LOL, Joe, did you also spin the prior lap?

I am racing fresh NT-01's this weekend at Road Atlanta.
I'll report. The NT01's will be my DE, rain and street tire for CA.

I'll be very careful because the car needs to be in CA in 3 weeks, but I think my non power steering RSA will be a handful.
I drove in heavy rain, in the dark for 2 hours at Sebring on very old street tires and managed to not crash, so I'm hopeful

Lol! If you are referring to the mud lines that project my exact line off of the track prior to the actual occurrence, no. Let's just say many others suffered the same fate that day. Lmao!

Rain is very rare down here in So Cal, especially once you get into May and beyond. It's the Nor Cal guys that have to deal with more rain, sound limits at their tracks, and tracks with a bunch of walls.

other than rolling over, you do all of above in dry pavement as well

Joe - you just had a big "sigh" after the mud bath.... different words wouldve came out of my mouth with a lot of split flying out. Glad it was just a slide into the mud... be careful out there my friend. Im a slow driver. But i like to look good out there. I wax and wipe my car after every session. Ask mooty - he saw me cleaning my car after a session.. he had a confused look..

Rain in CA, Rain on track - i'm aquaphobic. I crashed many years ago on bald tires in heavy rain. No money for new tires. Poor kid growing up. Hydroplaning on freeway is not fun at all. Did a 360 on freeway.. hit a off ramp rail... i found out i pissed on myself. - first word that came out of my mouth "#@%$@^%#@^%#@^$#@$^"

Joe that is why I have 4WD Porsche

orthojoe

Lol. Me and my buddies have done so many 360s in that car at this point, the "sigh" more like "yup. Again." Lol Let me tell you how to spin out in a 4wd Porsche. First of all, you go full throttle through turn.....

mooty
