Wow! That was an incredible amount of water on some parts of the track. I guess no one had to worry about overheating... :shock: You probably could have towed a skiier... :D

Bert, I hope your dory, eh, Corvette, comes together OK.

It's funnier to watch than it was to drive, for sure.

Water .... yea, try it w/o the benefit of a roof or windsheild .... wish I took video on day # 1, but way too much water to rish the camera ..... side benefit of winsheild is that I could actually see & most likely better than most .... glad I had Hoosier Koni Full Wets :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bert ... if you want to post my video feel free it is your to do as you please.

Nice job in the wet! That track is challenging in the rain and the concrete slurry patches don't help the grip at all. Hunt around and try different lines to find the spots with the most grip. Don't confine yourself to "the dry line." The typical "wet line" isn't always the one with the most grip either.

We didn't have quite as much water on the track last year but you guys may find this SCCA SM race interesting. Basically I drove where the track seemed dryest. The grass was slick :roll:
