Default Summit in the rain

Post up your Sunday rain videos!

I am not a fan of the rain. Not at all. I find it to be a miserable experience. And the window fogging is debilitating. But I survived it. I don't run in the rain much so I was surprised to get the 2nd fastest time in class and actually started to catch P2. If I had been more aggressive earlier I could have gotten him. But I ended up P3 (only lost one place!) with all the parts on the car I started the race with and 90 minutes on a giant skidpad was probably good for me

Made for a fun video though. Robbie needs to put his up. Hoosier are cheating!

I could see a lot of drivers were having visibility problems, some from fogging up and scary from all the spray. Good for you both going out to drive and podium! Robbie is just a fish, happy in the wet or dry especially sideways!

Was able to watch the Sunday races from the T9 tub. Five SPBs did a spin and go at T9. Must be the legendary mid-engine balance LOL!

The better 944 drivers were ruling it..

I regret the line to get autographed photos at your motor home were just too long, maybe next year you can arrange security to control the mob??

How much would it "weigh" to restore a defroster? Don't all the new [race] cars come with cabin control per the sporting regulations? That said, looks like fun and good job

I apologize for that Dirk. you know I'm always conciliatory to my fans. I had hoped Scott would act as a gatekeeper since he wasn't racing but he proved to be useless once again.

I've asked that very question. 15 lbs. Worth it! Not sure if that's a DIY for me or not. I do think whatever goes in has to have a heat component. Another guy was using a pair of bilge fans but without heat they lost the battle over time.

Great video. But seriously, f**k that. Was visibility as bad in car as it looks on video? Because it looked almost nil.
