bringing you a brand-new look...

Only about five years overdue, here is the new-and-improved teamscr.com!  What started in 1997 as the home of the biggest Saturn road racing team in North America has evolved into your comprehensive resource for improved vehicle dynamics and high-performance brake system engineering.  As you can see, this site is still under development, but we are making rapid progress.  (What else would you expect?  We are a race team, after all...) 

Please contact us with feedback and check back often to see the latest improvements.  Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome Saturn race fans!

scR logoOnly about five years overdue, here is the new-and-improved teamscr.com!  What started in 1997 as the home of the biggest Saturn road racing team in North America has evolved into your comprehensive resource for improved vehicle dynamics and high-performance brake system engineering.  Through our open-enrollment engineering seminars and plain-English technical publications, our years of high-performance race engineering experience can help take you from mid-pack to the front of the field in no time at all.

For those die-hard Saturn race fans who continue to turn to us for technical assistance, we have retained all of the race team content from the old teamscr.com.  In our motorsports section you can still find a wealth of information about our cars as they continue to race under new sponsorship (yes, we have kept up with them), our drivers (we tell ourselves that we were real race car drivers before the kids came along), our crew (those selfless, dedicated volunteers who were too easily bribed with promises of Outback Steakhouse), and our vast technical database.  Over twenty years of combined SCCA road racing experience is here at your virtual doorstep.  We hope that you continue to find the material both entertaining and informative.

Our three-way partnership in 2002 and 2003 with SPS racing, R^3 motorsports, and the original team scR provided a couple of knockout race seasons.  So, sit back and surf on.  Get Current News on our various exploits (racing and otherwise), read up on Tech Articles written by people who actually race their cars, peruse our tongue-in-cheek Newsletter Archive, browse our extensive Photo Gallery, watch our action-packed Videos, meet the Drivers and Teams, and get official scR Stuff.  Any way you look at it, if you are a Saturn motorsports enthusiast, there is something here for you.  Thanks for stopping by!

Introduction to Brake Control Systems: ABS, TCS, & ESC

I.D.# C0315, Duration: 2 Days

Once reserved for high-end luxury vehicles, electronic brake control systems are quickly becoming standard equipment on even the most inexpensive cars and trucks. Today, nearly every new vehicle benefits from the optimized braking, enhanced acceleration, or improved stability that these systems provide. This comprehensive seminar introduces participants to the system-level design considerations, vehicle interface requirements, and inevitable performance compromises that must be addressed when implementing these technologies.

Jeff Lawton Sets Record at NHMS
Sunday, 21 September 2008 01:32

The new owner of the #34 ITA Saturn, Jeff Lawton, absolutely destroyed the track record in qualifying at New Hampshire Motor Speedway during the August 23-24 weekend.  Unfortunately, it was not official because it wasn’t in a race.  Nevertheless, NO ITA car had ever before recorded such a time.  The old track record was a 1:15.7 by an NX2000 with 156 HP.  Jeff turned a 1:15.0 and had two other laps in that session that were below the 1:15.7.

Don't believe it?  Check out this video:

Underdrive Pulleys – Our Testing

A few comments from our dyno experiences at Team scR. Since we are allowed to change accessory drive components, we have looked into issue this on more than one occasion. With all of the wild horsepower gains advertised, we figured that it was at least worth a solid investigation. Here’s what we found.
