FATT is a single day. You know, 'cause it is Friday At The Track. 
Usually preceeds the two day driving school so depending upon how you slice it, one or three days but not two.

high 38's
my avg. was at 1:50 to 2:00 mark... I believed I once saw a 1:46 but not sure. So tired after the weather beating.Basically dry commute all the way from Lynnwood till I turned into Hwy 18. Then of whole day the track is damp and standing water with mix of scatter shower and hail... as soon as part of the track getting dry a little, it poured.. What pissed me off so much is as soon as you got away from the track, it's sunny! and dry... everywhere but the track.
I had fun nonetheless, but wished I have a few people as crazy as I am (like Mike and RT...etc.) I signed up this day to dail in my new suspension and I didn't do anything. but now I have the real world data of the Dunlop Z1 star spec... probably the best tire I ever driven in rain... I'm pretty much WOT track out on most corners...
The guy with red Noble, white GT3 cup car basically quit running... 2 Ariel Atoms showed up, (both supercharged, one with the front and back wing, epuipped with supercharged K20 R engine!!) they all putting around hoping the sun took over in the afternoon, never happened and they left early too...
There's only 3 cars left at last session, and it poured big time, standing water even on T1, I hydroplan at about 100mph, the big wing helped the car gliding through it... then Don called it quitted after 3 laps.
probably one of the worst track day I've been.

Yeah, I have reason to know that there are worse possible outcomes when it comes to rainy track days.
Ferrand, Ray, et al., next time let's pick a date a little farther in advance. (Preferably one for which I'm actually in the USA....)
Montreal is interesting, but even with the French-speaking it's still not very "foreign".
