sweet.. I will be watching this again later today.

BTW, My first track day (novice) will be this weekend at Roebling Road Raceway. Tips and suggestions what to bring would be appriciated..

Sofar:
jack and ramp to swap tires during lunch break since its mostly right turns.
Tire temp gauge
Tire pressure gauge

I do not plan on doing alighnment adjustment there. I am not going all out. I am just trying to get some seat time in. I will be with an instructor for the first half definitly. If he likes what I'm doing, I will be able to run solo for the afternoon.

1. Have fun.
2. If you have not done it before, work up to it. Its not a race, just run your pace.
3. Use the cool down lap as a cool down lap, run at a speed that allows you to use the brakes as little as possible, and DO NOT set the parking brake after a track session.

As for tracking the Yaris, it is a short wheelbase car, if things get out of shape it happens quickly. Use slow hands and steady inputs when turning in, too quick and you will upset the car - but if it starts to go, quick hands to save it.
