
Also, I discovered that the steering rack is totally blown-out, Pantera-style. 
 I bought a new one, but haven't had time to install it yet.  I also have new 
front suspension bushings for it.  And it needs to be aligned afterwards.

Simply put, it's not ready for prime-time.  :<(

The event itself looks like a gas, and I would have seriously considered 
entering it if I could. :<(
