Recently, a SAAB powered road racing special resurfaced and was sold to a New England based collector and racer. It has been relocated to the Lime Rock, CT area and a restoration is being planned.
This car piqued my interest because it tickled a memory in the back of my brain. It also has some interesting bits and bobs that popped up in the photos of the auction. As it turns out, this car had an interesting 15 minutes of fame in the SAAB world.

This issue just turned up in my files and it is a special one indeed, at least to me.
As individuals and as a family of SAAB owners, the list impresses even me. Today, with the last new SAAB having been built over a decade ago, it becomes more difficult to see how this list may grow in the future, but I thought it would be fun to actually create the list. My memory will need jogging, I’m sure. So this is likely to grow and gain accuracy over time.
Initially, I will list those cars that were or are mine as an individual. From there, I’m going to jump to the family.

In this issue we learn about the new, very clean looking, C-Mod challenger from Ray Heppenstall. There’s an introduction to the new Pocono Mountains International Raceway. My favorite is the small article focusing on Ice Racing written by Harry Reynolds.
If things had gone to plan, rather than doing a photoshoot of my car on this day, I would have been loading it on the trailer. I would have been getting ready to drive it for my first time, at the great Summit Point track in West Virginia. Well Covid-19 and quarantine ended up having something to say about that.

In this issue, I particularly enjoyed the telling of the making of the Penske Zerex Special based on the Cooper Monaco and its first outing at Nassau!
Welcome to my archives!
I believe this is the oldest issue of “Top Gear, Motorsport News of Delaware Valley” that I own.
1997 was the first year for the Formula SAE team at the University of Delaware. We built a car, completely on our own time and largely out of our own pockets and went to Detroit to compete with it. It did not go as planned, as Suhas said, but it was a great effort and experience. Here are two articles from the University of Delaware’s own newspaper, the UpDate.
