Hello to BASC (Bay Area Saab Club) mailing list! I hope the new year sees
everyone in good circumstances with no leaky windshields and strong running
transmissions. As the wet winter rolls on here in the Bay Area, we have been
taking a break from our club activities. However, I'm taking my responsibilities
as one of the club Presidents seriously and have put yet another red sonettV4 on
the road this month. Here in the Santa Cruz mountains, it looks more like a
little fiberglass boat on the road...
We have been asked by the Volvo Club (I have membership with a few 1800's) to
join them at the race track at THUNDERHILL in Sacremento on APRIL 29TH. The
picture here is: Your Car with Your Foot all the way on the pedal with Your Eye
on the tach. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR RED LINE IS? The last time I tried to find
the red line in one of the sonetts, just after dropping in a new V4, I was cited
at 90 (back when the limit was 55) going through the Morgan Hill speed trap on
101. I have included VCOA's invitation to include BASC below. Last year VCOA had
to cancel the event due to lack of participation. This year they already have
about 30 drivers paid up (money is returned if the event is canceled due to not
enough folks).
Other news is that I am working on putting in a BASC web site. We will start out
as a basic site with a section on upcoming events, a blurb about the club, and a
way to send emails. For now stay tuned to club activities as posted on the
Saabnet.com in the Events section. However, we have nothing planned until the
skies clear in the Spring. If you wish to be taken off the cluib mailing list,
simply let me, or the other club President, Cliff Quan (Cliff@gene.com), know by
return email.
Best winter wishes to all,
Club President Roger Wapner
DO NOT DELAY IN SIGNING UP FOR THIS TRACK EXPERIENCE AS THERE NEEDS TO BE 60
DRIVERS TO RENT THE TRACK. SEND IN YOUR MONEY AND ADDRESS TO KEITH.
Imagine driving your Volvo at full speed through sweeping corners, over hill
crests, and down long straightaways hitting over 100 MPH with out having to look
in your mirror for Johnny Law to spoil the fun. My friends, the Track Day at
Thunderhill this April 29th is the place to do just that ina safe and fun
environment. If you have attended one of our other two events you know what I
mean. If you have never done a track day believe me it is one of the most fun
things you can do with your clothes on! If you want to participate time is
running out. Running with other clubs would be a lot of fun too but we really
have to get to our 60 driver attendance goal or we will wipe out the club
treasury. I am not sure how many people we can recruit from other clubs. Lee
is hopeful but we would be much more likely to succeed if we had half of our
goal met within our own club. Thunderhill will only hold our time for us if we
put our money where our mouth is this month. I have received many requests to
hold space in the event but I simply can not do this without the money. So if
you think you want to attend it is now or possibly never.
Send your $75 registration deposit check payable to:
VCOA Northbay
2505 Chileno Valley Road
Petaluma, CA 94952
See you at Thunderhill,
Keith Soreng
