do you think you'll be running this year? so many PRO3 builds happening this year. i hope to be out on the track, but Im building a Club Rabbit car. It fits in my budget and i have a shit-ton of spare vw parts so it made more sense than a PRO3. hope to see the BBQ2U out thereSimon

Wow. That looks like a ton of fun man! That cage is beautiful!!
I've never really delved into the differences between PRO3 and SpecE30 but boy oh boy, seeing this I can definitely see that you guys can run nicer suspension setups.IG: deniso_nsi Leave me feedback here
