INSANITY VEGA

The Vega is both competitive Super Street / Pro ET racer and school car. New drivers Dave Catton, Steve Bolton and Mick Howling have all been taught in this car along with Grumpy's Dodge, all have won rounds in the National Championships in their first season.

The Vega's vivid pink colour-scheme make it a favourite with the female spectators and the fact it is a hoot to drive makes it a hit with our drivers. More than 200 passes a year for this little pick-up, but she never misses a beat.
