All of our chassis have reached the age limit for non production/sales units, and will be crushed after the Runoffs. We knew that day would come sooner or later. Both the HP and BS car at this point are going to be two redesigns behind, so Toyota has no reason to keep them out there.

Not sure whats next... Take a break. Find a sedan chassis to put all the parts on (I just like a sedan better than a hatch). Or change to another car altogether. To soon to say for sure.

Got some good news from our friends at Toyota... They are going to let the #99 live for at least a few more months, we get to start the 2015 race season with it. Sounds like we can possibly continue to use it until Toyota's end of year, which comes in April.

Gives us lots of time to work out whats next...

New advice on brake pads! I've been running catbotech XP8, but getting them is becoming hard (MI is out of stock)

I have mine custom cut. Did not like the characteristics of the Carbotech product, so we have www.porterfield-brakes.com cut a set of Hawk DTC-60 pads from another application down to size. Much easier to modulate, and a set will last all season.

So I went to the msx convention and scca banquet this weekend. I leaned a good bit and had fun talking to Andy Hollies after a tire panel where i was asking some questions about pros and cons on tire sizes. He gave me some great advice.

Well at the banquet this year, it was more academy award style system where nominees had videos of thier accomplishments. I found it very entertaining watching Loshak video for the president award where you, Jason, and Lawrence where fighting back and forth. The crowd loved it and i heard some chattering at a couple tables around me about how much of an underdog your yaris is.

Ill be there next year and future years to come. Good luck this year. Cant wait to see the new project unfold.

Just had our final race weekend in the Yaris, taking the pole, both race wins, and resetting the track record at Buttonwillow. Great way to send it off. So far this season: eight Majors wins, six poles, two track records, locked up the Western Conference championship. The new car will have a lot to live up to.



Disassemble has begun.


Cage in the new car should be done, picking it up next week to start transferring the go fast parts.

It has been narrowed down to two possibilities, just waiting for the decision from Toyota.
