not quite stock, though.. it runs circles around Corvettes and Aston Martins

Having not yet seen an aftermarket lightweight hood we put the stock hood on a diet, cut 9lbs 2oz out of it. Also removed the OE hood latch assembly from the car and replaced it with AeroCatch locks.

We pulled the plug on our BS program right around SEMA. Toyota had no official interest in the class, and the lack of a firm rule set was also a disappointment, so we went to Prod.

Totally understandable, now that Grand-Am has come on board maybe there will be a firmed up set of rules very soon. I still have interset in the Class, but it would have to be with an early car, say '07-'08 for cost reasons. I hope it will fly, just to get back to more of the good old fashion econo-box formula.

Great picture and I see Rado's F-Wing Time Attack car there as well. Chris is an awesome guy and has run with us many times at Road Atlanta! Really like the off-road trucks as well!!!

The 2012 is on display at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. Sitting in the SCCA booth, adjacent to the World Challenge paddock.



Poor kid has to work during spring break.

Jamie's car has been nominated for the Black Magic Shine award from the BFG Super Tour at Buttonwillow. Like it on the SCCA Facebook page.

Nice piece with a little mention of Bestwick's Yaris racing.

If you happen to be watching the Olympics on Aug 10-11 you will hear the voice of (and possible see) Yaris racer Jamie Bestwick, as he covers the BMX and Mountain Biking action for NBC.
