Road America DE in the Rain 10-13
It was cold, my tires were worn and I was stuck behind a Saleen that really was scared. It wa scary, fun and a hell of a way to develop more car control. A Miata driven by an instructor hit the wall atthe kink before the day ended.
As a side note, do not install Porken's :bowdown: new chips just before an event in the rain, I'd have been better off detuned for acclerating. Those things are great! http://youtu.be/seTmc_1CsSI |
Rain is the great equalizer. It quickly reveals the limitations of both man and machine. It is also a great way to practice and learn car control. Glad to see another owner tacking these great cars. Thanks for sharing.

Also..the wet provides -the- most high-value educational experience that a DE day can provide. I spent a whole winter once specifically driving to wet track weekends all over CA with a mentor...learned so much spending SO little on consumables compared to dry conditions...and it pays off later. |
Tires last a LONG time on a wet track. :)

Man, I'd be pissed driving behind that dude, and in the rain. Nice patience!
