Fast cars, emotion, tension and hours of action: Except for mood music, that’s the makings of a feature film-to be fair, one that has already been made, but also one that could be just as successful if filmed again with the same cast.
That cast is Level 5 Motorsports, the team featured in “Daytona Dream,” the 2011 Drive Motion Pictures feature film that chronicled the emotional, action-packed journey of the Scott Tucker-owned team to the Grand-Am series Rolex 24 at Daytona, an institution in American culture far beyond racing circles.

Level 5 Motorsports owner and driver Scott Tucker made history this past weekend when he won his third consecutive title at the SCCA National Championship Runoffs. Only a select few other drivers have ever accomplished the same. In only his third year competing in the race, having as many wins merits an entire page in the history books for Tucker. Here’s the second part of a look back at the rides that made Scott Tucker an historic name at the SCCA Runoffs.

If he were playing hockey, it would be a hat trick. In other sports, perhaps a triple double or a grand slam-although the feat was not impossible, it was rare and evident of a high skill level and elite classification. Scott Tucker made history when he won his third consecutive T1 National Championship at the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) National Championship Runoffs this past weekend.
His six SCCA Runoffs appearances have been good indicators of his improvement as a driver during his young, 6-year-old career. The past three Runoffs championships haven’t been won easily, but instead earned by Tucker’s skillful maneuvering, smart strategizing and an overall enormous drive to win. The 2011 Runoffs were no different, resulting in a suspenseful, action-packed race that wasn’t sure until the very last moments.

Scott Tucker and Level 5 Motorsports plan on making history in this weekend’s SCCA National Championship Runoffs at Road America, as Tucker aims to become one of the very few drivers with three consecutive National Championship titles in one of the country’s most prestigious racing events.
On the heels of a successful weekend in which he clinched back-to-back American Le Mans Series championships following his fourth LMP2 victory of the season, Tucker shifts his focus to Friday’s championship race, which will see the accomplished road racer take the wheel of a specially prepared, Microsoft Office 2010-sponsored Porsche 996 Twin-Turbo.

For the second year in a row, the American Le Mans Series Monterey at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway on the Monterey Peninsula was a six-hour enduro race that led drivers around the circuit into the post-sundown darkness.
Previously, the race had been four hours, with the addition of two extra hours in 2010. For Scott Tucker and his Level 5 Motorsports racing team, the two extra hours allow for some breathing room. “We always try to run a clean race, but little mistakes can add up,” Tucker said last year. “Two extra hours can be a huge advantage even for experienced teams because of those unexpected things you tend to run into with endurance races.”

Whether you drive a Mercedes, a motorbike or a pickup truck, you probably have disc brakes on your vehicle. And even though you probably never think about their function, they are the single most important function on your vehicle. Several kinds of brakes are used in vehicles, mainly the drum and the disk, but disk brakes are used more frequently than others. The braking ability of disk brakes is nonpareil – drum brakes have nothing on the power the former type of brakes provides. The handling capabilities of disc brakes in wet weather is also beyond compare. So why stake your claim in happenstance when you can get a sure thing with this kind of brakes?

Scott Tucker was determined to race Level 5 Motorsports’ new HPD ARX-01g car as soon as he could. That determination was evident when he and his team decided to wait until the last possible minute to make a final decision on the Six Hours of Silverstone race: It was all or nothing. Unfortunately, cost-capped wheels for the car weren’t available in time for Level 5 to maintain its entry in Silverstone; Tucker withdrew. “I knew there was a risk in waiting for the parts, with them not being guaranteed,” Tucker says. “But the car is undoubtedly the best vehicle performance-wise that we can get, so I was determined to give it a shot.
