Those Scoobys are quite a lot of car for the money! Get the right springs and shocks on there, throw on some R compounds, and you've got a pretty potent track car!

Once you've driven a BMW it's hard to drive anything else unfortunately! But it makes a great reference point, something I use as I'm crafting the Bug.

I forgot to mention the "excursions" at Infineon HPDE, first time out with the D group, this guy in a TT puts it into the wall through the esses on the second lap, I mean please, let your mind warm up at least! Then my buddy in the blue '07 Turbo Porsche in the pic above completely sideswipes the car overcooking it into the hairpin. Fortunately he's got lots of clear bra stuff on there, and no bent sheetmetal, but it will take some work, it's striped from front to back. Finally, on our last session, someone decided to combine C&D groups, I guess we were running late. Well, needless to say, a nice S4 Avant in the C class got totalled heading into a wall coming out of the esses. I think the C's were feeling pressure from the D's unfortunately. There were lots of cars there, and those were the only casualties, and besides the S4, everyone else drove home, so I guess it went pretty well!
