Of course, with usual Midwest weather luck, it looks like it will be warm, but raining pretty hard!
Pray for spring. |

be careful of winter track days.
I spent a hundred hours building a 944turbo pca club racer for a friend. he went to a free track appreciation day in january a few years ago it was a nice warm sunny day only the Hoosiers tires don't respond the same to 45ambient as they do to 100 ambient. he was being careful and had warmed the tires up for many laps still when the rear end twitched in a tight corner, the hoosiers didn't re-grip they way they would have in july. car went into a cement wall... he walked away, but the car was totaled I had found the car, helped buy the car, put the cage in, built the suspension, put the seats, belts, and nets in... gone in 3 seconds it wasn't my money, but a waste of a lot of hours. |
