I called Topeka about getting my '87 GLI 16V classified in IYA. I was told the Comp Board had discussed and OK'd it Jan 9.

One justification for a cell is if you run enduros. A stock tank/pickup will not get the last few gallons. It will starve out on corners with 3 gallons remaining so you have to pit more often. So...
