Equipe Rapide (DFW) Autocross #9 & 10, 11/7-8/2009
The last events of the ER season are this weekend, both at Mineral Wells. It is a 2-day event, with each day using a different course, and separate points/registration. You can do either one or both. Many folks choose to enjoy the fall weather and camp-out overnight instead of driving both days. Lotsa fun, whether in a tent, RV, car or nearby motel.
The final event on Sunday is almost sure to have a really fast course, and expect a great turnout as people compete for the season trophies. Two Yarii are in the running for trophies, Lazerdot and myself. I hope we can generate some Yaris presence at these events, since the Honda and Miata folks are having no problem getting their people to attend. www.autocross.com/er |

Results:
1st in ST (3 drivers): Greg Masterman - 08 Yaris, blue 1st in Novice (running ST pax, 17 drivers): Mike McShane - 08 Yaris, white [20th in PAX] Also, Greg is the Year-end Trophy 1st place winner for ST in Equipe Rapide, and I am the second place trophy winner for the year in Novice Class. All of the nay-sayers who claimed the Yaris was not a decent autoX car are being proven wrong. You guys/gals are all sitting on a great car for some weekend racing, but you've got to show up!! Don't buy all those go-fast goodies for nothing, come out and race. :) |

The rest of the story...
Mike was 5 seconds ahead of me, more impressive were the line of Miatas trailing as well. Both of us felt we left 2-3 seconds on the plate. Some practice and different driving techniques will ultimately tell the potential these 'grocery getters' really have. Good job Mike!

Congrats you guys! I just saw this and it sounds like it was fun. I wish I could've been there but my folks put on a garage sale and I was on set-up/take-down duty.
