Autocross Season Cancelled This Year
I checked with Zane (who helped me get started in Autocross) and he said that Boeing isn’t offering their lot for events this year, so without a venue the season is off. Two other organizations are offering events, but those events are run in Bremerton and Packwood, both of which are a long way from here.
In any case, this means I’ve got no season to run. Suddenly I find myself at a crossroads. The whole reason I bought the 900 was for autocross. Now that I’ve got it, and have been driving it regularly, I can’t imagine selling it. But at the same time, I don’t need a third car, even though it’s a great commuter that gets better fuel economy on regular gas than my Volvo does on Premium.
For now, I’m making no decisions.
I did have a fun drive through downtown Seattle the other day… going down Columbia, I bottomed out the front lower frame member when coming across a cross-street going at least the speed limit. It was hilarious.
Don’t talk crazy. If you like it, keep it. Allow yourself to have a little fun. What would you do with the $800 you might be able to get for it? Most likely nothing lasting or enjoyable. Everybody needs a hobby, something they are interested in for fun. The Saab 900 BSOS Racer is that car.
So you bought the car to autocross. If there is not autocross, there is still rallying. Fit a roll cage and hit the forest service roads! Don’t like that idea? Turn it into your track-day car. There are many reasons to keep the 900, but I cannot think of a single good reason to part with it.
agree with previous poster!
