LOL!
Holy Shit, That's funny!

After bein all fired up on the autoX track, I did the same thing!

The uGLI brakes hard into the right hander, Hit the turn, accellerate hard 
under the bridge...**COP!** then nail the brakes, re-swallow my lunch and 
slide to a stop right next to the cop!  I asked him if this was the way to 
rt 46... He laughed.

I went with another 'no-maintnence' AutoX plan on Sun.  I got there, 
unloaded the trunk and went racing with my street tire pressures.  The Yokos 
were *way* under-inflated.  It was too damn hot to care, tho. I had to keep 
my eyes on the temp gauge, as I lost the fan switch on the way there.
I had 6 runs all together, my buddy, Kyle (from the NJ cruise) took one run 
(off-course), I took the other 5. I had fairly consistant low 22's, High 
21's were the average, and there were a few sicko's runnin 20's--the army 
green MK2 golf and the 'assult rabbit' both broke into the 19's!

I think I placed 30th overall out of --jeeze, I dunno, 85 cars?   Whatever.
It was good to see all the listees, and I even got to walk thru the show for 
an hour!  One of the coolest cars I saw at the show was a MK2 golf, 1985, 
with those Rabbit-square headlights- factory chrome trim, hubcaps, a MK3 
dash and a VR6 with ABS.  It was the cleanest sleeper Id seen in a long 
time. They even picked the 85 grille--GUTS!

The 2 sad things were, of course, the 1.8T MK 1 golf *SMASHED* (I watched 
him drive it out of the show field...) and the ultra-rad 78rabbit drag car 
that WAS NOT ALLOWED IN THE SHOW.  This car was a beautiful example of what 
VW shows *could* be. the craftsmanship was amazing, and the owner was 
intelligent and answered everybody's questions.   There was enough room to 
let this guy in.  He tried registering 2 weeks before, and said it was sold 
out, so he bought an AutoX ticket to park it.  They shoulda let him in the 
show field...If there was enough room for the stupid fuck who was reving his 
motor and chirping the tires --with a crowd around him-- they coulda put him 
in.  He proudly noted... "I can honestly say that I do not have a single 
part on this car that any of these venors here have made or sell."    wait 
till ya see it.  It puts a thumb in the eye of VW tuning as we know it.  5 
teasers: 4 barrel carb... water jackets in block are filled with concrete... 
rear suspension consists of heim joints, a tube that looks alot like a tie 
rod, and a VALVE SPRING off a big block chevy...boxed front end to eliminate 
strut bearings.  Thats enough...

OK, I've said enough... NEXT!
