Audi vs Subaru

Somewhat humorous photo taken by Tim M at Climb to the Clouds.  This is me and Frank Sprongl (the record holder prior to the event) discussing the disqualification of his A2 quattro from the event.  The Michele Mouton / John Buffum works A1 quattro is in the foreground. In the background,  the Vermont Sports Car Team Subaru paddock who organized and - surprise - won the event ......


Here's Frank lighting up the brakes at the 2008 Targa Newfoundland:


Unfortunately, Frank told me this car is unlikely to ever see competition again.  It's become cost prohibitive.  He spent $30,000 just to have the head rebuilt at Audi Sport in Germany a few years back!
