Its slippery when wet

and not the fun type of slippery

[spiffyjiff]

seems the radial folks put one of my tires on "backward" by mistake (one rear toyo facing wrong direction). looks like i'l be running in the dry only. unless someone knows a shop near MO that can do a quick tire flip?

i was just worried about my top speed since that one tire will be turning in the opposite direction.

Stay off line!!! The sealant on the normal dry line is like ice when it's wet. Be very careful your first session out in the rain, it will take awhile to figure out where you're supposed to be...but once you do, it's a lot of fun.

Better yet just stick to the grass.

LExington has full service Walmarts and others that can change tyres. It's almost like a real city, only in the middle of no where

There are parts where you have to cross the sealer, and need to be lined up first to go straight across. Saying it's slippery is like saying rain is wet -- it's really slippery on that sealant, especially the right-hander at the end of the back straight.

Also, there's a river that develops across the back straight, but it usually gets worse after it rains, so watch out for that.

M-O is a fun track. More fun when it's dry (but I think of all the times I've gone to M-O, it's only been dry the entire time twice--and once was at the Club Race last year (thank God).

finally got one good "heat cycle" on my hoho rains!
