The 2005 SPC Rally |
The Saturn Performance Club is a group of die-hard Saturn enthusiasts dedicated to taking their cars and driving ability to the next level. The annual club rally begins its journey each summer from Chicago, IL, and brings many enthusiastic owners with custom and performance-modified Saturns from all around the U.S. You can take a look at my pictures from previous club rallys in my site's Archives section. |

Missouri, and Kentucky.

And speaking of the track... we all loaded up and started on our trip to US41 Dragway in Morocco Indiana. The group always uses FRS radios to communicate whenever we're on the road, and it makes it a much more enjoyable drive. At the left you can see a vehicle we spotted
on a car
dealer's lot somewhere in rural Indiana. At that moment, a bit of
