Was Racing Seats now Oval Track Racing

[rocco2nr@hotmail.com (Joe Doty)]

I have an issue of Circle Track magazine (aug 2001) where someone wrote in 
about using a FWD watercooled VW (a mk2 scirocco, in fact) on a dirt oval.  
The answer was that not many people use watercooleds on dirt but that the 
FWD would "pull" you around the track.  That's them talking, not me.
