A1 Race Car Porn - some Sciroccos content :)

[Cory_Langford at bcit.ca (Cory Langford)]

Now that is good news - just starting thinking about converting one of the
many Scirocco shells sitting here to a race car (got hooked last summer
during some lapping time on the track).  Looks like I have old info.

  I definitely need to get a copy of the new rule books before I get my
cage build :)

I thought the GT-L class was the same cage as the IT where you could go up
to the firewall, but not through. I always thought the GT-L class was to
allow higher modification to production cars, but not quite the tube build
racers like higher gt classes.  Back to the books again.

So on that note, who on the list actually races? or is into racing enough
to help me out in the build of a race car :)
