What to see how many tC owners do track days or time attack events with their car.

 

Not yet. Planning on it this coming summer.
I didn't want to push it this year since I just got it in August.

 

bump this poll...

that's all the people that have thought of tracking their tC.

Where are all the boosted tC?...

 

bump this poll

why would this be moved?... this a general question of tC owners...

 

not many people track their tC. They stick to dragracing cause it is easy and trendy but fun at times.

Ptuning tracks their tC and I track my xA, their is another group that tracks a tC in Ohio, and Chris Rado tracks his tC also. That's about it. I think there is another guy on here that tracks his tC in Cali too...
It's funny how so many buy racing suspension parts for their tC, but just drive on the street, it really bugs me.

here's one guy

 

bump...

the more response to the poll the better.

 

Just some NASA HPDE events right now. Gotta work my way up. It's so addicting...



blown xa: I'm trying to work the NASA weekend at VIR the weekend around Feb 22nd or so. You gonna be there?

 

very cool...

That's what i am looking for.. owners that will run any type of HPDE (Redline Track event, Speed Ventures) any type of track event.

keep the responses coming in for the poll..

 

I've had my tC (bone stock save for HP+ pads up front, Motul fluid, Goodridge lines and an AEM CAI) on Watkins Glen and Pocono a couple of times (WG twice in 06 and Pocono twice in 07). I was going to run it at the Redline TA at Summit this past fall, but decided to not put any money into the suspension...instead I bought a Miata for track days and autocross. For me the cost of loosing my daily driver due to my own stupidity/lack of talent, or worse yet, someone else's mistake was to high. I bought the Miata because if I wad it up on the track I'm only out a couple grand. Plus the Miata is much more fun on the track. Not that I've had mine more than a week yet and haven't tracked it, but I drove someone's at Pocono, which helped me decide to go this direction.

 

yep a already am planning on being there along with a couple of other scions. Circuit cross i believe is the Sunday of that 3 day event. I might be running my xD though instead of my xA.

 

I will let the pics talk

From show to go, who says you cant have it all????

 

good replys...

now what if.. an aero company.. designs a aero kit that does create down force. that does look good.

Would tC owners be interested in the kit?

bump this poll

 

Yes. People would buy it. But most would not use DF generating aero on actual tracks for actual racing. I wouldn't install it on my car, since I know my tC would hardly get up to enough speed for DF to be a factor. If anyone did need DF help, they are dedicated race cars. Or, for the aero to be a factor it would need to be WoO big..

I will def be attending more track events this upcoming year. I decided not to sell my TC and continue on with it. I will make sure everything will be running in tip top shape so that my chances of components failing during events are slim.

:D

 

Do actual racecars count?

 

I would say hels yas!

And, notice the complete lack of DF creating aero parts! Dan, do you think you would ever need such a thing?

 

Need/want? Sure! However, many racing series don't allow for such things.

 

+1

Pretty much all of the mods are copied (poor copies a lot of times) from motorsport, yet very little people do anything even remotely close to that.

 

I'm sorry, but your tC was many times sexier than before you threw black on it.
