So who is Travis Sackwar and Alvin Francisco running a White Yaris that placed 1st and 2nd in San Diego Champ Tour on the first day?

Alvin owns the car and Travis is his codrive.

Alvins not much of a forum guy, so I don't think he'll pop up here.

Car is pretty simply, hes running a 21mm rear bar, and fortune coilovers, and a muffler delete. He's also running Federal 595 RSR tires.

Congrats to Travis and Alvin for the 1-2 finish in STF :)

I don't know andres... The r-comp pixie lady must have sprinkled her dust on these instead of the R1R tires on accedent. I am tempted to get these as well. $65 a tire is pretty damn cheap to test.

No one in STF at SD was running the older tires.

The 2 was on Dunlops
The Yaris on Federals
The Mini on Rivals

For that site Federals at least on paper look like the best choice. If I had to pick a tire though, I would say new Toyos would probably be best.

Congrats indeed.

I was a bit surprised to see Don Green in STF. Co drive with J. Austen, it appears. Don is a pretty decent driver who's had very good results in Stock with the Mini (not sure if it was Austen's or not) over the years.

But cool deal with Travis / Alvin representing the Yaris in STF!

I'm tempted to visit the Pro Solo coming up!!

Like I like Rice said, they're cheap. I have them on my CRX, and have done some autoX as well as a couple of track days. I like them just fine. For the price, I LOVE them.

Somebody at my skill level (bottom of the STC class) might be better off saving money with these, while improving my skill, before stepping up to the more expensive tires.

The other side of that coin, is to get what I know works, and I already have a benchmark (the other STC guys in my class) and can continue to improve my driving. With the R1Rs, on my Civic, I know my car has alot more than I can give it (my co-drive took 3rd in a Pro-Solo).

Day 1 of the ProSolo is starting very excited to be teaching against some fierce competition.

Bad news though the tckline mini sounds like it has a rod knock I really hope I'm wrong about that.

ilikerice · 04-13-2014, 08:14 AM

Good job. That blue mini is joe Austin's.

You guys got 8 runs total... lucky

xnamerxx · 04-13-2014, 09:46 AM

The mini belongs to someone named Christopher Miller. The noise was a bad idler pulley.

xnamerxx · 04-13-2014, 11:56 AM

Getting ready for my last runs, hope I don't embarrass myself.

xnamerxx · 04-13-2014, 01:04 PM

Well finished 6th out of 8 with a 1.5s spread between 1 and 7. If I didnt have a two .95s reaction times I would be going to the challenge. With the reaction time taken into account I had the fastest left side time.

xnamerxx · 04-13-2014, 03:40 PM

ilikerice · 04-13-2014, 04:39 PM

Awesome, congrats man. Scott got you by fractions. Scott was close on my tail the first day also..

xnamerxx · 04-13-2014, 08:19 PM

I would have had him if I pulled a .7 reaction time on either side.

Videos of my fast times.

Got the video fixed

Based on recent results I still think there is a lot to get from the Yaris which in STF prep version my get better power/weight ratio than my Mazda2, enough to compete with the powerful newcomers like the 2.3 Focus and pf course Mazda 3

Do you have documented data on those numbers, like weight and stuff between sedan and hatch ?

Thanks
