Next Car: Lexus LF-A & LF-A Roadster ( and will be Turbocharged Immediately )

Car Passions: I knew from the time I was little that cars were gonna be my whole life. From chopping up my Match Box and Hot Wheels cars as a 5 & 6 year old to design and building of new cars. My parents wanted to kill me,... anyway I guess when I got behind the wheel for the first time in a Go-Cart and kicked everyones butt I was 12 years old and creamed all the adults and college kids by laps. My first car was an 1988 Acura Integra LS; I drove it like a lunatic with all of it's 116hp, WEAK. Anyway I needed way more and bought my first new car after High School 1994 Integra GSR Black of course. The addiction for Real Speed thus began. I now enjoy laying down 2000hp out of my 4-Banger in my Scion tC drag machine running low 7's at 200mph+ , I also began formally Road Racing and Time Trialing in 2007 and I don't think I'll ever stop. Something about these cars accelerating into, through, and liquefying the tires the whole time is just too tempting for me to resist. Developing new ways to make horsepower and lay it down for the wildest G- Experience possible.

Personal Style: Sleek Jeans a Plain Fitted Tank Top and Sneakers but Rockin all of it.

Favourite Band of the Moment: I normally don't listen to the same Artist for more than 1 song a day, I am a music junky.. just no country.

Personal Motto: Go Fast or Go Home!!!

Even though I may or may not be known as Chris Rado the "drag racer", I'm going to shed a little light on another passion of mine - time attack. July 26 th and 27 th was the Redline Time Attack in Nashville, Tennessee at the Nashville Super Speedway. I was super excited as well along with the WORLD Racing team to be going to this event, especially since the at last two consecutive time attack events we had taken 1 st place. I was ready to do it again, and I know the rest of my guys...

A few weeks back, myself and the rest of the WORLD Racing team headed to Atco, New Jersey for the Battle of the Imports. This was our first Battle of the Imports event in almost three years. The team and I had high hopes for this event at our home track. We were going out with a new clutch in the PRO FWD NOS Energy Drink WORLD Racing Scion tC for the first time this year. We had been running a pro-stock style clutch for the last season and a half. As the engine program progressed and got more powerful...

For this first blog of mine, I’m going to talk about a crazy last couple of weeks I’ve had. I feel that this past few weeks will give everyone a good look into my life and who I am. If you don’t know me, hi! My name is Chris Rado. I am the driver for and owner of the WORLD Racing Motorsports team. I’m that guy at that track most likely in a tank top, going fast as hell in a Scion tC, working hard, but playing even harder. After a long couple of weeks in New Jersey, competing...
