Phil Ethier SAAB ice racer 1972 Norton Johnson photo

            This is the 1963 SAAB 96 850GT I drove in the 1972 ice-racing season.  This picture was taken on Lake Phalen in Saint Paul Minnesota by Norton Johnson.  I bought the car, complete with roll cage, from Tom Lucore in Cedar Rapids Iowa for $125.  Tom had driven it in Mini Stock events on dirt ovals, where it was succesful against larger-engined RWD cars.  I never rolled this car, but the right front was damaged in Gimili Manitoba when a Mini backed into my line.  The car was repaired for the following season, but I became a "car owner" while it was driven by British rally navigator John Dymond.

This is a home scan of the 8 x 10 that Norton gave me in 1972.

Taken on: January 1, 1972
