GTI Festival at Santa Pod on the 11th July is exactly what you need! :)

The best Golf's will probably do high 11 seconds. Highly modified cars though, don't expect anything near from a 'normal' GTI  ;D

What if there's a madman racing ya?  He might come and ram you at 70mph, and you wont be insured!

Here's more details on my run's

Please bear in mind that a lot of the cars I was up against were race prepped, whereas the only mods I have are a Miltek exhaust and a K&N filtercharger.
