Race School with the Yaris - Stratotech, AB

So this last weekend I finally was able to take the Yaris out to the racetrack for the first time. For the last year and a bit I've been helping my friends at Speedway Performance put on lapping events and time attacks at our local track, Stratotech, but never actually been on the track on anything but a John Deer Gator ;P

So when the opportunity to attend the first event of the season, the race school, came up I was all over it. We had a couple hours of classroom work then we hit the track for some drills. After the drills it was mostly just track time with various instructors. All and all I was pretty impressed with the stock Yaris. It gets killed on the straights as expected but in the corners it can hold it's own so long as the driver is doing his job and nailing the right lines and braking correctly. Anyway, here's some pics of the car after I borrowed some wheels from a friend and a few of the track shots.







Here's a fellow student in an NSX...clearly outclassed, if only he'd known red was the faster color.

Outcornered obviously...

The awesome body roll.





Anyway, without the tires I would have been hooped for the most part, but it was still piles of fun and I'm totally hooked. So now I think a few parts will be on order shortly. Rear sway, lsd, and springs/coilovers for a start.
Enjoy the pics. Won't be the last for this year.
