Maybe 3 or 4 years ago, when Ned was coming through Denver, he gave
me a call to come see him. He was bringing this car back from the east and
he let me drive it. It was from the firehawk series, the roll cage had been
removed, but the mount points were still in the car. Also had a nice stiff
suspension and some big wheels on it. Still had some of the Audi stripes
on it. The car ran hard and handled well. Not sure who ended up with it.

There are also a couple of racing S4's around. About 2 years ago,  a
fellow was selling off the S4 used in the Canadian version of the showroom
stock series(I think). He had the complete car with race engine, cage,
race seat, exhaust, coil over suspension, all the orig parts, and mucho
spares, engine and wheels all for around $30k US. Quite a deal.
