Default 61% chance of rain for my hpde

Should I still pony up the cash to run it? I've never run one in the rain.

I've learned so much at wet track days. Sucks for the non-driving time... but find a way to keep your stuff mostly covered in the pits... and enjoy learning more about your car.

Seriously... 2day event at Watkins Glen in New York... first day... rain/wet all day.... learned so much... 2nd day it was dry and I was flying.

I did that last time. I think I'd rather shave 40lb, have room for my cooler, and follow the people faster than me. Not really sure. Hopefully this will be my last naturally aspirated track day.
