Roo Shooter is to appear at this weeks World Time Attack Challenge, the 57 panel was a invited guest and is selected to compete in the Turbo Smart Flying 500. Anybody who may not be aware this event is designed for exotic race cars from all over the world which start at about 700hp and move all the way up to 1250hp.......so the Roo Shooter's little 180hp engine has been fairly matched up against a Lamborghini Aventador with just over 750hp. As Enzo Ferrari once said ..."aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines" so what hope does a 2.7 type 4 have against this competition....very little . The aim is to drive at 90kmph along the main straight at Easter Creek Sydney Motorsport Park and then jam the throttle for 500meters and see what happens. The Roo Shooter will compete on Friday 17th at about 11.00am and agian on Saturday around the same time.......if you come along be sure to pop over and say Hi we need all the support in a very Jap /Euro angled event. The most positive outcome is a world wide photo shot of a ratty Kombi racing a exotic super car.
Great exposure!Goodluck

Have fun at the Tack Atime in the Shoe Rooter, Steve....bugger, have I wuddled up my mords again ? 😁
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
how did the roo shooter go, put up a good fight I hope
yep its a good idea to be seen out and about in the car scene , as I was at a car show in the Hunter valley NSW and some guys were talking about your bus, they said a crazy fast Kombi was racing sports cars. 😊
good work . flying the vw flag
😂🤪😂🤪😂
car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲
Thanks Ian, this was a flag flying exercise.....the kombi attracted so much attention leaving me with a great feeling. The Roo Shooter managed 165kmph compared to the top speed of 308kmph over 500meters, a crowd favourite and hope to have a little footage up soon.
