In the spirit of Saab and for the continuation of Saab’s history, I have found another great story to post for my readers. In 1957, a year after SAAB Motors Inc. began selling SAAB’s in the United States, the Great American Mountain Rallye took place in Northern New England where SAAB took first place, in a Saab 93.

[...] Since the Great American Mountain Rally in 1957 with the Saab 93, Saab has had an enthusiastic following in the rally circuit right into the present day. One of the teams that has really spent a lot of time and energy into the rally competition scene, has been the Saabworks Team. Team Saab works is managed by driver and co-driver James Fox and Ethan Maass of New England. If I am correct, I believe they have been in the rally scene before the turn of the century 19XX. I think Saab owners and enthusiasts worldwide owe these folks some great appreciation of the Saab Rally circuit by their continuation of a very long and well respected tradtion of the Saab Rallycross. Excellent job! [...]
