Well - that was interesting - light mist all day ---- was like balancing an egg and trying to keep the Kraken turbos from kicking in and sending me off track - still knocking the rust off but I didn't finish last this time - and I am getting faster run to run.... I just need to start fast now 🙂 - all in good fun...nice to be driving instead of building all the time!!
Car ran great - did nothing to the setup - drove it there - drove it back.....
Shout out to Logan Ficken for helping with the course during this run -

Awesome - you looked like you were having a blast! I watched a video of your multiple burn outs at the London Cobra show, so I can only imagine you hand your hands full!

Taking a 700(+?) horsepower, ~2,900 lb car with no ABS/TC out in a rainy drizzle....on sealed asphalt that is slicker than oil poop on a DRY summer day, you gotta take the victories where you can!
In todays case....keeping the car pointed the direction you intended, the back of the car behind you at all (most) times, and the tire-frying turbos in check was the victory of the day! I think you should consider a season pass for 2022, and do as many events as possible. Somebody has to keep these Corvettes in check, and it may as well be us in our pair of Daytona Coupes :cool:

Heck, I can't Auto-Cross when it is dry much less when it is wet.
