I told you to bring those tires down, but NOOOOOO, you wouldn't listen to me, huh?

sigh.

I guess I will just burn up my SO2's then. The RA1's are just slicks now.

Doing track days in the rain is good for learning car control etc, but damn I have done that 3 times already.

I have a feeling the SC is not going to add to the fun either.

FATT ended up being dry most of the day.I went with the Victoracers, so I was taking a big chance. But got lucky and got to run on all the sessions going at it fine. Even on the third run, when it started with a drizzle,it was not enough to wet the track. I just went at it hard and the track was holding, so I kept on trucking.

However on the way back, I was suprised to see how wet it got towards Leesburg and into Reston. Wow! I am glad Berryville was dry.

I wish I brought my RA'1s now, the stock tires just didn't feel good after using race rubber. But I did get caught in a downpour on 270 going home, so maybe I made a wise choice.

restonS2000 and a gold 350Z had a great dice in the last run, I took some video from turn 3, I will post some image captures if there are any good ones.

RestonS2000 and a instructor in a Gold 350Z had a nice run together.
