Default Took my '07 Yaris to the 1/4 mile track...with videos

I took my Yaris LB to Renegade Raceway's 1/4mile track for test & tune night. There wasn't a lot of people there, so I got about 8 runs in. I took out the front passenger and rear seats, spare tire & tools, and just about anything I could quickly get out. I had about 3/4 tank. If I had been thinking I would not have put so much gas in when I got back from the Scion cruise up Mt. St. Helens. I had a lot of fun. Lost every race, but some of the cars I was up against were 13 sec. cars. A stock yaris auto can do the quarter mile in 17.8 sec @ 76.8mph. My best time was 17.356 sec @ 78.46mph. I know I would have done WAY better with Chino's intake, but with my only "performance" mods being the TRD muffler and NST pulley, I say that's not a bad time. I did manage to launch better than all my opponents, always came out of the start line ahead. A co-worker was in the stands and watched me do 3 runs, even managed to get a video. I know I was probably one of the slowest cars there (and the only Toyota brand), but I had a lot of fun and launched really well. And most importantly, it wasn't on the street. Just wanted to see what mods I have done performed at the track. I'm probably not going to go again until I get my Short Ram Intake.

That is probably the slowest drag race I've ever seen . Is your Yaris an auto or manual?

lol, it wasn't a white knuckle drag at all. The slowest I saw was a dodge sprinter van, got like 24 sec on the quarter mile. I have the auto (not really by choice, but it was the only thing available when I got my rare yaris in July of '06.) which helped me launch really well, but the elec. controlled transmission would shift into 3rd and I would loose the "oomph". My 60' time was 2.551
