The turboed Sciroccos were indeed laking in their *um* presentation...I mean
an intercooler jutting out of the hood doesn't have that same cool factor as
the blowers you see on the muscle cars.  The airboxes were just dangling out
there in the engine bay. There are guys that are all show and no go, and
these guys were just all go and a *nice try* at show ;) I just like the fact
that all that power (230+) was coming out of a "stock" 1.8 16V with the
stock fuel and ignition system (they said they just added the MSD ignition).

As for the impromptu speed runs, I agree that it's pretty dumb, but
testosterone + HP + immaturity = lots of burnt rubber and eventually, the
police. Actually, when I left, I just honked while driving by and waved at
the crowd. I figure if I drove by too fast, they wouldn't be able to
appreciate the clean lines of the Scirocco ;)

OHHH, was that the guy that got hung up on the rail??? What exactly

YES! That would be THE event to attend! Generally, what safety inpection
standards do we have to pass in order for us to run (solo, I would imagine)?

Now, where did I store that 28mm swaybar... ;)
