My current Saab is an '88 900 turbo 3dr. I bought this car just to use it for modifying and eventually some form of sanctioned motorsport. I would love to rally, but I will have to settle spectating as far as stage rallying goes.
The only experience that I actually have in 4 wheeled motorsport is a couple of trips to Mazda rev it up events, (unless unsanctioned rallycross in the farm fields of south jersey counts). When I was in my teens and early twenties I did compete in enduro and hair scrambles on dirt bikes, I never won, but I usually finished and always had fun; I want to have fun like that again.
I plan to get my '88 in competitive shape by late summer and take the trip to FLA for grm's $2008 challenge. Between now and then I plan to make it look presentable and take it to the Carlisle imports show, enter at least one auto-x and at least one drag event at atco or maple grove. I also hope to make it to stpr as a spectator this year, and some pa hill climb events.
I am a professional mechanic (industrial vehicles), so I've got tools and I think that I know how to use them, I've repaired, tuned and modded many cars, but I lack hard core Saab tuning knowledge. Will you guys help me?
