Tony Kloosterman and sin team up under the banner of I Never Quit Racing + running a WRX.
Tony told us the car was incredibly stable with HotBits DT2 suspension compared to the previous suspension.
Targa is a tarmac event but the rural roads have lots of the broken surface and potholes that the Hot Bits just swallowed up.
HotBits would like to congratulate all the winners and the huge group of our customers that just love to have fun in great handling cars.
2007 looks to be even more promising with some new teams at drag racing and drift running.
