That's exactly what I mean. Tuner shops and privateers, not factory-backed race teams.

You do not need to have a NASA or SCCA license to compete. I believe you are required to attend the Redline Track Events drivers school or maybe just the drivers meeting prior to getting on the track.

I encourage everyone interested in tracking their car to enter the event next year. We will make an effort to attend most of the events on the East Coast next season, so if you're planning to run in any of these events, you're welcome to pit with us.

Note: Tires and brakes are critical on a road coarse. I recommend you run at least a mild race-compound pad with DOT4 fluid, eg. Motul RF600 or ATE Super Blue/Gold or something comparable. And get a new set of tire(the stickiest tire permitted in your class), definitely no old tires with a plug or patch. And if possible, drain your radiator fluid and run straight distill water.

Hopefully, we'll see more Scions on the track next year.

The PTuning crew did awsome, and they helped me out very much for this event. Next year I am looking forward to attendending more time attacks with them.
here's a video of me chasing a Z and S2000, the S200 was street tires and the Z was modified class.

Deffinetly awesome!!

Only issue is it shows the not so great handling of the tC. The tC was wide in every turn and barely ever could take the true apex of the turb. Where as the chase car was on it every turn. The tC hit dirt, when it should have been much further down the track.

Not trying to take away from what you have done, but pointing out the fact, that the tC isnt the ultimate handling car so many think it is.

Good work!!!!!!!! MORE VIDEOS!!!!

Oh I am deffinetly not knocking it. But alot of people are posting about how its pulling away from the camera car and all. But you can tell the camera car is letting off in order to not pass.
The video makes it look like it is out running an STI. Just wanted to poit out it isnt.
