I dunno, he wasn't very social. He did keep revving his car while he was in grid for no reason while it idled for say i dunno 30 minutes. That got irratating. He was eating cones for breakfast.

i think i've found out partially why you'll never fit in at autocross

Don't worry , after a while people will get used to getting beat by a Yaris .

They get used to it, but they never quit bitching about it. I'm okay with that.

Haha wow they gave you a pretty hard time. I went to an auto x event in Vegas just to watch, I wasn't there for the event, I just noticed it going on and wanted to check it out. I talked to the announcer and the people who ran it for a while and they all seemed pretty cool over there and non judgemental.

^Haha

LtNoogie · 10-22-2009, 12:12 AM

LOL, at my last auto-x, they kept calling JustJesus by the wrong name all three runs.

justjesus · 10-22-2009, 09:40 PM

^^ Jason Gamble! LOL

Noogie! ! where have you been?!?!

Morgan · 11-03-2009, 11:00 PM

yeah I was laughed at more than any of you guys... I started in my region in HS on street tires, stock suspension:

and now... mostly people leave me alone:

but dealing with being in a yaris (and being a girl) in a mostly rwd dominated (and male dominated) motorsport was fun to compete in and have the crowd opinion change over the course of the last 2 years. I have people coming up to me in Panama City (~2 hours away from the event site) and ask me if I have some crazy high HP or if I have <insert random engine> and all kinds of rumors about "there's no way she's that fast."

I'm sure the supercharger in most people's minds = 98723423hp but I'd be lucky to press 150 on the dyno, the clout is nice and it sure beats being laughed at, so stick with it and just ignore them, they will be regretting it when you hand it to them in your yaris

Tamago · 11-04-2009, 08:18 AM

I do pack the yaris full of stuff for each event since race tires (thanks tamago
