After a scramble to locate a last-minute replacement for the ailing Jon
Davis, Marty Adams filled in as driver. Marty is a Saab dealer in Iowa
(Meyer Garage and Iowa City Saab) and is quite familiar with Tom Donney's
SAAB 92.

I drove the car for a few laps at Road America. While the Corvettes and
Porsches were loafing around the track, it was all I could do to push the
25 HP SAAB 92 up the famous hills at RA. The speedometer read just over 100
on the downhill slope between turns 2 and 5. (Speedometer was in KPH, of
course.)

We had some trouble keeping up the speeds on the uphills and the twisties
in the Kettle Morain area, but managed a good enough score to win the
Vintage Trophy.

Will write more and post some photos later.

Thanks to Trio Motors in Flint, Michigan; Marty Adams for filling in on
short notice; and especially to Tom Donney for allowing us to flog the
oldest SAAB in America!

And thanks to the spirit of Larry Williams for riding with us all weekend
and urging us on.
