So who's in? Rain or shine. Tell your friends. See ya there!

i wish my miata wasn't running like crap

 

rain or shine? dAMN......u see the forecast yet?

 

Rainy autocrosses are more fun than dry ones. Slippy pavement = better learning experience. Rain removes horsepower from the equation and promotes smooth driving.

Sunday: A chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 8am. Cloudy, with a high near 82. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

We'd stop during the thunderstorms of course.

i just checked it out the weather.. i hope it doesnt rain...im supposed to be getting some r-compunds.....im pretty sure theyll suck in the rain.

 

Depends upon what they are & how much tread is left. My half-used fulltread Toyo RA1's are awesome in the rain.

Jon

 

well see.....im still planning on showing up.

 

Yea I'm telling everyone to c'mon out regardless of the forecast. Hopefully we'll get lucky.
