"  Steve Millen in the Scion tC.  Good friend of Road &amp;amp;amp; Track, race-car driver Steve Millen, will compete in this year&amp;#039;s Toyota Pro/Celebrity race on Saturday, April 17, the same weekend as the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach IndyCar race. Millen, who is the founder, president and CEO of aftermarket performance specialist Stillen, will be competing in the event for the first time since 1986. The Toyota Pro/Celebrity race, which serves as a charity for several children&amp;#039;s hospitals in the Los Angeles area, pits celebrities against pros, all driving race-prepared Scion tC coupes. The celebrities are given a 30-second head start, after which the pros\u2014which this year include Millen, Formula Drift champion Tanner Foust, former CART champ Jimmy Vasser and actor Keanu Reeves (the returning champion of the celebrity category)\u2014attempt to catch them, pass them and fight for the overall win...all within 10 laps around the 1.97-mile Long Beach street circuit. So how is Millen dealing with switching from his usual rides\u2014including a fire-breathing Ford GT or, more recently in the Targa Newfoundland, a 620-bhp Stillen-prepped all-wheel-drive Nissan GT-R\u2014to the 161-bhp front-wheel-drive Scion tC? After practicing for two days with fellow celebrity/pro drivers around the Streets of Willow, Millen said, &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a different mindset for me, really. All through my IMSA days I liked to brake as late and as deep as possible into corners. But with these cars, there&amp;#039;s a lot more understeer, so I can&amp;#039;t charge in as aggressively.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;But I&amp;#039;m having a lot of fun with the celebrities,&amp;quot; Millen continued. &amp;quot;They really are a neat bunch of people, all very successful at different walks of life. I&amp;#039;ve been giving them a few driving tips, too, so maybe when I try to pass them they&amp;#039;ll let me by,&amp;quot; he joked. &amp;quot;But I do think Foust, Vasser and I are going to have a real good battle!&amp;quot;    No related posts.
