Mike Whittaker from Sleepymike Racing was at Santa Pod for the VWDRC Drag Days event. Back out in his Mk1 Caddy, which is fitted with a VR6 Turbo’d engine, pushing out about 650bhp, with an added 60bhp shot of NOS, all mapped by ADE tuning and putting the power down to all 4 wheels.

Mike has had the same setup for about 3 years now, and after noticing that the clutch was slipping, a new one was fitted along with launch control, and BOOM, into the 9’s for the first time, with a best run of 9.963 @ 140mph.

As far as we know, this is the quickest Mk1 Caddy in Europe, with a mid engined one in the States, with a proper drag rear end setup, running a 9.4 or 9.5 (we think)
