Looks like fun man. I dunno if you can 3Wheel an xA without bags tho, they are really short. and just point it out, in that pic you're almost on 2 wheels.

 

^^It's a lot of fun.
You know some people wish they could go back in time to meet the guy who invented the wheel. I want to meet the guy who put a race tire on the wheel.

 

BTW. xA + race tires = huge fun.

We tossed some Kumho race tires on a bone stock xA about 2 years ago and paxed 1st. And I have to say I think it was more fun than the tC.

That car can dance with the right set of tires. Not sure about 3wheeling but it was a blast to drive.

 

Man, they're fun to drive on street tires! I can't imagine on race tires, esp on a course!

 

That's a cool picture of the tC on 3 wheels. How fast were you going around that turn?

 

Probably not as fast as you would think. Maybe 30-45 mph. With those tires the car will pull 1g or better in the turns.

 

I think the real ? is "How fast were you stopping?"
I love seeing pics of cars being tested.

 

Do you still have the glass roof?

 

Yep. I'm in HS so I can't do much to it.

A different roof would put me in one of the modified classes that I wouldn't stand a chance in.

 

HS? High School??? Heavy Stock?

 

Heavy Slow

 

I really don't know what HS is, so I don't know if you're joking.

 

Super Stock A-H Stock Classes. They don't really stand for anything. S Stock and A Stock are the fastest and everything kind of slows down from there all the way down to H Stock (xA,xB,tC, and others). Then there are Street Prepared, Street Mod, and other classes incase you have added stuff to your car that take it beyond Stock Class rules.

 

So you drive in H Stock?
Wow, this thread has taken a turn for the better, Maybe I should change the name to "AutoX Q & A" thanks man

 

Yep, I'm in HS. I've been autoxing on and off for about 7 years. This is the first full autox season I've had the tC. I've raced the tC in about 30 events this year.

Based on my research, for the tC to be competitive on a national level HS is about it. If you start doing a lot of modifications you will bump yourself into a class that the tC can't be competitive in on a national level.

What I mean by "national level" is taking the car to the national championship event in Topeka or on the national tour. It does not mean that you can't have some success on a local or regional level with a modified tC,xA, or xB. However, as the level compitition increases the Scions have a better chance in stock form.

 

Very good to hear that you're doing well.

I chose STS because I wanted to be able to slap a few mods on the car,... and I figure I can make up the .017 second multiple pretty quick with suspension work and growing some ********* when it comes to turning .

It's just very expensive for the modded guys.. You pretty much have to max out the mods in a particular class to be REALLY competitive in that group... The stock classes are definitley the easiest to do this, but hey, nothing wrong with that.

I just love people bringing heavily modded V8's and literally falling off the track because they can't keep the power in check.

The nationals thing is a tempting offer, but I don't think the TC is the car to use to win STS... and that's the class i'm sorta building for... I don't need to win them all, I just want to kick enough ___ to drive home happy.

 

Here's the results of the last one, sorted by raw time... I cut out the top and bottom.... but just to give you an idea of what kind of cars the tC can hang with.

I have I/Spipe/E... 18's and TERRIBLE tires... as in ... "triangle talon"... chinese POS's... stock suspension.

Johnathan is my friend... he was running race rubber... Brad G. is in my car, and i'm ryan T.

There is no excuse for that cart being that far from the top.

 

Casey, as cute as she is, needs experience.

The cart is also a work-in-progress. It'll work later on

 

Exceot that one^
I've had the *thrill* of racing a cart indoors. Those things are freakin fast, and nimble. The hardest part is getting over the fact that the fuel tank is strapped to the other side of the headrest, and the fuel line is running down the outside of your leg.
