Nope, he was being matched to yaris' with rigid chassis, r compounds, and the works i believe. if they had put him in the hs class he prolly would have had a better score

heres from the scca catergory guide:

This is the only category that does not allow competition R-compound tires – only high performance tires with a UTQG treadwear rating of 140 or higher.

lol now i know why my ears are ringing!
i basically put out a lame performance... i had fun but i was dissapointed in my technique. i was pushing too hard in the turns thus losing traction and valuable time, i have to be more smooth and balanced in the turns. i must redeem myself next time, simple as that.

i would also advise while in the meantime, practice tight turns using both hands on the wheel. handwork is vital with the FWD yaris, since most turns will require alot of steering wheel movement.

Yea, try to fight the habit of using the insides of the wheel. I found myself doing it a couple times Also try to get a feel of how much oversteer/understeer you get within the full range of 2nd gear. I kept jerking my wheel cause the tires I put on give me mega oversteer and made it hard to judge the slaloms in the beginning couple of laps :P

yeah and keep the tires at about 40psi to start. as they heat-up lower them if needed after a few runs (hot) untill they no longer raise in pressure. this will give you a good balance between precise steering feel and control (high psi) and better grip (low psi). also depends on tire quality and personal preference. im no expert, just stating what ive learned so far.
