2001 Mid Season Updates |

Issue #1 |
Jan 2001 |

Greetings, scR
family, friends, and followers! After a short-yet-restful holiday
season, we are back in full swing preparing for the 2001 ITA road
racing schedule. Here is a brief sampler of what we have in store for
the coming year:
*** While our preliminary 2001 schedule was published in our
end-of-2000 newsletter, there were several inquiries afterwards.
Therefore, here we go again:
May 27 Grattan Raceway Double Regional
July 1 Mid-Ohio Double Regional
July 29 Mid-Ohio Double Regional
September 2 Road Atlanta Double Regional
October 7 Mid-Ohio Single Regional
November 11 Road Atlanta ARRC IT Championship
As you may notice, we have already scratched the May 6th race at IRP.
With any luck, we will be at the track with a '69 Firebird that
weekend instead - but no promises yet. Stay tuned!
*** In reply to the numerous requests we receive for "hey - what parts
do you guys use?" we have teamed up with SPS for the development of
the 2000-2001 SPS full-line color catalog. In this 46-page full-color
brochure not only will you find endless on-track photos of the entire
scR fleet, but also a complete product listing of all the hardware we
use on-track and off. Our racing 'R' logo appears next to each and
every item we have either designed, developed, or utilized on one or
both of our racecars. Intake, exhaust, suspension, and brake parts
are easily identified as 'scR track-approved.'
You can get your catalog copy today by visiting their website at
www.spswebpage.com,
or by calling them at 1-800-632-1059. Be sure to tell them we sent
you, and keep the questions coming!
*** After an entire summer of waiting, team scR has been featured
again in Grassroots Motorsports Magazine. In the latest issue we
explore the braking system in its entirety, from the driver's right
foot to the tire's contact patch. While a departure from our
traditional 'Saturn Performance' angle, the tech info presented can be
applied to any make, model, and year of auto. Enjoy!
For those of you who do not subscribe to GRM (and shame on you if you
don't), you can check out the text version on our website at
www.teamscR.com/grmbrakes.htm.
Better yet, hit

and subscribe!
*** Although we have been receiving rave reviews about our web-based
video collection, we have been requested to help manage the site by
reducing the raw volume of materials available for download. However,
since scR central is now CD-RW equipped, we plan to make larger, more
exciting videos available for public consumption.
Stay tuned for future updates on how to get your very own scR video CD
collection. We are still working out the details, but expect to hear
more this spring. If you have interest, you can contact SPS and place
your advance order now - they would love to be able to gage your
interest.
At the same time, we are trying to 'feel out' the demand for a VHS
version of the same materials. Again, if you would be interested in
such a collection, contact SPS and let them know! The more replies
they receive, the higher the probability you will be watching your
very own copy shortly.
*** Finally, word has it that Mark Rushbrook is secretly toiling away
in a hidden garage with Mark Womack, rapidly preparing an scR-spec ITA
motor for the #21 SC2. As the #21 and #34 cars will be making joint
appearances at nearly all of their events this season, the rest of the
ITA field should be taking note - two are definitely faster than one!
2001 should be the most competitive season yet for Saturn.
All for now - see you at the track!
