"The Loaf"

Details as provided by Arthur Emerson III

"The Loaf" as it has been nicknamed is a stock 1995 GTI VR6,
and is the only stock VW being run in the SCCA ProSolo series for
the past two years.  (Without much luck, hence the nickname.)  This
is the very car that was the fastest GTI VR6 at Waterfest 95, 96, and 99,
and took the wins each time in stock trim against some heavily-modded
cars.  In addition, it had the fastest PAX time at Waterfest 99 and
the third-fastest  at Waterfest 98.  The 1999 PAX margin of victory
was 0.409 seconds on a 16.2 second PAX'ed course, or a 2.5% lead over second place!

The driver/owner, Arthur Emerson (me), also competed in the 1996
Nevada Open Road Challenge as navigator in Mike Balasko's GTI VR6
entry (http://www.gti-club.org/shows/nevada/), and was a driver on one
of VW's two teams in the 1997 One Lap of America
(http://www.sintaks.com/onelap/).  Other notables include founding
the GTI VR6 discussion list in 1996, and running the soon-to-be
defunct "GTI VR6 Online" web site.  My latest project is "Racing
for Tots", a local organization started by two VW racers and taken
nationally to SCCA events through the huge decals on the rear
quarter panels by a third VW driver (me).  We collect
new toys at all of our local sports car club's events, and then
distribute them to local hospitals and charities at the holidays.
