Jackson-Dawson Scion tC Road Race Car on Display at Toyotafest in Long Beach this Weekend

Grand-Am/ NASA Race Car Adds Unique Element to 13th Annual Show



TORRANCE, Calif. — This Saturday in Long Beach, California, Toyota owners and show attendees in general will get a chance to see the ground-breaking JD Scion tC road race car, up close and personal. Put on by the Toyota Owner’s and Restorer’s Club (TORC), the show makes its 13th straight appearance as the place for all that is Scion, Toyota, and Lexus.



"The show’s a great opportunity for people to see just how hardcore Scion is when it comes to motorsports," said driver and team manager, Dan Gardner. "Thanks go out to Cabe Toyota, one of the show’s sponsors, for bringing us out the event. I think people who haven’t seen the car in person will be surprised at how far we’ve taken it, while at the same time keeping the general platform the same as any tC you can buy from your local dealership."

Thats awesome.... But where in the world did/do you get the intercooler from?

 

We're a factory team. It was produced by TRD. Not available to the public now, but we'll keep you up to date if/when that changes.

 

is this the drag racing tC or another one that will be there?

 

Maybe this will help:

 

Hi Dan. I'm glad to see you're going to make it out to ToyotaFest. I'm in town this weekend, so hopefully we'll get a chance to visit before the end of the show. How's your season going?

Crazy and challenging, but we march on. You should be getting updates, no?

 

Just one. :? I was a little concerned when I was at Wild Pony two weeks ago and Darren and Vicky hadn't heard from you either.

BTW my tC will be at ToyotaFest as well. Check out the new brakes, I shouldn't have any issues braking into "Sunset" next time.

 

Hello Dan, this is Guillermo(Bryan's friend), we meet yesterday, thanks for taking the time answering all of my questions, love the new set-up with the blower and that TRD inter cooler, good luck to you this year and we hope to see new vids of you winning this year, he he, thanks again.

 

You got it. Glad to be of help...thanks for the interest!
