ok, looking at the other videos, the course didn't look as bad as the first time i saw the first video.
Jason, who was that and what car? Sounds pretty good! Namer: not only did you spin, you took those cones good! knocked those suckers down. Man, now i'm getting the itch again. |

As a whole the course wasn't bad, but it didn't flow very well and was very hard to read at speed and the beginning and ending were way to tight.
It didn't help that my tires were pretty cooked after 2 turns and the course wasn't cleaned very well. Yeah I think that spin is what caused my strut to slipr, I have a pretty nasty impact mark on that tire. |

On a related note, I ran a road course autoX yesterday as STF (Grattan Speedway in Belding, MI) and got my ass handed to me by a Mazda 3. Not by a small margin, either. I'm sure there was a large amount of skill difference, but it just seems crazy that a 2.3 liter car (despite being 2900 lbs curb) is in the same class as our little egg.
On a lighter note, the wife came along to spectate and was really excited about it. So much so that she's willing to entertain ideas like performance mods as a worthwhile expenditure on a hobby. =) |

If both cars were properly setup a Yaris would be in the range of 2080~ and the 3 would be in the 2500~. I firmly believe the Yaris will stomp a 3 even though it hasn't worked out quite like that for me |

agreed. I have yet to have a mazda3 beat me in my own class. but the mazdaspeed3 is a beast and I am floored on the handling they have if they run Rcomps

Sorry, was unable to get any video today. Rubber Band trick with the phone just wasn't that good... wasn't able to get the phone positioned correctly to get any good video..
Some National Champs from SC showed up. Was another high horsepower/ RWD course today anyways.. thats, my excuse and im sticking to it.. I came in 4th out of 66 drivers in Pax. I feel I could have shaved another 1/2 second off though.

Ok, so check it.. Guy from our region in Jacksonville made T-shirts for our annual North vs. South Shootout we have every year with the region. Our Jacksonville guys vs the Georgia guys and at the end we see who keeps the trophy. He ended up using the Fit vs Yaris because its usually a battle between us for 1st anyways..

Prepping my car for STF now. Can't resist not running 225s on 7.5" and saving 20lbs doing it. Hopefully the new Goodyear/Dunlop due next year come in a 225/45/15... really don't want to run Hankooks. BF Goodrich is also coming out with what could be an ST candidate as well.

Hope my talk at nationals pushed you to it JK
I was really happy with the R1R's but theres a new crop of tires coming out next year which might overtake the current king the Z2 Star Specs and Re-12's which but nothing is known until they get released but I didn't know about the goodyears finally they release a tire thats worth something. If you feel like sharing :) how do you plan your setup? My shocks are at Bilstein so there will be a baseline once they get completed, since even they didn't know how the HR's are valved. I'll post a dyno once I get them back so at least someone else can get some use out of them. |
