I know I'm going to regret it, but here I am dead tired after moving crap into my apartment, 4 16" wheels in the trunk (just in case I get some energy), <6 hours of sleep for the past 2 days... I'm going to pass on this one. :( Yeah, I'll regret it. Bad. But I can't justify 4 hours of driving for maybe 10 minutes of driving in the rain and maybe thunder. Someone better take some in-car video!

Oh, and I'm officially 25 today. 8)

Fun event! I gave the car all I had, even droped 1.2 sec on my fifth lap in deep water. Chris you did great, your car was perfect for today.

it was a great course and thanks to everyone that worked hard to put the event on. That said, today was my worse display of "driving" that I have had in years. For some reason either I or the car can't do crap when it's raining!

Yee-haw! That one was a blast! Even if I did get stomped by half of the Novice class.

The event was lots of fun. Brian, Derek, and I had some fun driving home also. One of my faster trips between the tri-cities and Knoxville.

If I felt this way, I would have made it, but I HATE driving in the rain. The only time I enjoyed it was when I co-drove Guffey's Miata.

Hope everyone had fun.

The course was a blast. The rain wasn't that bad. Like Mark said, about the perfect rain for a rain event. I'm reeeeeaaaaal glad I decided to quit running when I did. Not sure the left front wheel bearing would have held together. towards the end of first run group looked like plenty of folks were trying to spin it or win it when the rain came back. :lol:

My return trip was my slowest ever between here and there. 60mph makes for a long trip wondering if the wheel will stay on. It stayed together. whew
