Last week I headed over to the World Racing shop in Torrance to check with in the guys as they readied Chris Rado's time attack Scion tC for the upcoming season. It turned out the car would actually be seeing some dyno time that day, so the scheduling had worked out perfectly. Chris Rado's exploits have been featured numerous times on Speedhunters
I'll finish up blogging about my recent trip to California with a quick story about the journey from the hotel to the airport this past Monday. The plan was to drop off the NFS Terlingua off at Shelby's LA HQ and take a cab to LAX, but this isn't exactly how things turned out. So here we are parking up the Mustang for another sad good bye
Chris Rado's Scion tC certainly has a lot of people talking this year... Whether it's discussions about the functionality and aesthetics of the fwing, or stories about him lighting up his front wheels in 6th gear on the straight at Nashville, this machine certainly has raised some eyebrows.

Over the last month and a half over at WORLD Motorsports, we have been building all of Scion's display vehicles for the National Auto Shows across the USA. We have designed and built a combination of xB's, xD's, and tC's that will be displayed on racks suspended up in the air at these auto shows. We had to come up with the designs and
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
