Just had a meeting at Toyota, and after went over to Toyota Motorsports to see the toys. Man they have an awesome shop, we could have finished our car way quicker with all the tools they have.

Not a bad collection of cars either.

Green light... Two more Yaris racecars are being built. Luckily for me I dodged the heavy lifting this time, I only had to spec the cars and order some parts. The assembly will be done in-house by Toyota Motorsports - they have one month to get both cars on track.

So the two like new (2008 with 506 miles, and 2009 with 128 miles) 3-door Yari are being dropped off for roll cage installation on Friday. From there back to Toyota for final assembly.

Good news for anyone interested in an SCCA legal roll cage/bar, the shop doing the cages is going to offer a kit once these are done.

Now the fun part... Ordering parts.

^ Heck yeah, that is awesome news. Are they all going to be in the same class as you are?

And yes on the cage

No, these are going to be sort of a middle of the road car - similar to the proposed subcompact spec series. But that is not the reason these are being built, these are for some media/PR stuff, this level of prep just made sense due to cost and quick turn around. Stockish drive-train, new suspension, sticky tires (not full slicks, Goodyear DOT Rs, like your Hoosiers), no interior, mostly just safety upgrades (race seats, harness, fire system, cage).

These could ea$ily be updated to H Prod spec at a later date.

Good info on the "B Spec" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQExl...ayer_embedded#!

I have not seen complete results from the 25 hours, but I know the Honda finished ahead of the Mazda.

The fun stuff comes out to about 10% of the job, the rest would put you to sleep.

The Fit looks big and out of place compared to the 2 and Yaris.
