The reason why I haven't answered my PM's - 08/08/12 02:51 PM

This is why I have not had time to answer my PM's or email's.
I have worked day and night to finally go to my first race in years.
Take care.

That's a wild hauler and car is cool!

Re: The reason why I haven't answered my PM's - 08/08/12 03:13 PM

Yes it's a SAAB 900 Turbo.
We don't have so many options over here, it's far better then an open trailer and I can't afford a a big rig or have a licens to do it.
It works good

Cool! is that tow vehicle a custom build, or do they come that way? it looks like that "fat" E-body is bending that Saab in half!

Very nice !
I saw a similar hauler done over here for a drag bike ........ he used an Olds Toronado and turned the back into a pick up with dual axles.
I'm just not that creative , but I know cool when I see it.
So..............how'd ya do ?

It's a custom built car, they are hard to find and expensive to buy.

No Saab 900 diesels its a gas motor I bet. I thought it was weird till I saw he was in Sweden, then it made complete sense.

Yeah, I remember them too. I used to work at a Saab dealer, I'll just leave it at that.

It's just a ramp bed on it, I hired one in 2003 when I won the Scandinavian championship with the Challenger and I got hocked on this type of SAAB.
I will race at Kjula this weekend and in 2 weeks the European nats in Tierp.
We go all over Sweden and can be 160 miles up to 1500 miles in a weekend.
My wife drives the other car with a caravan so we have some where to live :-)

Mr. sixpack does that car still have the narrowed gas tank in it or does it have fuel sell now? I narrowed the stock tank for Paul way back when.

Used to watch Paul Rossi in So. Cal @ OCIR all the time running Super Stock..

That car would always go straight up..

There were rumors that the car was retired because it was not legal.. (too light in the front end)..

Great to see it's still together..

Are you giving us a SAAB story??

Posted By: MrSixpack

Re: The reason why I haven't answered my PM's - 08/09/12 07:54 PM

No the gas tank is long gone, think it got a fuel cell in England when they raced Super Gas.
And the owner before me threw the original headers in the dumpster

When I had my home built engine with a std block it was 48% front and 52% rear so yes it was light in the nose

Now with the World block I don't know what it will be, maybe 50/50% ?

Now I'm starting to feel nervous

I have done so many changes to the car that I don't know how it will go, no cutting or any thing like that. Just lowered it and new shocks and so on. It had shocks from the 1970ths so I just had to update to Afco's

When I'm done with this weekend I'll get back and tell how it woked and answere all my PM's. Right now I can't think straight

Take care guy's.
