No creeping at all, the more press the Yaris gets the better

I didn't even realize that and I've seen that pic over a dozen times.

^ as you put in the video's caption thing, you were a bit conservative!

hey, did it slide a little in the wallom? around the 57 second mark?

I like the way your car sounds!!!

xnamerxx · 09-12-2012, 05:28 PM

Yeah I took the wallom way to hot and the car punished me for it.

I was digging the way it sounded too but I kept failing sound so I had to throw a restrictor on it to I'd pass.

From the audio it sounds like the added grip from the Lincoln concrete, and the Toyos, gave you some extra body roll and a lot of inside wheel-spin. It is hard to set a car up for concrete when you don't have it locally. We used to travel a lot of miles getting to events just to work on a natls setup.

xnamerxx · 09-12-2012, 06:10 PM

There is a quite a few things that caused some problems for me that I'm hoping to address in the coming months. The Toyos definitely had way more grip than I was expecting but what was killing me the most was my way overly sprung shocks.

I've always had issues in one way or another with the inside wheel spinning on this car which getting the extra spring out back helped with that but I lost so much control during the transitional elements that I didn't feel very confident in what the car was really able to do. The inside spin wasn't as bad as it was running the softer rear springs but looking at the photos I could probably use more spring overall but I need to do some major work on my driving before I attempt to go there.

that right there, is dedication! I'm sure it's also part of the reason you had so many championships with the RX-8.

It sounds crazy, but we actually spend less money to road race than we did in any of the last five years we did Solo full time. The travel hits your budget harder than the entry fees. When I look back it makes me cringe.
