Hey, how'd I get drug into this? :lol:
I went off more on the 888's w/ tread than on the bald RA1's.
Casey, you'll be fine on regular tires, it just gets a little hairy sometimes. I have never owned or run a "rain" tire in 5 years of racing.

Seat time, seat time, seat time.

The rest will fall into place.

But the haybales off the last corner can get pretty big, pretty quick...

Don't worry about the hay in the rain...keeping from getting stuck in the mud is a bigger worry ops:

Good input guys, thanks. Guess I'm all out of excuses now, huh? :shock:

Thanks for the compliment....I really didn't do anything special though. I just cut a section of thin sheet aluminum big enough to cover both the radio & a/c holes, superglued it to the back of the bezel, then bolted some flat stock to the factory radio & a/c holes in the dash and shimmed it outwards to put a little pressure on the back of the plate. Pretty straightforward....I'll show you at ECR.

To put it in perspective, the bezel plate only required one beer to get through....troubleshooting the wiring behind it damn near put me in Betty Ford :mrgreen:

Hey Casey,

As I learned from these guys, if you don't drive because of the "rain" it will get you put on The Pussy List!

Sorry buddy, couldn't resist. It is all in jest.

Anyway, Al's response to me was "never miss an opportunity to drive in the rain". And , the look I got from some folks standing around was "that guy is a Pussy.". Henceforth, The Pussy List was born.

You dont understand the benifits of wet driving until you drive in the dry right after your wet track time.
You learn so much. I understand the "not wanting to race in it" mentality, but go out in HPDE at the very least. And never stay home cause its gonna be wet.

[Fbody383]

And never stay home cause its gonna be wet.

You might miss the chance to empty the contents of an EZ Up on one of your racing buddies.

Pretty straightforward....I'll show you at ECR.

Cool; we can compare since I have a 'fixit ticket' to address before I get there.
