?Was your 2003 car a different Golf then? ---

Yes in 2003 I was in my first golf that was a stock 8v motor rally car I bought for $2500 rally prepared (that should give you an idea of the quality). I gave that car to Chad up in Canada as a bit of charity, to at that time a very young and promising driver. So I should have said I never finsihed behind a PGT car (that I remember) in my second golf.

Oh thinking back in more detail I think a few PGT cars did beat me on the track at PRI the first day of Oregon Trail 2005 so I guess I was wrong I forgot about the silly day mostly on pavement sitting on the rev limiter in 5th gear forever.

It is possible that a PGT car may have got us at Merrit too after we drove 2 stages with a broken lower control arm... and at Oregon Trails 2004 as I was driving the car that became golf #2 but was still mostly golf #1.

I still stand by the idea that Gp2 cars should be faster then PGT cars most of the time.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.



In the long run reality always wins.
