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?

thebarber · 04-05-2011, 10:55 PM

Sweet. A reason to pick up Super Street.

Bluevitz-rs · 04-06-2011, 02:08 PM

Nice. Might have to pick up a copy then.

Jason@SportsCar · 04-06-2011, 09:08 PM

The May 2011 issue of SportsCar magazine, featuring the second installment of the Yaris project, just hit my desk... SCCA members should have it in the next 5-10 days.

You cant.

Membership has its benefits.

You should be able to order one via our website, once it has become a "back issue": http://www.sportscarmag.com/index.asp

A swaybar transfers grip to the opposite end of the car. When you put a big rear bar on you force weight to the front - this can usually be seen on a fwd car when the inside rear tire is in the air. The car weighs X, and now the other three tires are carrying this weight.
On a rwd car a big front bar can be used to try and lift the inside front, this forces weight to the rear, helping acceleration off of the corner.
Picking up a tire is the extreme, but even when this does not happen the bar is always trying to lift the inside tire.

Using a smaller front bar will help keep the inside front tire in contact with the road, and transfer less weight to the rear. The car thinks the rear bar is now bigger. And I have stiff enough springs that it still wont roll excessively.

A smaller front bar is a common mod on a stock class fwd car, it is the only bar you can change, and it really helps a car with an open diff put down power.

A small bar can hurt in slaloms, but you can get that back with more rebound in your shocks.

loren used to disconnect his front bar for auto-x, iirc
