ROO SHOOTER COMPETING AT WORLD TIME ATTACK CHALLENGE
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.

bus, they said a crazy fast Kombi was racing sports cars.

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.
