Just got home from Pikes Peak a few minutes ago (at about 5:00 PM on the
Fourth) having witnessed a great Saab Event! Per Eklund bested the
previous Open Class record by approx. 21 seconds (Unofficial time, I
believe) as he handily won the Open event here today. The 750 HP Viggen
looked and sounded mean and ran strong under the expert touch of Mr.
Eklund.
Also had a nice chat with Eril Carlsson and Kevin Smith of SCUSA as well
as the Saab Pit crew. Said hello to Denise McCluggage before the race
and had the special opportunity to watch the Viggen run in the company
of Per Eklund's wife, and we also met his very proud daughter. They are
looking forward to New York for the SOC and to visit NYC I understand.
All in all it was another perfect Colorado day, made even better by the
Saab victory. Glad I was able to get down to Pikes Peak since I won't be
in New York for the SOC this year. Tom
