Is John Sleath taking his bonkers Audi?

I thought of entering but thought that you needed to be seriously sub 4s to have any sort of chance of winning anything!! I mean Norris is into the 2s now!!!

ive heard your scoobys a bit nippy surely enough to justify a place?

ive been practicing my launches (with the diff LOCKED) on paper mine does a 4.3 standard, but with mods hopin for a bit less!

managed a 4.5 at a 0-60 event last year in my old uk scooby but the type r feels much faster...

yes,that is mine on the five spokes that runs at elvington.gearings not too short but only revs to 6000 being a 12 valve v6.0-60 at york is split into classes.4 cyl,6cyl,8cyl n/a,8cyl turbo.so scoobies shouldn't be running against skylines or audi's
