I was supposed to be racing at Willow Springs this weekend but decided to sit this one out. It was raining hard this morning and I would have had a 90 min drive in pouring rain with no windows and no windshield wipers and then raced most of the day in the rain.

I've raced in light rain, fog, and even light snow flurries before but us SoCal drivers don't get a lot of wet driving practice and it looked like a good way to hit someone or go off and damage the car without a lot of benefit.

So, I'll edit a video from December that been waiting for me to have some time to get to it...
