Sign up, hope to see you there!

 

I'll be there!

 

same day as the BRR event in Salem, which is closer to my school

I promise that one day I will attend an ETR autox. I'm not sure when that day will be though

 

I just signed up.

 

How was it today? We had rain all day in Salem, which made for some interesting action. I discovered that spin out more when its DRY than when its wet

 

I missed it. My alarm clock did not go off.

 

Bet it was wet out there. Coquinn were you able to make a run of it?

 

It was pretty wet when we first got there in the morning w/ a steady light rain. After the day went on though, the rain would come and go. At the end of the first run group (of course the group I was in) was when the rain was the worst. The last runs of the day there was no rain at all, but still a lot of standing water.

Finished sixth overall in RAW time, tenth in PAX. I think it's time to upgrade brake pads and fluid - I'm not able to drive as deep as I want now.

I missed you out there DA, hope to see you at the Walters State event later this month.

 

Congrats on the class win!!

I placed almost identically to you, but I was 7th overall (10th pax and won my class like you though lol). I had a run good enough for top 3 overall going but botched the last section badly and dropped about a second I ran my street tires too, which was interesting with a car setup for the comp rubber (swaybar was set too stiff by 2 holes so the front was pushing like crazy). I was very surprised at how well the Star Specs handled the water though, they gave me a lot of confidence. This ws the first time I've ever run in the rain, so I was extremely cautious and conservative. I know I left seconds on the course strictly based on that. Is it strange that I actually LIKED running in the rain? It really made me pay attention more and I feel like I learned a whole lot more than I normally would if it was dry.

 

I like running the in the rain too! It's working the course and everything else involved in the rain that I don't like.
