Inspired by Jake and the fact that my normal FSP rabbit is in about 100 pieces, I decided to take the caddy out at a local autocross. It's a sister club to our local SCCA region and since there weren't any other FSP entries that day, I got the points!
All in all the 1.5L doesn't make for showstopping launches or anything (surprise, surprise), but the caddy did WAY better than I thought it would. Even with stock worn out suspension and street tires (I have a hunch that those are Corolla rims, btw), it still handled pretty well.

Sweet. It might be a truck, but it's got VW blood in it. ;)
If you do much autocross in the central ohio area, look me up, I'd like to spectate a few times before I go and do it myself. I'm about 45 minutes northeast of Columbus.
Yeah, I think those are corolla wheels, saw one just today. :P

Years ago I autocrossed Gaser Caddy and was H stock champ two years in a row. They all though it was funny, autocross VW truck NO WAY !! But when it was wining all time with times fast enought to win D stock. that was fun.
