Anyone ever seen a yaris racing at Lemons?

Jason@SportsCar · 11-21-2013, 07:54 PM

Thought about doing that with our soon to be crushed B-Spec car...

You'll have a hard time getting a Yaris to pass tech. With that being said it wouldn't be a bad choice you can get 2+ hours on a stint but you'll be hurting because of a lack of passing ability.

I saw a Kia running Lemons that didn't do half bad, but I'd still pick a BMW or Miata for Lemons, or a Fox body Mustang for Chump if costs were no object LOL

A Yaris will pass tech just fine. You'll get hit with laps in BS inspection or have to run in EC for Chump, but who cares?

You could probably get an Echo into either series pretty easily. I've seen a number of rusty, no-A/C Canadian cars for sale in the SE for Lemony money.

Side topic, is that a custom built Yaris trailer? It is super cool.

No. I was told it was a 1970ish trailer someone bought for some little British roadster. The guy I picked it up from was hauling a Toyota WSR on it. Just big enough for the Yaris.

Seems appropriate enough. This showed up at the Sonoma lemons race. Was doing pretty well tell it came into contact with something hard.
