>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.

As many of us know, final approval ($) for the Pikes Peak Saab came very
late, and Per Eklund and crew were barely able to assemble the car and have
it flown to Colorado in time for on-site practice. At the year 2000
Owners' Convention we learned that the car was beginning to overheat as it
reached the Peak, and the incredible heat damaged the K&N air filter, which
then caused damage to the compressor.

WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!!! With some development, a car which stays healthy
from start to finish, and Per Eklund at the wheel, and the ALL TIME RECORD
is within Saab's grasp!!!!

(ps: There's nothing like a first place trophy to loosen managements purse
strings for supporting motorsports.)
