I can't recall- is Rally WV a simple enough rally in terms of service, that we could utilize one service crew for all the cars?

Well I think the idea would be to setup sort of a SAAB corral at service, we would obviously need more than one crew if we had several teams.

My wife is due the week before, Rally WV is off the table for me. I'm planning on SB, TN and STPR. Possibly NY.

We should all enter the cars under one team name, "The Saab Rally Syndicate" or something, and have a gigantic banner at service.
It's all about intimidation....

Well if she is late, nothing induces labor like the father of your child barreling through the forest at 70mph.

I'll have a guy with me at Sandblast and the other events..he's good with wrenches, but not Saab specific.

Just bring any 99/900's you can to the event, we might need the spare parts.

No cars are safe Saabs or not. Remember last time we had to use plug wires from a Subaru? And that was before the race even started!

But the event could have continued with loaner ball joints
Who cares about getting home!

I just ordered my new front wheel for the bike. $750, but at least it will be a heck of a lot stronger then the old one. Its amazing just how much it gets to be when racing even on 2 wheels.
