I had the best time at the Metro NY PCA DE at Pocono Raceway inspite of the rain. I am hooked on DE now. It rained my first 3 runs. On my 4th and last run of the day at 4:30 PM it had stopped raining for a while and the track was somewhat dry and I had my best run of the day. We had two 911's spin. One of them did two 360's barely missing the wall in front of the Pit area on the front straight just as I had made my hard right turn into the north track infield esses course. There was a big puddle of water on that inside corner that forced me to go wider at the apex of that corner than needed to line-up for the next turn. I have a renewed love and respect for my Boxster S. It handled great in the rain even on my Perelli Pzero Ultra High performance summer tires.
