Sean, and anyone else who might know,

	Has a souped up Audi ever run at Bonnevile?   Its a very stable 
car at speed, which is a byproduct of the drivetrain layout and 
suspension design.  Since a 
turbo 5 can be pumped up to a pretty high hp level, I would think that we 
should be able to get a fairly high top speed.   Maybe we'd be limited by 
the relatively high axle ratio, but we could put some large dia tires on 
it.   Any one know what class the 5KCSTQ would go in, and what the 
current record is?
