ive never had a problem driving on my (DOT kumho) race tires to an event.
this included the round 3 storm-bowl at 3COM. driving through the puddles
and driving rain in a car with no windows and no wipers wasnt fun, but even
my big surfboard tires had some resistance to hydroplaning. i repeat:
'SOME' resistance.
if you have the energy to try such a thing, go for it!

I think you can do it, Craig, but what sucks for you, being in the stock
class, is the question of TIRES. Can you make the distance on your race
rubber? That is key.
Jim Ochi and I attempted two events in one day, but because of a
rainstorm, we had to change tires after the NASA event. Meanwhile, Navid
just loaded up his car into his trailer and was off. We were late on
grid at the SFR event, and the jubilation of our NASA victories soon
turned to distant memories, as neither of us could really negotiate the
tight, slippery course at Candlestick Point. It was a complete downer.
After that, we talked about doing a Tri-autox with a bunch of other
sickos at a post autox pizza fest. The discussion itself burned me out.
Think of all the gas you'd be using, all those hours sitting in your
car, and the conversations and gossip you'll miss because you have to
hit the road again.
Yick!

Some of us club-agnostics just want to autox. There's
opportunity this weekend!
There appear to be four(4) events within reach Sunday.
Now doubles are easy, run morning with one group,
afternoon with the other. Triples - I don't know - has
anyone done that - but 4 events!
Possible schedule:
AAS - first run group, 5 runs, work tech for RG2.
SFR - late start and problematic timers make R3W4
realistic.
NASA - later afternoon start at 2:30, no problem.
Fresno - I hope these guys run *really* late
Anyone? CHP schedules?
Craig
