Hi Dave,
I tried using RainEx on the way back from the Kas Kastner race at Pitt Racew=
ay and it wasn=E2=80=99t fun. I was discussing this with a good friend of mi=
ne this morning and he suggested that the reason we don=E2=80=99t hear about=
 more of this is that most classic car owners don=E2=80=99t drive in the rai=
n on purpose.
I have the bad wheel box out and will have my new one tomorrow morning.=20
Dave Connitt=20
