2012 SCCA Runoffs - Toyota Yaris Forums

Jason@SportsCar · 09-12-2012, 04:31 PM

Almost time for the SCCA National Championship Runoffs at Road America in Elkhart, Wis.

This year we are doubling our efforts, taking both cars out for a run at the H Production podium. We have a test day on Sept 17th, then qualify on the 20th, 21st and 22nd, with the race on Sunday the 23rd at 8:30am.

Currently there are 20 cars in the H Prod class, so it should be a great race. With the new engine setup, close-ratio trans and a few other tweaks we think the cars will be a lot more competitive - but truthfully we would settle for backing up last years podium finish.

Just got the cars loaded up in the Toyota transporter today, along with a few racecars some friends are running in other classes. Cant wait to get out there.

For those not in the area you can all of the Runoffs action live on Speedcast TV: http://speedcasttv.com/scca/

You'll be in WI for that race? I very well may be making the hour drive north to come visit!

Yes, just look for the Toyota transporter in the West Paddock.

Is it somewhat closed off, or will I be able to come take a look at the cars and say hi?

Not closed off at all - the only thing you can not get on is the track or hot pits. Come check them out, we will also have Jamie Bestwick (driving the 29) with us (if you are a BMX/X-Games/Dew Tour fan).

I am a fan, but I don't follow that close, so the name isn't familiar.

What are your guys' plans during the downtime throughout the week?

Stoked to get to see your cars, would love to get a bit of input from you in person about mine if you have time!

We actually don't have much down time, there always seems to be something to do to the cars, and we actually have a third car in another class with us... And when we are not on track we will be working, covering a number of the other classes/races for SportsCar mag.

That's a bit of a bummer, but it sounds like you guys have done a LOT of work and preparing for this week. I'm really excited to see the fruits of your labor!

When would be the best day to come and see it? I won't be able to come Friday or Saturday, I have friends coming to town for a birthday party, but Monday, Thursday, or Sunday should all be free.

Monday and Sunday are busy days for us, the rest are less so. If you come on Thursday you can see it in the paddock and on track, we Qual at 5:45pm.

suckerface · 09-12-2012, 05:12 PM

Fantastic, that'll give me an excuse to leave work early! I'll see if I can get my buddy around or out of class to tag along, I'm sure he'd love to see it too.

fnkngrv · 09-12-2012, 09:52 PM

Best of luck Bud! Gotta love an H/P or H/PS from Toyota goin for it again! Will def try to catch it on the tube.

Great way to start my trip.. American lands late in Chicago and I miss my flight to Milwaukee. Got a later flight on another airline, but so much for getting out to the track and preparing for the test day tomorrow. Hope this is the only hiccup this week.

fnkngrv · 09-16-2012, 05:43 PM

^ sucks dude...best of luck with at least getting there!

Jason@SportsCar · 09-21-2012, 11:06 AM

Had a good test day on Monday, and a good qual session yesterday. Currently sitting 4th, just over a tenth out of second. Bestwick made his first laps here in the Yaris yesterday and is 17th. Our qual was cut to four laps after a Miata blew its engine. Back on track today at 5pm.

fnkngrv · 09-21-2012, 11:41 AM

take no prisoners!

Jason@SportsCar · 09-22-2012, 08:14 AM

Qual 2 went great. I got the 99 car down to a 2:44 (4 sec quicker than last year) and am currently 5th in class. Jamie is running a respectable 2:49 and is 10th, not bad for his first race weekend here. We go out at 8:30a for our final qual session.

^ Good luck today, go get 'em!
