| Saab Trackday: Reports from the 2003 event
Reflections of participants on the SaabScene Trackday 2003:
"Good: the people, the orginisation, the track, that 99..., the burgers, the enthusiasm. Bad:
the rain, the 'mistakes'." George Clarkson, Saab 9000 circa 300bhp
"The only point I'd add to the bad list was not taking part. ... thanks to everyone who helped make it a fantastic day and to John for taking me round the track as a passenger - I really wish I'd had a go now." Dr. Adrian Lee, spectator and passenger
"As far as the people were concerned it was the best track day I'd ever been to (it's my 7th or 8th track day). It makes a huge difference when you know everyone on the track and virtually eliminates aggressive driving. I've seen better weather, though." Bill Jones, Saab 9000 circa 300bhp
"It really was great and worth the effort to see such a fantastic group of people and cars having such a great time." Mark Edgar, Saab 9000 circa 300bhp
"This is the first opportunity I've had to say what a fantastic day I had on Monday. ...As ever with these events, its not just the wonderful cars that make the day but the people as well. Thanks a bunch you lot, it was truly a memorable day. ...it's been 48 hrs now and I'm still wearing that stupid grin!!! I fear it may be permanent now." Chris Foxley, Saab 99 turbo (1978)
"Fantastic day. Cold wet, and grinning from ear to ear, and that was just spectating. Got a passenger run in John-W's 900 T8. Absolutley tasty." Carl Robson, spectator and passenger |
