From something as simple as race alignments and corner balancing, to full arrive-and-drive,
driver instruction programs, SCR Performance and help you improve your racing results. Far from
"I heard..." type of advice, everything we offer is firsthand experience from our own racing endeavors. Our
advice comes from having tried - and occasionally failed! - solutions to the issues you may have with your
car, or with your driving.
Our motorsports offerings are presented here roughly in order of SCR's involvement, and therefore
approximate cost of the program.
Race Alignments
What works for the street does not work for the racetrack, and vice versa. We have the experience to know
the difference. Many establishments will not do custom alignments beyond factory specs. SCR has the experience
to get your car to where it needs to be for maximum grip, responsiveness, and stability. Once we have your car
aligned, we will save your preferences in our machine for next time.
Corner Weighting
For cars with adjustable suspensions, such as our KW Variant
coilover system, we can use our corner balancing scales to achieve even cornerweights, crossweights and ride heights for
your car. As with our custom alignments, we will save your settings for next time, to make future cornerweights a roll-on,
roll-off experience.
Pre-Race Tech Inspections
SCR Performance is licensed for SCCA PDX/Club Trials tech inspections. We perform this service at our shop,
BEFORE race day, so we can correct any issues that might exist on your car.
While race-day tech inspections are a cursory look at a few key safety items on your car, SCR will do a thorough
evaluation of your vehicle to make sure that it is not only safe, but that it will be capable of finishing an event
without damage. Often, what is "good enough" for the street is woefully inadequate, if not dangerous, for the
race track.
Let us help you make sure that your car leaves the event in the same shape it arrived.
Setup Consultation
The best parts in the world can cause nothing but problems if they aren't set up properly. Need advice on
what ride heights to run? Do you need more bump or rebound to control that turn-in oversteer problem you have?
What do I do in the rain? What changes should I make to run at La Junta versus Hastings versus Road America?
Let SCR guide you in these decisions, as we've answered each one of these questions before for our own race cars -
let our experience guide you. Consults can be as simple as a scheduled phone call, all the way to trackside
feedback from your car.
Race Car Preparation
For those that already own a race car, we can help you with its ongoing care, if you lack the time or skills
for doing all projects on your own. We can do basic post-race set-down maintenance, such as oil changes,
nut-and-bolt checks, and damage repair, and everything in between. Contact Us to discuss
your race car prep needs, and we can design a schedule for you.
Driver Coaching + Instruction
Driver coaches are becoming increasingly common, even at the top levels of motorsport, and it is easy to see why.
Even the best athletes in sports all around the world have coaches to help them stay at the top of their game. SCR
Performance has many years of volunteer instruction, at SCCA Solo, BMW Club solo, BMW Club road race, and PDX/Time Tirals
venues. We draw from this experience to offer our professional coaching services, for when you want to take the next
step and improve your driving.
At its peak, we combine data aquistion with Traqmate dataloggers, and optionally in-car video, followed by post-session
discussion, to help you find extra time on the race track or autocross course. We will ride with you in-car during
autocross runs or track day sessions, and even drive your car for comparison data, if you wish.
Contact Us to schedule driver coaching at upcoming events, as our coaching
schedule is extremely full for 2008.
Trackside Support
SCR can help you with at-the-track duties during the day, even down to simple tasks such as tire changing,
keeping your race car fueled, up to any repairs that need to be done during the race weekend. If you need
a crew member to man the radios, perform tire checks, and other trackside tasks, we can do that, too.
Customers of our trackside support program are given access to our shade awnings, refreshments, and
air conditioned motorhome during the event weekend.
Contact Us to discuss assistance you'd like during track weekends
this year.
Race Car Rental
We currently have two race cars available for rent, depending on driver experience and capability.
Our
318is race car is an excellent novice race car, with
excellent drivability, low power, traditional RWD layout, and lots of grip. It teaches
the fundamentals of proper race driving, without a lot of horsepower to save you from mistakes, or to get you
in high-speed trouble. The 318 is available for SCCA Solo EP, PDX/Time Trials/Track days, and E-Prepared club
racing competition.
For advanced drivers, our Audi A4R race car is available for the upcoming season. This car is a completely prepped, 400hp
rocket, and is an extreme, awesome, adrenaline-inducing
driving experience. Nothing short of a full-blown single-seater offers a more exciting drive. Driver history
and CV will be required to rent the A4R, which is eligible for SCCA ITE club racing, and NASA GTS4 competition.
Also available are a 2005 Mini Cooper S for Time Trials and Club Racing, and a Radical Prosport for Time Trials and
club racing.
Contact Us if you are interested in renting one of our race cars. Not all
race weekends are available, and refundable damage deposits are required.

Arrive-And-Drive Programs
Don't have the time to maintain a race car and prepare it for an event? Perhaps an arrive-and-drive program is for you.
Racing on an arrive-and-drive program is as simple as showing up to the venue. We have arrive-and-drives available
for all skill levels, from novice to expert.
Arrive-And-Drive combines our race car prep, trackside support, driver coaching, and race car rental services into one package.
SCR Performance will take care of the vehicle preparation, towing to the event, and any assistance during the event,
including driver coaching.
If you are renting one of our race cars, your rental fee is included in the arrive-and-drive charge. Further, if
you have a race car but lack the time to prepare it, hand SCR the keys, and we'll have you out on track.
All you have to do is to remember your helmet!
Contact Us to discuss options for an arrive-and-drive program.
