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...

Stefan; There was a very narrow Z-car spoiler that I have read works very well, at least on the SIII's. They even have holes for brake ducts. I have some photos around of a Vette-powered Z using one. I think they are relatively inexpensive as well... What I need is like a 1968 JC Whitney catalog! 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. I've been vintage racing SAABs with my Dad since '03 and autocrossed his Sonett from '95 to '00. Currently running all Dad'...
