Day 2 – Thursday, July 16

Many members of the Pilgrimage group went to breakfast on Thursday morning where they met Kevin Litwin, the editor of the local Spring Hill newspaper, Car Country News. Kevin took great interest in the concept of Saturn performance and took the time to interview and photograph many of the enthusiasts that were present. A ¼ page article later appeared in the July 23rd edition of Car Country News. A reprint of this article is available via fax request at 931-486-1101.

Half of our group took a plant tour on Thursday. We drove to the Saturn Welcome Center and enjoyed a bus ride to the plant. We were given the VIP plant tour that included all 3 buildings – powertrain (our favorite,) body systems, and general assembly. We even got to keep our very own "Saturn" safety goggles – a true enthusiast’s fashion statement!

Many thanks to the Saturn team members at the Welcome Center! They made our on-site events go smoothly!

The entrance to the Welcome Center. (Duh.)

The Welcome Center building was originally a horse stable. Now it’s a miniature Saturn museum.

The Saturn plant from the outside. No cameras were allowed inside.

The Northfield complex is across the street from the plant and serves as an administration and training center.

Later that evening, we went to dinner at the Nascar Café in Nashville where we were joined by Thundersport Racing’s Mike Kramer and his awesome family.
