      Hey guys,

          I'm sure y'all know more about this stuff than I do, but I seem to re
member a 200TQ (Group 44) IMSA race car.  I believed it raced in the IMSA GTO s
eries....the same series as the Roush Mustangs, Camaros, and Vettes!  I hear fr
om y'all that Audi raced a 5000TQ in '88, in Trans Am, but I think they raced t
he 200TQ in '89 in the GTO/GTU series.  Any comments?  Or, am I just crazy?

           I just seem to remember it being in the Audi ads for the 200TQ....an
d maybee that just confused me.  Anyways...I thought there was a 200TQ race car
too.  There are pictures of that car hanging all over my mechanics shop and it
looks pretty much like a tube frame car with a fiberglass body, large wheel wel
ls, and a large spoiler on the back with QUATTRO script on it!  Sweet!

           Another comment: A friend of mine from NY says that some guy on Long
 Island or Statton Island has one of these and races it.  Any one seen it aroun
d at local New England race tracks, like Lime Rock?

                                                         Later,
                                                         Dan
