In.

Looks like a healthy challenge of a course.

You've seen it before, but it was rainy and I wanted to try it dry.

Thank you from those of us who got dry runs!

One run and done. Still would like to do that course in the dry for 3 runs but it appears to be a rain magnet.

Same here.

I got 2 runs in on Heat 4 then bailed. Literally, I had to bail the car out when I got home after driving thru a downpour on I35! I think the course is jinxed for rain and should be erased from all course design examples.

mmmm...backwards? 1st corner right into the Chicago Box?

+1 more...1 dry run, 1 wet run, went home after it was stopped. Did the event continue after it was stopped for lightning?

Packed up. No course workers and lightening. Hit huge rain and wind in parker county on the way home. 35 mph tow at the end.

So will 4th heater's get free entry to the next event? :D

I'm sure that will happen.

Proof Jimmy Jan needs a vacation: As I was changing tires, JJ pulls his car up onto his trailer. He and passenger place their helmets up on top of the convertible top while still sitting in car. Then unlatch top and start to push it back. Both helmets crash down hitting the trailer and asphalt. Enjoy those V.I. beaches, Jimmy!!

You never know if you don't ask!

It was an enjoyable course in the dry. I'm glad I got out of there when I did (when Brad came on the mic and said there was a weather alert). About 3 miles down the road it got REALLY bad.

In other news, how about Grant Watkins 3rd in PAX in only 2 runs??? That's impressive!!

From Jennifer M. after I asked about 4th heat drivers.

I made a proposal to the Solo Board this morning. Vote passed to give Event #3 4th heat drivers having less than 3 runs a Motorsport Reg credit for 50% of their entry fee. Sherrie L. is our Registrar. She was to contact you & the other drivers involved. Apologies you haven't been contacted yet.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Ran in heat two and it was a hearty challenge for sure. First 4 runs were really difficult with the first 3 being pretty much full wet. Started to dry by run 4. By the 5th run our times were almost 10 seconds faster than the first run, but still several seconds slower than heat 1 and 3 due to wet spots on the track that were tip toe areas.
