6 Yarii at today's autocross at the California Speedway

[Loren]

Noog, I was the chairman for this event, and 35-40 seconds was the target. You see, we didn't just get 7 runs, we got closer to 20!

I set up two separate courses, one for competition and one for practice. We split into 3 groups so that one was driving the comp course, one was working the comp course and the other was "fun-running" the practice course at all times.

So, yeah, the courses were a little short, but we used up a lot of rubber! Most drivers got 10 runs on the comp course. I only got 9 because I was co-driving, which made it harder for us to hustle and get in line to run as much as the single-driver cars did. I didn't count my practice runs, but I think I took at least 3 in my car, one each in a pseudo STi (JDM-swapped WRX), a turbo 240SX (redeemed former drift car), a VW Golf, an Acura Integra and a Z06 (which I spun spectacularly right before the finish after completing an otherwise acceptable run).

BTW, the STi driver and the Z06 driver each took a run in the Yaris and both came back smiling and complementing the handling and responsiveness.
