Pro/Celebrity Racer, John Salley, eager for life in fast lane

John Salley has a heck of a time shoehorning his 7-foot frame into the driver’s seat of a Toyota Scion tC.

But that’s the whole point.

“I’m totally hooked on this racing stuff now,” the co-host of Fox Sports Net’s popular “Best Damn Sports Show Period” said as he climbed into his car for practice Tuesday for the Pro/Celebrity race at the 34th Annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. “I got into it when I went to my first Daytona 500 (in February).

Scion announced manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRP) today for the 2009 model year xB urban utility vehicle and tC sports coupe. The xB will arrive at dealerships later this month while the tC will arrive in May.

The base MSRP for the iconic xB is $15,750 when equipped with a five-speed manual transmission and $16,700 for the four-speed automatic with sequential shifting. Prices for both configurations represent an increase of $100 or 0.6 percent.

The tC equipped with a five-speed manual transmission has a base MSRP of $17,000, while the four-speed automatic transmission model carries an MSRP of $17,800.

Chris Rado and the PRO FWD SCION tC add a new record to the books

Chris made his first test pass on Friday which was extremely successful considering all the changes the SCION tC had undergone. “I was very surprised how well the first pass went; usually it takes twenty to thirty runs just to get the car dialed in,” says Chris. “But the WORLD Racing team was pretty dead-on with the initial set-up.”
