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."
