Scion Racing

Scion is entering the motorsports arena with Scion Racing and has partnered with Sport Compact drag racing stars Christian Rado of WORLD Racing and Leslie Durst of Horizon Motorsports. Rado and Durst, both 29, will campaign Scion tC competition vehicles in a series of NHRA and NDRA national events in the 2005 and 2006 racing seasons.

Rado's tC is a 2,000-lb., Silver Streak powered by a race-modified 2.7-liter 3RZFE Toyota engine producing 1,200 horsepower on methanol. Details on his Pro FWD Scion racer can be seen on his Web site, www.world-racing.com.

Durst, of Long Beach, Calif., Turbo magazine's 2003 Rookie of the Year, has an All-Motor/Pro Stock class competition tC in the works for the 2006 season. The stock 2.4-liter 2AZFE tC engine has been race-modified to produce approximately 320-hp on methanol. This coupe sports a full tube chassis and when completed, Durst expects the All-Motor / Pro Stock tC to run in the high 9-second range.
