Who says a Yaris can't beat an STI or WRX or M3... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Biggie™ · 01-20-2009, 09:30 PM

Here in Utah we don't get to race much durning the winter months. But the kind folks at Miller Motorsports Park do their best to appease our need for speed by holding winter autocross-like events on their world class track. They put up a minimum amount of cones at the entrances of some of the faster corners to keep speeds lower than on a normal open track day, and you star and finish about a quarter mile apart, autocross style with flagger and such.

Anyway, the ol' Yaris didn't do to badly when you look at the cars it was up against.

Yes indeed! I got that tire donut from a claimed 500 hp Mustang that didn't like getting passed during an open track day by a poor little Scrubbing Bubble!

Strange, I changed the link to a post on another forum where the link will actually work.

It was nice, Ken Block came out for a little fun, his is the blue STI with the white DC logos in the video.

Yep, stripped, caged, running 275/35-18 race tires! It is a new race project for a guy that usually drives an 600+ HP turboed NSX time attack car.

Nice looking, Biggie! Cool pics. And hey, you changed your avatar. I first figured out about heel-toeing from that!

Thej3sta2 · 01-21-2009, 02:35 PM

That has got to be a unique mod right there. How loud is it?

If you watch it several more times, the part it's in will seem longer.

Dude, years ago we had a guy bring an odyssey out to auto-x. He beat more than 30% of his fellow competitors.
