I'm there, for sure. Not so sure if I will run, but I'm in. If by some miracle I can find drag radials or better yet some slicks I can borrow, I'll run. I don't think she has much better than mid 13s in her on street tires.

I'll be making it to Vickory day...but not in my DSM.
Saturn of Peoria is sending me up to Cordova in one of their brand new supercharged ION Redlines. These cars are fairly equal to the DSM's in their stock form with 200HP and a 2,950 lb. package weight. Saturn is looking for some exposure and they know there are a lot of people going to Vicary day. I'll be doing my best to make that little Redline run, but I don't expect much better than low 15's.
So I want to hook up with a caravan going north Sunday.
It's pretty cool thought, racing for a company. Wish me luck and no breakage!

Red Line should break into the 14s, especially with 'Kicks at the wheel.
I'm in for sure, currently gutting interior and porting everything I can fit a grinder into, in classic DSM form. Plans for Sunday include 22+ psi, race gas, equal-length half shafts, solid motor mounts, ported manifold and turbo, no interior, locked suspension, and Nitto 555R Drag Radials. Considering I had none of that at Slo-Pny day, and I managed a 13.8, I'll be looking for low 13s. If I can't drop half a second with 8 more psi, traction, and less weight, I have no business being at a racetrack.

I'll go if I can hook a ride from Bloomington. I couldn't possibly fix the tranny leak in time, but I'd like to go watch. Who's goin? Moushon, if you've got an extra seat, I'd like to make dibs.

I'll have to leave the passenger seat in. If you can get from BN to the Paradice by 7am Sunday you can ride with me. But you're taking the seat out when we get there.

Well, I've made arrangements to drive my car because I'll have a passenger with me.
BTW, I'd like to know if alcohol is allowed in the stands? Nothin like a cold one while you're watching the races!

Congrats there Marcus! That's awesome! Hopefully it's a relationship you can build on with them too.
Local Saturn sponsored AWD4Kicks modded Redline is what I'm envisioning down-the-road. I'm wondering if you play your cards right the first couple of times, it could turn into a little light modding and then...
Either way, I'm excited for you there.

Thanks for the support guys.
This however is not a sponsorship but more like a hired driver, which I find just as cool. I work for Saturn and they are utilizing me in my favorite hobby to help showcase their new Redline ION.
Love to drive and up for hire!

Is there anyone in the B/N area that would like to go and watch with me? I'll be driving there anyway with one other person possibly and if anyone else wants to go I'd be glad to take you with. As it is right now, there are two open seats.

So I take it all of you Peoria high rollers are meeting at the Par-a-dice?
