Hello,

My name is Chris. I recently bought an xA for daily use. I have been a long time Celica GT-Four / All-Trac owner, as well as a handful of other Toyota and Nissan.

I'll have pics of my 2006 PW xA soon. Ordered some wheels, intake, exhaust, etc. So far I've found this to be an extremely fun car.

A little about me:
I'm a Professional Driving Instructor out of BeaveRun MotorSports ComPlex in Western PA http://www.beaverun.com I teach any form of motorsports from rally to our very own 007 Experience. We offer quite a bit of training from teenage programs to executive protection for the Dept of Defense. IF there are questions about any training please ask.

To the point:
I am offering a Toyota/Lexus/Scion challenge day Aug 12th. This will include an Auto x and Rally x (for those interested). The cost is $40 pre-registered or $50 at the gate.


I would personally love to meet any and all local ScionLife members!


(Please, I'm new to this forum; if anything is not permitted in my above post, let me know!!!!)


Thanks!! and I guess I'm a newb again.


Any how.. just wanted to drop a line and say hello.

 

slow day?

 

Just thought I'd say hey here as well.....



Perhaps folks are shy?

 

lol

 

 

Wow, I never for the life of me thought I'd see another person from New Castle on this board, and it took almost 2 years! Welcome. I think I've seen your xA around town recently as PW xA's aren't very common. I'm almost positive though I saw your Z the other day headed S on Wilmington road. I had a PW xB up until the end of April. Pretty much stock except for the exhaust which was fairly loud, so you may have seen me too at some point.

Question for you -- what kind of helmet is best for autox/track use like the Flat Out days you guys have? Is open faced ok, or is full faced the preferred way to go? I wear glasses too, so that's a consideration. Having no helmet yet has kept me from trying autox yet this year, so any advice would be appreciated.

 

Hey man!

Hrmm.. don't think I've had the Z up there recently. The Z stays parked inside most of the time.

As far as the helmet, open face is fine. 2000+ is what they have been requiring for track days/open lapping days and auto x has been a mix of things. (our auto x is "low key")

Best is hard to define. I prefer a open face for most (car) motor sports. But, whatever you like to wear would be fine. (as long as up to spec)

Gimme a hollar some time and we can get together and shoot the ****.

Peace.

 

I'm interested in this event. We need some Western PA representation on these boards.

 

Sadly, this event may get cancelled.

I have been offering pre-registration for a while.. and well, the numbers suck.

There were over 100 people that were interested in this event. When the time came to collect money. lol....

SO... I will see what I can do to keep the event running. I may just downsize it.

I've been representing the Western PA scene for years. From multiple Celica Gt-Four, MR2, the Z and now back to Toy land with the iST.

I'd love to see a lot more of you local guys up at the track for the events. It's really a freakin' sweet time; and once you're hooked; you're hooked. ;)


IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED IN ATTENDING THE TLS CHALLENGE DAY, PM or EMAIL ME ASAP!!


Thanks!

 

Shame to hear about the event, I'd opt in if I still had my Scion, but alas . . . We also have a baby due 8/2, so things are on hold in general this year until that all settles down. Still, love to get together sometime and talk, I'll check my schedule and see when I have some freetime -- maybe meet up at King's or Perkins, or wherever's convenient.

 

shoot me a pm and we'll get together sometime.

The event isn't canceled. (yet)
