Since nobody else wrote about their AX experience at the ORPCA AX this last
sunday, I guess it's up to me. I got up at Odark:30 and it was rainin'.....sigh....but I gotta haul the trailer & set the course up (with some help from my friends), so off we go leaving the shitbox warm & dry in the shop. That was about the last smart thing that I did that day. It quit raining befre I got to PIR and about 8ish the sun actually came out & started drying things off a bit....ya'll know where this in going, right? Sure, off we go to get the effin' car.... Brit & I were in the second run grope. The course was drying nicely as the first group ran.......but there were clouds to the West coming our way. Brit was first out in our group as the weather closed in and got the fast run to that point. It was raining lightly by the time I saddled up.Humm...now I remember why they call them slicks. Halfway thru the run, the clouds opened up.....I hab no top, windshield wipers or other modern conveniences, ya know.....and it's coming down like a cow pissing on a flat rock....a regular frog strangler....so I slither around to a very slow time taking time to hit a cone....I'm coming to the finish when I realise that when I slow down I'm really gonna get wet, so I did and I did.

I don't like the rain either, had some here in morning. It took me
about 9 seconds of driving this year before spinning. At our sunday's event there was a Ford Focus with giant cantilevers and he looped it about 5 times. A good show (since I wasn't on the cone crew at that time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) |
