F*ck it!!!! If it rains I'm back in. Probably the 318 since the 320 leaks (water inside AND fluids from underneath). The first AutoX I ever went to go watch was in the rain and Trent was driving with his 2002's tail SOOO far out it was awesome! I would just go so I could mess around...not looking to beat anybody in times.

that's what i'm sayin'. what better way to discover your driving skills in the rain than on a controlled course.

This should be fun. and the news only said like half an inch from friday through sunday, so it's not going to be too wet.

DAMN!!!! I wanted HUUUUGE rooster tails coming from the back of the 318.....oh wait...it doesn't make enough torque for that, huh? Oh well, I would be happy with some massive drifting with the open diff out the back.

If it rains, I might bring the 528e.... See how the old lady drives.

OK, so if it doesn't rain I'll sleep in and come by around 9-10ish to support you all that are still running. I might even be able to bring Jason's camcorder to record the events for others to see....

Damn it doesn't look like it's going to rain on the autocross at all now. And here i was all geared up for some fun slippin-n-slidin-n-driftin in the wet and i even have all my rain gear loaded in the car in anticipation of wetness. It's been dry for too long and i want wetness !

I know the feeling Randy. Since it looks like it won't be raining I guess I'm not running. Oh well, I guess I gotta wait until Dec 6 with the newly swapped suspension on the 318!
