Scion South Presents:

Clash of the Scions

This is a SCCA Solo/Autocross event run by the Central Kentucky Sports Car Club of America and sponsored by Scion South.

What is an Autocross?

Autocross events are auto-racing events generally at low to medium speeds. Courses for autocrosses are usually setup on large, flat parking lots. Pylon cones are used to lay out the track.

One car at a time runs the course with one basic goal: complete the course as quick as possible.

All vehicles that enter an autocross have a specific class they run in. However, for this event we will be running a Scion only class. Which means you don’t have worry about competing against anybody but other Scion drivers.

Since autocross is a not for profit event everybody working the course while you are running is a volunteer. This means at some point during the day while you are not running you will be required to work. All Competitors Must Work. Run-work order will be announced at the driver’s meeting, and the worker chief just before the beginning of each heat will announce work assignments. You must check in prior to working.

Working can be to your advantage the best example is: working before you run. If you work before you run, you should have a chance to see other cars run through the course before you run. This might give you the opportunity to avoid making mistakes that others are making before you ever drive the course yourself.

How does the Scion Class work?

With in the Scion Class we will index the times to allow for the differences in tuning and upgrades between Scions. By indexing, we are able to compare a 200hp turbo xA to a bone stock automatic xA or any other Scion. We will need to know ahead of time what type of performance modifications you have done to your Scion for the indexing to work properly, so please register early.

How much does it cost?

Normally a local autocross would cost around $30, but if you are one of the first 15 Scion owners to register, Scion South will pay for your entry fee. That’s right FREE entry for the first 15 Scion owners to register! Which means even if you aren’t the fastest on the track, if you are fast and register quickly you might still win, sort of.

I could easily do this, but I already have plans that day. Hmm.....Might have to change a few things.

 

Plans!! Plans that trump a free autocross, trophies and prizes. What have you got planned. Can I come?

I'm just kidding of course, I would have liked to give everybody a little more notice. To be honest I was kind of waiting to see what date ZPI was going to pick for their Shootout.

Regardless, it would be great to have you come and compete. Even if you can't make it if you know anybody that would like to come help spread the work. We would like to have a big turn out

I will definitely let others know about this.

 

Man, I wish I could come to this.

But I too, have plans. I just want to see how my xB would do and it being a bone stock engine.

 

I've autocrossed a totally bone stock xB before and it was fun. But the problem is that it isn't very competitive with out a lot of mods. Which leads to the other problem of all the those mods bump it up in class making it uncompetitive again. But they are still fun to race and probably just as much fun to watch.

We have set up the class and trophies so that Scions can compete against each other on a little more level playing field. Our main goal however, is to make sure that all the Scion owners have a good time and maybe learn a little more about their car in the process.

 

There are still some spots available.

Our entry list so far is as follows:

Driver/Car/Class

Mark R./tC/HS
Don M./tC/HS
Eric T./tC/STS
Chris K./tC/STS

So there will be plenty of tC competition.

I need some xA and xB people to step-up. There are tons of people out there with go-fast stuff on their xAs and xBs. You know you are out there get signed up, drive for free, win, and take home free stuff.

My G.F. and I are running but not for Scion trophies:

Jonathan S./tC/HS
Raina V./tC/HS

I can't compete since I'm organizing the event and Raina can't compete because she hates seeing guys cry after she beats them.

 

Hey Jonathan have not talk Glenda into racing but we will be there who know she may change her mind. We will see you there. Is Raina going to race the xa?

 

Cool. It should be interesting.

Ha. I'm not sure. I have a feeling she will race the tC since we may not have a chance to prep the xA to her standards.

 

I understand it has to be just right or it will not do LOL talk to you later

 

Sorry one more thing why would she want to mess up her car anyways she has your I don't blame you . You need to have it ready to race beside maybe she just telling you that becourse she just don't want to make you look bad just kidding later

Attention xA and xB owners:

As of 7/23 there are no xAs or xBs entered to race. If you own an xA or xB and you are even somewhat interested in this event get registered.

At this point if you are the only xA or xB to enter and compete you will win your class and the prize and of course you don't have to pay to compete. Yes some of you might have to drive a litter further to get here but, you get to run for free and there is a good chance that you will also walk away with a gift certificate to buy some more upgrades.

So what are you waiting for?

This isn't a trick or marketing gimmick. We just want to see some Scion owners come out and have fun.

 

@#$%, I'll be in Nashville during the event. I really wanted to go. I just ran my first Autocross yesterday in the box and had a lot of fun. Let me know next time you put one of these together.

 

Did you run the Papa Johns event?

 

O.K. help the slow people out I'v try to do this and I can't get a password HELP thank you.

 

Yup, that was me.

 

Cool! My GF and I were driving the silver tC in HS. I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to come over and introduce myself.
