It was a mini yaris meet at the san antonio raceway today.
this timeslip was from the time trial
my time was on the left. 10.998 in the 1/8th mile.
my scan gauge said i shifted at 6127rpm [at least once anyway.]
when i lost in first round i noticed max rpm at 5500 and was .5 seconds slower.
The guy on the right was in a hemi dodge crew cab and he was taking it waaaay too seriously. He had his girlfriend spraying his rear tires for 5 minutes with some sort of traction juice. When the light turned green he bogged it. he later ran a 10.5 and eliminated me because i had a crap response time of .665 on the second pass and he cut a .159 . hemi dodge boy was eliminated in the second round [third pass].
My nearly 70 yr old friend would have won his way into the third round but red lighted. he was running 10.70 in a 4.8l ls1 chevy shortbed.
The mini yaris meet part-- Father /Son both yaris owners from corpus christi were there. sorry i forgot your names.. I'll have to look up the tachometer thread because i could have used one. the dad ran 11.7 at the time trial and dialed in an 11 for the first round but i didn't see what happend.
vital statistics:
my yaris is mostly stock. k&n drop in, 9.5lb enkei rpf1's, NST pulleys, rear seat back removed, spare tire removed. 3/4ths tank of gas, 35lbs of air in the tires, 575 feet above sealevel, on a nice 75 degree texas day..
Of all the folks racing today I'll bet me and the corpus christi dudes were the only ones getting 38.7 mpg on the way home...:smile:
