Phil it was so wet Noah in the Ark had the best lap times.and was probbably drier then most. Track was wet slippery and frightening. large number of offs and some unfortunate carnage. Still a bad day at the track is still better then a good day at work.

I thought I saw in the water ponds in the middle of the track a new species of fish that I could market and went off the track for a closer look ...... Tongue

During her run, Mary saw something interesting and went off for a look also!   Grin

Victor, the key word there was 'track'.....it seems to me that Jim stayed on the black stuff and funnily enough it was dryer there than in the infield!!

What are you doing to your tyres Jim?  Painful to listen to!

Bloody freezing and wet day, still loads of fun.  Rain is a great leveler for the front wheel drive cars  Grin

Thats right Evan, the rain does help us out a bit.

I did get some of that drying track but it didnt last for long.

What about the last run of the day. I did get passed by Noah. Next time I'm hiring a Jet Ski for the day and I'll show him around the track!!

And Jim, I know where there's a cheap Alfa Sprint for sale, they go 'faster' in the wet!!!
