Oh wow, I didn't know YW had a STF thread. I used to post on MI as 2007TRD years ago, here too at some point. I've been competing in SCCA solo for 1.5 years now, in San Diego and now in NorCal. Just finished a back-to-back National Tour (2nd)and Pro Solo (5th)at Crows Landing. Let me know where I can drop a photo of my Sedan.

Drop it right here.. We don't complain about random photo's. unless I have to scroll left or right to see it, then I get frustrated.
WHAT! You and Alvin have been talked about here a couple of time... I root for you guys every time I look at the attendance for the west coast. I finished my National tour here at Dixie back in March. Was able to squeeze a 1st place. Joseph Austin is a damn good driver too. Only if he can pull a clean run. It's either the fastest run or coned run for him, haha. He has come down to our region a couple of times.

Apparently you can't post pictures on here from FB? I don't have a hosting site...
Great job on the Win....or wins shall I say. I see you do really well. Joseph is really cool, he gives good advice and is a real help to the sport and class. Mike H. In his RSX raped us at the Pro, but I Was able to take down a SSP R8 in the bonus round! |

So, I don't know if anyone remembers, but there was a discussion in another thread about the Yaris, Versa, and fit were not listed in the FSP class for SCCA Autocross. They went straight from STF to SMF. Yea, it was back in February. Anywho!
Thanks to Jason and a couple other that schooled me about classes when I said the Yaris goes to FSP for certain modifications, I put in a petition to get them added to the FSP list. 4 months later, they just released the FastTrack rule change. YAY! #16432 Yaris, Fit, Versa Classing Proposal Per the SPAC, add the following new listings in Appendix A, effective immediately upon publication: FSP Honda Fit Nissan Versa (2007-15) Toyota Yaris

OOOOooo... question about your brake pads. I am running the HPS Hawk pads but to be honest, they feel like OEM pads. Hawk doesn't offer HP pads on their website, did you have them custom make them? or do you have to call to special order them? I ask because I just received my $100 certificate from nationals and I have no use for it now.

I ordered my Hawk pads from Amazon, but I think TireRack has them too. They are great, get them up to temp and they stop like crazy.

HAHA, yea, our closest National Tour at Dixie Region is about 3 hours away. So I feel your pain. They have a Match Tour coming up in a week or 2 but due to financials (new puppy), I will skip it this year.

Match tour is like a normal national event on saturday. The winners of each class go against each other on sunday. I don't know how many runs you get but if you hit 1 cone, you are eliminated. So it makes for an interesting winner.
