Thumbs up I'd be interested...............

but sometime next spring huh? I don't think I've seen only a handful of LB's on the road around here. Maybe by then we can get a bigger crowd.......I'll keep watching this thread for details/updates........

bump for no updates :)

I am starting to see more and more yaris LB's (sry sedan guys but the car doesn't stick out enough for me to glance at and immediately know its a yaris sedan).

Once it warms up I'd say we just all hit up a local cruise spot. There is a thing every thursday night in crete, and I'm sure there are more scattered around the chi area.

k we'll try and stay away from the south side

something west, south, north.. lol wherever, doesnt matter to me i'm all for it.

There may be an event or 2 at union grove dragway that we might want to mob... then we can even have some extremely slow racing action

http://www.greatlakesdragaway.com/in...?page=schedule

one of the fREE nights, or maybe a "fun racing for all" night would be pretty sweet.

there is also http://www.us41dragway.com , and then rt66 in joliet.

GLD is never free. They call it free racing because you only pay the $13 spectator fee. I have gone to opening weekend the past 5 years and it is crowded like OMFG. You wait like 1.5 hour in line to get a run.

I blew up my clutch at 41 a few years back so I have an aversion to it.

Here is an idea though. Usually at the end of march/beginning of april the Chicagoland region scca has a auto-x school for n00bs.

Since its been a few years since I have auto-x'd I figured I would sign up for the school with the Yaris. Its like $100 and there are 2 days of instruction and racing. Fun stuff for sure.

still not bad for $13 :). Alot cheaper than $100 lol

which btw, for the past 2 years I've been up there for most of the import wars, although I wasnt racing, I was in the MECA stereo comp.

edit: 3 years now :)

Sorry to barge in, but I'll wear my Cubs hat...and my Prior jersey.

Hi, all. I'm new here, and new to my Yaris sedan. Just picked it up a week ago, and I LOVE it! I wasn't sure up until the very time I drove off in my new car that I had done the right thing by trading in my GTI. Now, the only thing I miss is the sunroof I had. But, the new car smell is getting me over that quickly.

Seems like a nice site here, and I'm browsing lots of topics for helpful information. Just thought I'd stop in and say hi from the NW burbs.

Thanks all for the welcome. Now, be patient with me if I have a TON of stupid questions to ask....lol. But, I have this weekend off, so I'm going to curl up with my owner's manual and learn about my new toy.
