Did any of the Saabistros ask how a Saab can be driving perfectly fine down a
traight-stretch and turn over and spin in the middle of the road upside down
on
ts top. I will never forget that day at Summit Point Raceway. I was watching
s the back-markers go through and all of a sudden I see this Saab do this
rick.
It is good to have you back on the list. I cannot believe that VIR got canned
his year. What do you think happened there?

ith a friend we race with up on the hill in our race
railer. saturday morning
e arived on the show field and we were converged
pon by saabistas wanting to
ee the '60 93f race car and about a thousand
uestions folowed. as much as i
ried to get away mary anne & i did not
et to the swap meet until sunday
orning. by then many vendors had left.
unny what people abandon when they
eave. in someone's discarded junk , i
icked up 2 front spridget shocks and
n upper trunion , along with a
hrottle cable. yeah i brought all that stuff
ome....we had a great time
nd i'm still very sore and my neck is sun burned!
central penn saab club
ame here and towed our race car in the trailer out to
arlisle and as of
ast night returned the trailer home for us. our tow
ehicle's trans needs
o be rebuilt or we would have towed it. central penn
aab club did a
onderfull job with all their activities and meals.
we missed gathering
taurday for lunch with evryone. that bothered me. but
t was very
ectic with two cars on the show field.
eather? pennsylrainia? this was
bout the best remembered year weather
ise. vehicle attendance was
mpressive too! we are planning to be back next
ear with the bugeye and a
aab (not certain which one)!
huck
t was great seeing those off the list
hat stopped by.
eather as always was pretty tough Thursday and Friday, heavy
ain and some
ightning nearby
aturday made up for it to some extent.
tbs
lways wild trying to second guess what parts to bring down there and
ow much
f each
ondering how much longer the event will hang in there based on itbs
windling size and the fact itbs the smallest venue there and not well
ttended.
ut always great talking parts and cars and deals
