And fun times at the Marana track! Apparently the longest and fastest one we've had out there all year.

I am superstar of Yaris racing! :biggrin:

Sadly right after this I blew a brakeline and had to discontinue the fun. Did a *cough* pro repair job to limp her home.

Here's hoping Garm sent me out a fresh new set of lines to install this weekend, the car looks so unhappy stuck in the garage.

On a serious note the fact that i'm squealing the RS3s makes me think i'm driving a bit too aggressively and might need to tone it down. Slow is fast right?!

Stock lines or, seeing as you said...Here's hoping Garm sent me out a fresh new set of lines to install this weekend... I'm guessing they were aftermarket. That sucks though.

PS, cool geto patch job with the racing tape :headbang:

Haha yeah they were stainless steel lines, felt my brakes drop to the floor the next race and went "oh crap!". Also nothing can't be repaired with a pair of vice grips and duct tape!

my team always brings the stock lines with them for just such occasion.

Yeah in retrospect I shouldn't have just cut the stock lines out and actually removed the whole assembly. I blame that damn stock welded holder for making me take it out in two pieces! lol live and learn

Pretty clean video and a good run to boot.

Thanks! Even though I have about a dozen events under my belt I know I still have room for improvement. Hope the EVO Phase 1 class i'm going to in October helps out a bit!
