Autocrossing in the wet is a great way to work on your car control at a safer speed.
Usually they require you to have your windows rolled down in competition but I bet they allowed it in this case. Your car would have flooded from the looks of the weather there!

I love racing in the rain! Takes away the horsepower and tire advantage, giving a fairly level playing field that you just can't find on dry pavement.
Get those parts installed, then try it again for even more enjoyment. You're going to want Respeed's front swaybar too, and once you get that you can reinstall the stock rear bar and it won't mess you up anymore.

Car is 95% ready for action. Should be all set by the time of the 1st race, just need to install a few more bolts on the body panels and install the passenger side headlight and tail light. Looking forward to racing with you when you aren't driving Nissan Versa rental car!

They have them at the Oakland coliseum and there's some coming up at great america early February. Check out this web site for the schedule, www.sfrscca.org, www.baautox.com
All you really do is show up with like $50 and you get like a day pass if you dont have the scca license. I was surprised how easy and laid back it was. It really helps to learn the track if you can ask some one for a ride along before
I hope i can get my suspension dialed in before than. I have a two day weekend and theres been some good sun shine lately
