This is where my mind is going at this point, as well. Would PCA club races be ok, in your opinion?

I've enjoyed it (in Skippy's cars) and it has increased my chances of winning there. Plan to have a rains set for SPB next season and decide on the spot. It could be a good risk arbitrage play if a lot of drivers OVER-estimate the risks of racing in the rain or are not comfortable straddling the limit with randomly changing grip conditions.

 

In PCA Club Racing the no-contact policy an 13/13 rule makes people relatively risk averse when racing in the rain, however it sometimes does not prevent some folks trying to beat the laws of physics. What you will find is that at the front of the grid there is usually a great sense of co-existence amongst racers. Sometimes not so much in the middle of the field. In essence, it depends on where you qualify.

 

(let me first put an umbrella over my head for the shower of shyte that might rain over me)

If your experience is like what I saw at Sebring a couple of years ago, NO.

It was painful to see cars bouncing off the walls at the front straight like they were pin-*****. Since I didn't know the other drivers well, I stayed in during that session. Glad I did.

However, I must go back to my original post. It all depends on who the other drivers are (and any of us can make mistakes)

13/13 is there to help reign in the red mist but it exists for a reason

 

I typically don't but I did the WRL COTA Enduro in the rain this past weekend. It was interesting being my first w2w race, an enduro, at COTA (which I have lots of lap at), being on track with 77 other cars plus I had never driven the car at all (ex koni challenge ST boxster) before this race which made it interesting.

The lap times were very slow and lots of slipping/sliding and lots of contact in a non-contact series. It was a ton of fun except when my windshield completely fogged on the first day and I was driving blind for about 5 laps. Luckily I didn't hit anything or anyone and ran pretty competitive laps against the leaders/field during my stint. I can say I definitely enjoy driving in the dry much more.

 

Don't listen to Bela 😂😂😂

 

You appear to have forgotten your condescending reply aimed at my first post.

My comment comes from experience of meeting drivers with similar attitudes who have misunderstood the potential risks in the dry. Hence my comment. Maybe I'm wrong in your case, however I fail to see why it required 2 insults from you?

 

That was a hell of an experience. I too, couldn't see a thing Saturday. Spent 1.75 hours of my stint with a squeegee in my hand - clearing the windshield between shifts.
Which Boxster were you in?

 

Steve
He was one of the drivers of my car.
Brandon.

 

I'm a slow learner, maybe you need 3? F you and what you think you know... I PAY for my mistakes and fully realize what I am gambling with. My advice to you is to stop assuming you are smarter than ANY here, but that's just my humble take on it. I don't care if you run an F1 team, means spit to me, until you want to pay my bills you have 0 input, until then your opinion means nothing..

 

cool. Didn't Know you had a 4th.

 

Its always a tough call. Years ago, I would have said heck ya...... rain was such a great way to get a fast result compared to competition, but sadly I can not afford to wreck the car and quickly build another one so for me it's a tough call. So many times, even if you are driving with your wits someone else can quickly cause an incident that totals your car. We get a little sticker at the end of the race weekend, and that is becoming less and less motivating to risk totaling my car and throwing away the hours of work it took to afford it.

 

People were asked for their opinions, I offered mine and you responded.

As people would say near where I'm from "Chill your beans mate!" Sounds like you need a beer
