El Toro Auto-X: 3/28/10 - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

80.5 was my best, with no cones

The car has a lot more in it, I have to learn to charge the corners harder now. That was really fun, good to see you T Sport!

cali yaris · 03-29-2010, 01:43 AM

also SUPER nice of Lt Noogie

to share driving with JustJesus -- Jesus' car didn't pass tech because of a bent rim.

justjesus · 03-29-2010, 03:33 AM

All I could muster up this time was an 86. Still a little worried about spinning someone else's car.

I'd like to thank a couple of people. Well, everyone for making out. My Pit Crew LOL.

Special thanks to GARM for being cool and letting me borrow his wheels (too bad the fit wasn't good). Thank you, sir.

Special thanks to LONG for not only letting me co-drive his ride, but for going the extra 2 miles (almost literally at El Toro) and getting a 2nd Tech card prior to them closing up...PRIOR TO ME EVEN ASKING HIM (to let me drive)!!! THANKS so much Long.

another good time at the event. I'm beat to hell though. SOOOOO freaking tired.

Hey, i was working the field when you ran your X-runs. Your car sounds HOT.

what kind of times did you post?

This was definitely more exhilarating than Fontana. It's definitely worth the slightly longer drive.

And the schedule says we'll get to do it again first weekend of May (run order pending, but fingers crossed for afternoon runs)

justjesus · 03-30-2010, 04:16 AM

no way man. It was just a hop, skip, and a jump away! (about freakin time)

cali yaris · 03-30-2010, 11:51 AM

I prefer the morning schedule, but it's all good whenever they run us. I will be CSM from now on, so we probably won't run the same group. Maybe I can watch all you guys go by if I work your group, woooooo!!

thanks, 86, that's fast, I do shake off some time every run but only managed 91 on my last x tun. I so regret on getting those cheap all season tyres.

80.5 is lighting quick for a YAIRS on that course, the stiff suspension, slicks, and turbo really pay off, I'm still waiting for the Nitto mid pipe from you

cali yaris · 03-30-2010, 04:36 PM

thanks T sport -- I'm learning, I think the car can do better.

The whine of your supercharger going by was awesome.

Jason@SportsCar · 03-30-2010, 05:24 PM

Sounds like it was a great course, bummed I missed it - and my chance to test out the Corvette.

Nothing like jumping in to the SCCA Solo National Tour in San Diego in a few weeks in a car I have never driven.

I believe I've taken my all season Kumho ASTs to the max. I'm working on getting some real rubber for next time.

My friend came up with me, and was regretting not taking his CRX. :)

Fellas...sorry for delay on pics/video. Not much was done this time, though, as I was a little not-so-happy about not passing tech. Kind of killed my mood. My friend got some pics, but, I'm not sure how much of the Yaris, as he left early for a dinner appointment (the group run was way late).

It was my pleasure. I know I can't blame the car for being slow. Next time, if you have to drive my car, I'm making you run on 3 cylinders.
