This Robnell is used regularly for supersprints, hillclimbs, track days and recently scored 2nd outright at the Cobra Nationals 2001 which included, show & shine, hillclimb, supersprint, drags and go to whoa.

One of the most impressive things about this particular Robnell is the gut wrenched feeling you get after crawling from the passenger seat.
