I will be there rain or shine as well, but still.... a dry track would be a nice change of pace.

So if I understand this correctly, if we have weather, we will run CW. And since there will certainly be weather that day, we will run CW. Right?

Wait... I have another one....

Does the direction really depend on whether or not we have weather?

I envy you Russ... I am usually only capable of producing this kind of brain farts come TUESDAY morning.

Russ, sorry I omitted some implied detail..., we will have weather, we will also have a direction. Whether it is CW or CCW, will depend on whether we have wet weather. My brain hurts.

If a pun is mightier than the sword, a recursive pun must be worth... a thousand pictures... no, wait.... a thousand swords? OK, never mind!

Seriously, I'm curious about the rationale for not going CW if it rains. Does it have to do with the drivers, or the CW line, or what? I'm not wondering if it's a legit rationale, I just can't figure which variable is the one that applies.

One past concern was the wall at turn 4, it has since been moved. The variable is safety, think of the short braking zone into 15 at speed in the wet.

Another concern with CW in the wet is losing a car coming across the transition or a puddle out of T1 onto the front straight. That wall up there is HARD (so's the low one).

Other than that, a lot of the runoff in other areas is actually safer imo.
