First time AutoX with the Yaris

[Loren]

Don't take it personally. Nothing more boring than an announcer who just blandly calls times over the PA. Gotta have a little fun and stir up some shit. Been there, done that.

Your only recourse is to continue autocrossing, get better, and make them eat their words!

A properly setup Yaris in the hands of a good driver can embarrass a lot of people in a lot of supposedly faster cars. Hell, I even beat MYSELF today! I was co-driving with a newb in a Miata. (stock, worn out shocks, no performance alignment, mediocre tires) Took ONE run in my Yaris and beat my runs in the Miata by over a second.

Yup, keep at it and you'll get to beat some folks down the road. Its even mroe fun in a Yaris. I ran faster than several of the S2000's at their club autoX event last week, and someone sent me some postings from their forum about how they might have to commit Harey Cary after losing to a Yaris. One guy was convinced that my car had to be on nitrous or a swapped motor.
Now that's payback.
