ThunderSport wins at Daytona!

When the checkered flag fell on Sunday's 40-minute sprint, the #42 Saturn Red Line streaked across the start/finish stripe claiming the Touring 3 (T3) class win and Kramer's 42nd career victory.  "This was just a great weekend for us, the car was stout from start to finish and there's no other experience I can think of that compares to being on top of Daytona's high-banks in a racecar," beamed Kramer.  

The #42 Saturn ION Red Line was built at GM's Spring Hill Manufacturing assembly plant in Spring Hill, TN and is supported by:  Kumho Tires, Red Line Oil, and Cobalt Friction Technologies.   Paddock support and overall guidance was provided by Amber Kramer.  Young Jackson Kramer made his first SCCA appearance - meeting new friends in the Daytona garages.

SCCA's Touring 3 class is the racing battleground of America's most popular new performance cars including;  Mazda's RX-8 and Mazdaspeed Miata, BMW's Z4, Subaru's Legacy, Audi's TT, Honda's S2000, Chrysler's Cross Fire, Chevrolet's Cobalt SS Supercharged and Saturn's ION Red Line.

Mike Kramer is a five-time SCCA Southeast Divisional Champion with 42 SCCA National victories.  Each of those 42 wins was earned in a Saturn racecar.  In 2003, he piloted a 1997 Saturn SC2 to the Showroom Stock C (SSC)  SCCA National Championship - a first time achievement for him and the first for a GM front-drive car in SCCA's 40-year history. 

ThunderSport Racing heads to one of the fastest road courses in North America – Nelson Ledges Raceway near Warren, OH – for the Mahoning Valley Memorial Day Dual National.    For more information visit the ThunderSport Racing website at http://www.saturnracer.com.
