Flash - Per Eklund & Viggen win Pikes Peak, New Record
Posted by Thomas E. Nelson (more from Thomas E. Nelson) on Tue, 4 Jul 2000 21:54:58
Just got home from Pikes Peak a few minutes ago (at about 5:00 PM on the Fourth) having witnessed a great Saab Event! Per Eklund bested the previous Open Class record by approx. 21 seconds (Unofficial time, I believe) as he handily won the Open event here today. The 750 HP Viggen looked and sounded mean and ran strong under the expert touch of Mr. Eklund. Also had a nice chat with Eril Carlsson and Kevin Smith of SCUSA as well as the Saab Pit crew. Said hello to Denise McCluggage before the race and had the special opportunity to watch the Viggen run in the company of Per Eklund's wife, and we also met his very proud daughter. They are looking forward to New York for the SOC and to visit NYC I understand. All in all it was another perfect Colorado day, made even better by the Saab victory. Glad I was able to get down to Pikes Peak since I won't be in New York for the SOC this year. Tom
