Re: Fun even in the rain and cold
Thanks to everyone who helped put the event on. It was a good course ... just bad wet pavement . I think it will take a few more hours to get warmed back up, hehe.

Looked like a good event considering the lack of notice Mark had that he was designing course. Thanks again Mark.
Congrats to Kristo for laying the smack down. You know this wouldn't have happened if I would have been driving.

Re: Fun even in the rain and cold
I actually did have a bit of fun at some point in there. I'd always wondered what it was like to sneak a car onto a hockey rink. I think for me this one falls under the category of a bad day dodging cones is still better than any day in the office

Good going, I have done a rain event in my civic too, and it was bad ass even on worn Toyos. 1 wheel drive FTWsentrase wrote:Oh no doubt. I just sneaked one in when the heavy hitter was awaygbwrx wrote: You know this wouldn't have happened if I would have been driving.

Pics from today's event are already in the process of uploading.

For some reason the site is going stupid slow again but hopefully they will be up by around noon tomorrow! (by morning would be awesome, but that may be hoping too much. Although I definitely didn't take many at all! My hands were much warmer in my coat pockets so that is where they were 80% of the event! But I think I still got a few of everyone!
Today's event reminded me to never trust the weatherman.... He's usually a dirty liar...

Well, I didn't enjoy this, but you guys might:

My tires are from the end of last season and I think I will consider them done. I'm surprised they still have rubber left on them after more than a season on a two driver car.

Re: Fun even in the rain and cold
Yeah, that looked like some nice ice racing. I can't imagine the Camaro would have been a lot of fun, but I'm looking forward to Adesa next weekend.
