Autocross! (my first time) - Toyota Yaris Forums

I enter it as the Sloyota just to remind people that they got beaten by a slow-ass economy car. Don't kid yourself, the Yaris is slow! But, it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow.

I like the SLeeper tOYOTA idea, though!

The BMW was, I think, a car being prepped for 24 hours of LeMons, I think it's more like an '85 rather than an '01. I rode as a passenger with him on one run, gave him some tips, and he shaved nearly a second off of his next run. I love it when people listen!

The guy who owns the Evo is a newb and just recently bought the car. My buddy, Jeff, co-drove it Sunday and just wasn't used to it. The car needs better tires.

Sabre hit on the key... skill and experience. I've been autocrossing since 1996, and I still only consider myself at about 8.5 on a scale of 1-10.
