Please use english next time please LOL.

Sorry I had to bust balls about that one. Last year the test day was a rain event. It ended up being a lot of fun for me because we tested out our Lemon car. It's definitely frustrating when you want to learn how the car handles now that you changed something. Unfortunately the weather is unpredictable so not much you can do there. At least you will learn how it handles in the rain....

the funny thing is if i had a dollar every time some one said some thing about the way i write and spell i would be a rich man !
as i stated 100 times i have dyslexia !
so when you look at numbers and letters only you tend to see many of them in reverse . at times it's only some letters and numbers but other times it's the hold word .
it has nothing to do with how smart you are it has to do with the way your eyes tell your brain what they are seeing .
the worst thing is taking a eye test with all the E's on it . they ask you what way they are pointing up down to the right of left . the up and down ones are fine but the right and left is what gets me . it's pointing right NO left NO right NO left again .
so if you think what a person with dyslixia writeing is hard to read try being the person with it and write .
all i nac say is soyrr for the dab writiegn :) LOL but that's how i see it !

i know how it handles in the rain i did not change the size of my rain tires just my dry slick tires .
so in the wet i know what shocks and springs to run along with anti roll bars .

so i was just looking at the weather again .
they are calling for a wintry mix sleet and freezing rain with a high of 36 F .
i will check the forecast tomorrow to see if things are going to look any better but it's not looking good .

Taken during a trip to VIR a few weeks ago, I was promised sun and a nice track. The track was nice there was sun, but nobody mentioned ice pellets bouncing off the face shield while going down the back straight ...
