Random wet track driving video - Me and Andrew
Speed Ventures red group Dec 23, 2012. Me in Crusher (PTC) on full tread 205 RA1's, Andrew Kidd in Trackspeed's Rover (PTE) ahead on 205 Hoosier DOT wets. Instead of running the much faster 240/580/15 Conti Grand AM wets I brought, I thought running on RA1's would equalize us a bit. Turns out Hoosier DOT wets are way faster than RA1's. The closest I ever got was when we left the pits as he puts about 2.5s per lap on me and checks out. Scared myself a few times trying to keep up. Nearly flat through Riverside. Good fun.

very nice video. rain driving flat out separates the boys from men
probably a silly question, but what is that blinking light on the roof? |

It is great to have such a dedicated miata enthusiast on so many miata forums. Keep up the great work Emilio.

Envious - very nice driving on RA1s... still next best to hoosier or conti wets? Waiting for Andrew to post his video. Earlier in the session he was behind me for a few laps but I was clearly holding him up. He says he got one or two laps behind me with Crusher slewing all around trying to open a gap. |
That sounds like a good video. Post it up Andrew.
Love these videos. I'm curious. On average, how many seconds are added with a wet track? |

Love these videos. I'm curious. On average, how many seconds are added with a wet track? Impossible to give a single number - depends on the track, how wet, and what car. My best lap at BW 13CW in Rover in the dry is a 2:01.9, and I had a 2:18.xx in the wet with no changes other than the tires. |
Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

Video's still uploading but it will be live soon. Too much fun.
