Team Saabworks Heads to Canada

Team Saabworks heads to Canada for season opener

Boston, MA - Team Saabworks begins its 2002 racing season next weekend at
the Perce Neige Maniwaki rally in Maniwaki, Québec. The Perce Neige
Maniwaki is the oldest winter rally in Canada and is raced on the
legendary forestry roads throughout the region. 

Team Saabworks finished their inaugural season last year with many very
fast stage times yet was plagued with several mechanical failures. 'Last
year served as a great shakedown for the car,' a 1985 Saab 900, says Team
co-driver Ethan Maass, 'we built a great car but had to iron out a few
wrinkles.' The Team returns to rallying this year with a completely new
suspension, a new gearbox and many strengthened and re-engineered
components. 

Team driver James Fox feels that the car is much more prepared for the
rigors of performance rallying. 'Our new suspension and solid motor mounts
go miles towards making the Saab indestructible. I feel that the car is in
much better running trim and will quickly reach its pace, running at the
top of our class.' 

Saabworks intends to contest Group 5 class honors in the New England
Division of the SCCA ClubRally Championship. However, with the number of
events available to the Club level competitors in the Northeast dwindling,
Saabworks may need to head out of Division in order to rack up necessary
points. The rally next weekend will be considered a practice event for
Saabworks since it will not count towards the Championship This is because
the SCCA's Group 5 class is combined with the much higher power,
all-wheel-drive Open class in Canada.
