The spring change was my idea, to get more rotation. They were consulted for pressure and alignment changes, and were spot on.

Just unloaded the Toyota transporter. No chance of getting everything home in one trip, we brought back twice as many tires as we took, plus a spare engine and trans for the RX-8 we brought back.

The boss is in FLA for Indycar... So we commandeered his office.

Over the weekend Speedcasttv.com posted up the first days races. The SSC Nissan Sentra that we built as a project car a few years back - got the car race ready and on track for $3k - is in this race with Philip Royle driving. He ended his day early after hitting debris and getting two flat tires.

The Yaris did make the intro, around 18sec you catch a shot of it.

If you make it to SEMA make sure to stop by the Toyota booth... You can see the SportsCar Yaris, and get the #99 T-shirt.
