If it's a race, then I'd rather be in the rain because it gives the Duff car a huge advantage. Plus it's fun to get that slide started early and have some fun with it. For HPDE's, I'd rather it be dry, especially if I'm in the right seat. The kink at speed on wet pavement makes me nervous if I'm not holding the wheel.

I don't like spending my whole stint being concerned with just staying on the pavement, which is pretty much what I do in the rain. Even when I'm confident I can keep our car under control, I'm not nearly as confident the other idiots can do the same and not use our car as a brake.

Just make sure you don't run the same stints as me. I am the Rainmaker.

Looking at the weather forecast, I don't think it will matter. Rain all day Saturday.

He could've just turned left instead of circling the track again. But not having traffic is the best time to drive the Electrica.
