    Almost-rev

    1. Rain
    2. Low tread tires (R compounds)
    3. Pushing too hard in bad conditions



    Yeeha.

      I am sorry, but I'm laughing my ass off. That "hmm" at the end of your slide is hilarious. I woulda been cussing I hate to admit. At myself of course. I'm just jealous you get to be out there all the time having all that fun.

            Nah, turn 9, I clipped the "apex" that had about 4 1/2 inches of standing water.

            Ooops.

            These were full tread RA1's btw.

              Sonofabitch, sonofabitch.

              Damn you traveled far in the grass. I thought it was just about over right after you went into the grass.

              Good to hear not much went wrong.

                  It was actually a pretty good event, had a lot of track time today, 5 25 minute sessions. The later sessions in the day were in the dry, so the track was nice.

                  I actually love running in the wet, I just got a little too agressive and got stupid running through the standing water at the apex.

                          Didn't turn into the spin?.......

                          Nice vid... running the rain teaches you a lot about your car.... esp. if you are pushing it.....

                          I'm sure you know the dry line and the wet line are two different things...

                            You should have yelled "r3v r3v r3v!" as you spun.

                            Remember that for next time.

                              If I would have turned in, I would have hooked it and put it nose first into the bare armco on the other side of the track. I'll take backing it into tires over that any day.

                              That is the "wet" line there btw.
