2011 SCCA Runoffs - Toyota Yaris Forums

Fuel stop in Richfield, UT., just past half way to Denver.

Toyota, please put the V8 back in the 4Runner line... The V6 gets a tiny bit better gas milage, but hates towing up hills.

Only two hours to Elkhart Lake.

Well, I should be suited up and headed to grid... but with three more days of qualifying I think we will sit in the media center and stay dry. It would be fun to try out the rain tire, but the down side could be big.

Super busy week. Doing the day job now, covering the STO/T1 race.

The HP car just does not have the legs to get it done this year. The stock motor we put in offers a lot more tq than the setup we ran last year, so corner exit is great, but it just starts to run out of power about half way down these very long straits.

We are up one spot from last year in qual, so hopefully we can make something happen during the race. Engine work is on the list for this winter.

In other news... Brian Borget was having trouble with his SSC Neon, so we offered him the B-Spec Yaris (which is legal in SSC), and he is going to run it. So this will be the first B-Spec car to race at the Runoffs (or any SCCA National race for that matter). So far this week there has been a lot of interest in the new class, so getting a car on the track for everyone to see is cool.

The SSC race is on Sat at 11:30am Eastern, the HP race is Sun 8:30am Eastern.
