Flashback Friday: Saturn ICY Racing

Many years ago, Saturn Corporation participated in the Sports Car Club of America racing series. Dave Rosenblum, who ran the Inner City Youth (ICY) Racing Team, ran and managed the team that raced Saturn S-Series coupes, like the modified SC2 you see above. They not only raced, but they won

I remember this well - the earlier cars were sponsored by Valvoline. I still have official Saturn posters that the local dealer never put up on their walls...

I may still have one of the big bore throttle bodies they had on one of their cars sitting around somewhere.

I have a t-shirt from the event. Hoping that Penske allows for (funds) Saturn to participate in more charitable events like this in the future.

D'oh! -- I made the mistake of washing the t-shirt that Dave Rosenblum autographed and his signature washed off. I have two posters of their 91-92 SC and 95-96 SC2.

This one has been hang'n on the garage wall for years.

I managed to pick up a set of the rims they had on the cars they took to car shows and dealerships (OZ Evolutions). The race cars used Revolution racing rims - I was very close to getting a set of them as well.

I've also "driven" one of the old ICY cars... well, steered it as it was towed around a parking lot...

I never even saw the car.

I remember meeting david and checking out his race car. Very cool to jump into SCCA racing and helping inner city kids!
