Several folks interested in racing the F-H Saab this season met tonight at Clyde Iron in Duluth. Discussing possibly building another Saab to use for Road America and Iowa. That would give us TWO cars for BIR.
At tonight's meeting: Jon Anderson, Cody Havlick (and his lovely girl friend Amber), Anthony "Izzy" Israelson, Aaron Abramson, Tim Winker. Everyone wants to drive, of course. I think we can handle that.

Drivers and crew needed for 2011 season
Bill Collins has lured Darrell Peterson, Greg Wold and John Hogdal to form a new ChumpCar team for 2011. Since Collins runs a truck driving school, their crap can racer will be a Dodge Dakota pickup. It is already well on the way to becoming a race truck and they hope to have it ready for Road America at the end of March.
That means Fart-hinder Racing will need at least three drivers, plus crew members, in order to go racing the Saab 900S in the ChumpCar World Series this year. As mentioned in the previous post, the Saab race car is unavailable until the snow melts, so we will probably only be able to enter the two BIR events in June and July.
Interested parties contact Tim Winker.

Road America? 'Fraid not.
Called John Hogdal this weekend to see about picking up the Fart-hinder Racing Saab from his farm where it has been since last fall.
"I have good news and bad news," he said. "The good news is the race car wasn't in the shed when the roof collapsed from the weight of the snow. The bad news is that the car is under a pile of concrete hard snow, so you probably won't see it until spring."
Sorry to hear about the shed, John. Yes, I am glad the racer wasn't in there. Guess we won't be able to fetch it in time to prep it for the Road America race at the end of March. Heck, we probably won't even be able to get at it before some time in April.
