No f'ing way, running in the rain is a blast.
I LOVE THE RAIN!!!

Doug doing the rim shot...


I'm loving the ne R888's on the black/silver wheels!

 

Safe to say the car is down on the suspension

 

Doug what kind of speed are you carrying thru the corner?

 

I think you learn more in the rain because you are forced to go a little slower and be better rather than only focusing on speed.

I have no problem with running in the rain other than I don't like having the windows down in it. Ian gave us the option to put them up and use turn signals for a point by instead of hand out the window.

That worked really well actually. I got one point by that way. Oh and turn 8 in the rain has to be taken a bit slower than in the dry

Doug are you going to consider going to the new NJ track to instruct with Ian? I think Ian said he will rent that next year for a few events. That would work out perfect for me, 4th year tracking, 4th new track

I spoke with an Elise owner who lives near there and of course is looking forward to the grand opening in August. He had never been to a track event with another Elise! Hard to believe after all the SCDA events I've seen where there are at least 10. He was really happy to have an Elise driver as his instructor.

 

Good pic of Bob

Event CD ordered!

Doug let me know photo numbers you would like

 

Not really sure about speed. Coming into the corner I would have been in 4th, with a downshift in 3rd, so what speed would I be going in 3rd at say 4 to 5,000 rpms?

What I can say for sure is that is past the apex and the throttle is nearly to the floor. The more yellow/green area on the leeft of the image is the concrete that I'm driving on in the dry track pic. In the rain, you have to stay off that concete patch if you expect toget any traction at all.

 

Bob gave me a good workout for sure!
And for all those people why complain on S-02s in the rain, that is exactly what Bob was on...

Many thanks Ellen!

 

My vote!
The classic into the bus stop shot, ya got to have one of these.

 

I just love this one from 2007, a very, very unususal angle.

Being a photo man I have my own comments about some of those shots, One question I do have is do you know the photographers distance from the track?
