Do you have any plans to run this at Portland International Raceway this summer by chance?

I would love to hit the 4th of July double national (if they have it this year), but the budget may not allow it.

Next up is Buttonwillow at the end of the month.

We could have a bake sale fundraiser or something I'd drive the 5 hours to Portland to see this car race!

Go pick up the May 2011 issue of Super Street, lots of great shots of all three of the Yaris race cars from the Sony PlayStation GT5 event.

Is it just pictures or is there an article in there too?

There are four pages talking about GT5 and the Yaris Club Sport Challenge - which used the other two Yaris race cars (#98 & #20), including details on the cars. There is no coverage of the HP car (#99), because we did not let the press play with it, only the guys from Toyota, JGR and Sony got to drive it. Lots of pics of all three.

This coming weekend (April 30-May 1) is the Cal Club SCCA Double National and BFGoodrich Tires Super Tour at Buttonwillow Raceway Park.

Saturday is a standard National Club race, but on Sunday things get turned up a notch thanks to BFG. The Super Tour is like a traveling version of the National Championship Runoffs - it features live timing and scoring (via the web), enhanced race coverage (both on site and in publication), and the most important part, the champagne shower on the podium.

We thought we might get as many as eight HP cars, but the Honda Fit is currently MIA, and one of the front runners from Norcal had to pull out at the last minute. It should still be an exciting race, Gary Wittman (the Austin Healey I was trading paint with at Willow Springs) will be there - and both of us have been working in the garage to find more speed. There are a number of other British roadsters, and Cory Markos in his Honda Civic. Its going to be fun.

If you can't make it out follow the link at scca.com for live scoring on Sunday. We are race group 4, and should be on track around 1:50pm.
