In! (...finally)

[autoxmax]

I should give this autocross "stuff" a try!

[Ataim]

Yeh, I don't know if anyone is interested but I just bought a GoPro Black addition camera that I'd like to start renting out. I do have the suction cup mount, remote and all the addition stuff. I'm meeting Sammmmmm Sunday morning and can delivery it to the track. I would need you to return it to my house in Haslett (about 15-20 minutes from the track) Lets say 20 bucks for the day. PM me in interested and we can talk.

Thanks

See ya'll there!

[cone-cerned]

My Miata will not be running (well enough) on Sunday. Does anyone have an STR co-drive available?

[onething]

IN!!!

[MugenGS]

Looks like we may need to bring the rain jacket... between 50-90% chance of rain depending on the forecast you look at.

At least it won't be 200 degrees!

I'm in. Still driving the red MINI in Novice STX. Someday I'll bring the Miata.

If I go, you are welcome to codrive. PM me for details.

Based on the current forecast, I'm out, but I'll check again tomorrow. AM T-storms at TMS is just no fun for me. Hopefully they will peter-out sat night.

[BMcCann]

Don't hold your breath. NOAA says 90% overnight and 80% on Sunday before 1pm. Watch out for spinning Genesi...

Yep. Normally don't mind running in the rain, but TMS tends to be zero-grip when there is actual rain (more than sprinkles). With a no T/C car, it'll be an exercise in slo-mo frustration.

We had a rainy SCCA event there last year and the driving part was kind of fun. You certainly had to be on your game.

So no matter how hard it rains the race will go on? No concerns for the corner workers standing in the rain while spinning cars are all around?

As long as there is not lightning the race will go on. I have had to work and race in more deluges than I can remember.

Its fun, makes it harder for the corner workers to run away from you.

I recall last year's event, when it was raining so hard the cones were getting moved by the wakes from the cars. That was too much water for my car to put ANY power down. It was like watching JFo at Mesquite Stadium! Damp isn't bad; pouring rain sucks.

Edit: Dave Finfrock claims the rain will be gone by 8 am Sunday.

[BMcCann]

Let's just be happy there was a scheduling conflict with TMS and this event had to get moved to the bus lot. Out of curiosity, if this event were to happen on the infield, would it still go on as planned if it were raining? Brad, Jerrett, can you chime in?
