Most times I placed more than half-way up the charts, ahead of some far better machines.

If you concentrate on the driving, that is where the competition is, not between vehicles. Just my opinion...

not sure you guys understand how scoring works??

you can't WIN autocross.....

you can WIN your class...

you could have first place in PAX.... (but that's not a win)

or you could have FTD (fastest time of the day).. and that's STILL not a win

but the only WIN is the win you get in your class. to say you car is a top 10 car at autocross.. you'd have to explain that a little better. top 10PAX maybe, top10 RAW TIME?? never gonna happen..

Here in my region, most people only care about OA time. So top 10 would mean RAW time. Yes, i know it's difiicult, but that's why i ask difficult questions. The top 10 pax cars are usually the top 10 OA cars anyway.
Our FTD car is usually a B- Street Prepared car. A 1970 Datsun Z.

And i agree that you can't WIN auto-x. You only "win" when you attend. :)

top 10 raw time:

turbo
limited slip
strip the interior
cut the fenders so you can run a real tire (225 and up)
nice coilovers with custom spring rate (stiffer than is offered for the yaris out of the box)
rear swaybar (leave the front alone)
nice aggressive alignment, shim the rear to get some camber
racing seat with 4/5pt 3" harness
smaller steering wheel








and most importantly... SEAT TIME IN THIS MONSTER!!!!
