    Well, 2nd event for the new Prius. First half of the course was uphill which drained the pack early in my runs. Very good course design though. Got 1st in class out of 5, 10th in Pax, 37th overall out of 78. Full results at Brr-scca.org , will post pics soon.

    What was your displayed mpg after the race?

    I once jokingly told someone I could probably go wide open throttle all day and still get 40 mpg.

    For the day it was 36.8mpg over 98 miles. This is driving down, making 4 runs, driving home.

    What sort of mods do you have compared to a stock Gen III?

    I'm curious on why you upgraded the front sway bar instead of adding a rear sway bar. Consensus appears that the Prius benefits most from the rear.

    That is pretty cool, dude. Why no springs / dampers / camber enhancements?
