The Central Penn SAAB Club, with the support of their friends from The Washington DC SAAB Club (WASSAAB), The New Jersey SAAB Owners Club, The New England SAAB Association, and the New York SAAB Owners Club will converge at The 16th Annual Carlisle Import Kit and Replicar Nationals, May 21-23, 2004, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
We will once again be up against some stiff competition for the club participation award, which SAAB owners took away from the long standing owner of the trophy, The Mid-Atlantic Fiero Owners Association, by the slimmest of margins; One SAAB in 2002 and only six cars in 2003. Our Fiero friends, lead by Bob Schlag, were shocked once again at the outcome, and they will certainly pull out all the stops to regain their place on top. The SAAB loyal have proven we are the best chance of outpacing the well-organized Fiero group, as we bested the BMW’s by more than 60 cars, and the Volvo’s came in third in 2003, after only fielding about a dozen cars in 2002.
With the support of several area dealers, including Lehman SAAB, Kelly SAAB, Eisenhauer SAAB, Hunt Valley SAAB and Sports Car Service, and vendors Viking Wheel Service and State of Nine, we will again host The People’s Choice Awards. SAAB’s will be parked on the show field by model type; Aeros on Aero Avenue, Viggens on Viggen Valley Road and so on. There will be door prizes, a silent auction, and the best part; lunch provided free of charge on Saturday, with only one small catch. You must complete your voting ballot: “No Votes, No Vittles”. The soup was a big hit last year, and the food committee reassures me that it will be on the menu once again this year. Hopefully, we’ll get a break from the terrible weather, as the event is a week later this year.
This year in order to participate, you must be registered through us to ensure that your car(s) count in the official participation contest. If you register directly with Carlisle, it has become increasingly difficult to track down every last car for the vote tally. If you want to park with us and enjoy the SAAB festivities, this isn’t too much to ask. Other regular features of the event will include a Friday evening dinner, Saturday afternoon tour through the scenic rolling countryside, and a dinner stop along the way. SAABs at Carlisle T-Shirts will be available, with original artwork by John Webber. The 2004 artwork will feature a convertible this year.
