Fit vs. Yaris vs. Versa vs. Scion Track Event, May 11
Cut and paste from : https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...258478#3258478
Attention all you Scion drivers:
My name is Alec Cervenka and I am helping organize the first micro-car track event for 2008 and we need YOU! We already have a number of confirmed Fit and Yaris drivers for the day, but it wouldn't be fair unless we had some competition from our Scion rivals, the xA, xB (v1 and v2) xD, and the tC!
The event will be run by Speed Ventures, which is one of the more established companies for track events in California and we have worked out a plan so that every attendee will have a free transponder with their payment of the track fees. This way we can really see who is the fastest Micro Car out on the track! The track fees will be $150 for the day and this will secure the track so that we can have a Micro Car - centric event.
Track: Streets of Willow
Date: May 11, 2008
Price: $150 per person
So far, we have about 10 confirmed Fit and 10 confirmed Yaris drivers coming to the event and we thought it would be nice to see some competition from the Versa crowd.
Let me know what you guys think and we all hope to see you there!
UPDATE 03/17
The event has changed and is now open to all makes and models. However, if you send me your information, you will be run in the micro class with a transponder included.
The event is now being completely run by Speed Ventures, I will post the registration link as soon as it is available.

Nice! I'll send you the contact information for the main organizer (I'm just second in command doing some foot work for him)
This is great, now we have some Scion action on the track!

Alright, so what I'm going to do is when you say you're in for the track day, I'll put your name on the list for the post in the SoCal forum, which I linked at the top of the first post.

I'm signing up now on the willowsprings website (speedventures). I heard about this event from a Co-worker.
I'm bringing my Honda Fit and not my K20a CRX which should be up and running in time and out of fresh paint. This will be my first road course where I'm the driver, but I've worked pit crew at timeattacks and have years of drag racing experience.
PLEASE do NOT run me off the track during this event. I am willing to bring my slow car out to get my feet wet and stay cautious of this new racing environment.
If you have any questions or need any more information, feel free to E-mail me.

the crx has seen better days...
but will soon come back from the body shop with a slight color change, new bumpers, and every molding new out of the box. BRAND NEW BABY!
but i appreciate the comment. please sign me up for the track event. for some reason, i can not sign up and get the transponder on their site. i want to run in the micro class with the other fit and scion owners.
i also found a really good instructional video for this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8oD2_Dh5e4

I'd totally be down for this, if I lived in Cali.

doesnt look like any of these "micro class" cars have signed up at all.
no other fits, versa, scions, or yaris. the closest thing is a 93 del sol on the list.
OP..... what's the details? you mentioned 20+ confirmed owners.
