Default allroad racing at the Silver State Classic

The recent Monster Allroad threads mentioned its use for racing - like the Silver State Classic. Lookie here - it seems it wouldn't be the first allroad to run. Here is a frame from a video taken of the event which supposidely shows the car. It doesn't look much like an allroad to me, but the guy who took the photo says it is.

The link below is to results from the Gold Rush Classic - held the week before, and it says Paul Romano ran an allroad in the 130 mph class (with a top speed of 148.) The Silver State Classic results list him in a 2001 Audi wagon - but don't say it's an allroad. His top speed there was 152.

YAHOO!!! I wonder what he did to keep it planted on the road?<ul><li><a href="http://www.silverstateclassic.com/results-03-goldrush.htm">'03 Gold Rush Classic results</a></li></ul>

Default That's the Monster Allroad we built up to 435hp on 91 oct. [more]

The only reason he placed so low in the results, was the fact he did a mental math mistake. He doesn't use a navigator, just himself. He has pace notes and timers, then works out the math in his head on the fly. Pretty impressive.
