OT- Old Audi Ad?

[theron@tns.net (Theron Ross)]

I don't have any info on the ad, but years ago there was a "Secrets of
Speed" episode called "Unfair Advantage" or something like that, that ran on
ESPN that documented these Trans-Am races and Audi's use of all wheel drive.
Lots of cool footage and good clips of interviews with Hans Stuck and Hurley
Haywood.

Talk about making you want to drive!!! It's the BEST!! It is so f'ing well
made! It will make you want an Audi quattro.

I have a "taped off TV" VHS tape of it, but I would pay for an original
copy. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anyone who carries it. At
the end it says something about Blue 44 Productions, but my internet
searches haven't turned anything up. I did find something on the Audi
website once where they were selling a video that sounded similar, but I
never bought it. I think it was like $40.

I'd be willing to make copies of my tape for any interested listers, but I
only have one good VCR right now. I guess I should try to digitize it and
burn it onto a cd. I don't know if I would be able to do this, but I would
be willing to give it a try if anyone is interested. LMK.

Yeah, it was Audi's  first (and only) season in Trans-Am, running a 2.2
turbo quattro.  Took 1'st place 8 out of 13 races.  As the season
progressed, the added more and more handicaps to the Audis (but not any of
the other cars) including restrictor plates, ballast weight, and skinny
tires.  AWD was banned after that season.
