That's Dave Hosmer
CT. Down towards Woodstock way. It''s a smaller shop. last time I was down he had 4 sonetts up on the shelf in different levels of fixing up. He has one of those funny looking Giata's I think there called. It is a tube framed, fiberglass shelled, SAAB 2 stroke powered thing. Don't think it's been o...

introducing... a vintage racer
So I was wondering... Can a track racer join this group of dirt junkies? Some of you already know me from SOCs and some of the various mailing lists, primarily Turbo and vSAAB.
