To make a long story short, Frank Sprongl got screwed by Climb to the Clouds organizers. They disqualified his quattro A2 because it has a bolt-in cage .... a cage that has been in the car since it was built. They could easily have granted a waiver .... but they didn't. I talked to Frank and he was pissed big time. His other quattro - the S2 that holds the record - is not currently running so that was not an option. To his credit, he was there crewing for Jon Kemp in an Evo XI.

Anyway, we stopped by the dealership in Toronto-area where he displays the car and checked it out on the way home today. Stunning car, but a big disappointment not to see it attack the hill:
