Re: Grenada
Im surprisingly not too upset about missing all the Major events this year....
I despise running in rainy conditions... always have.

Re: Grenada
The biggest bummer is that it absolutely kills things socially.
I wish I had a little more tread on what I was driving out on, but not enough to add a set to the budget for early season rain events.
Rain at a pro is pretty exciting because anything can happen.
Car was pretty fun in the wet in Lincoln last year, honestly.

Re: Grenada
Yes it did. The conditions today we're back and forth between a slightly wet cause and a dry one. Not sure which one that had in the group.

Re: Grenada
Frustrating weather and I was super salty about it before driving today. Thank you Jeff for renting out the car again! Arnold and I really enjoyed it.

Re: Grenada
I was in the announce car for 2nd drivers. Rhode and Neilson were 2nd drivers and probably had favorable conditions. Light drizzle. It was raining a bit earlier, but I was in paddock and not sure if that impacted Whitener, McElvey, Hughes, etc.
I'll say this. I went down to Hunstville last week and Brett Hudson in that same car PAX'd Randall, Charles Krampert, etc.

Re: Grenada
Anyway...
Drive - It is a little farther from Knox than Dixie/Peru/Blytheville. However, it is a pretty easy drive. Not a lot of traffic past Nashville.
Courses - A little small, but courses were good pro courses, imo. Woulda been fun if we'd gotten 12 runs in the dry.
Paddock/Site - Layout sucks.
Grenada hospitality - A+. I'll go back just because how they treated us. They had a hospitality building, they gave us a grab bag. City manager and chamber of commerce member spoke to us at the welcome party. I was grabbing food and I thanked the servers and they all were like, "NO! Thank you for coming."
For the event. Weather sucked and that was draining. Combine that with how busy things are at a pro, and it wasn't a very fun social event. When the weather is bad, I REALLY struggle with focusing.

Re: Grenada
Sounds like an event Im glad my car wasn't ready for..
Im at the point that unless I'm high in a points race.. 30% chance of rain or below 60 degrees is a total deterrent to me. It's just not fun to me.
Us East Coasters are really getting the FU in dry events lately...

Re: Grenada
Sounds like it was a clean run and he didn't get slowed enough to go on the proper side of the wall past the finish.
