i worked as scorer for the 7th group, and the puddles had gotten quite a bit
smaller by then. also a lot of AWD cars were running good times.
it was my second event in the rain with my car, and i think with a little
more practice and confidence in it i could have easily been three seconds
faster... round 2 had me pretty scared of it and i tip toed around like a
rookie. that jump didnt like my car so that was another issue. hopefully
it will pay off in faster times when i have traction again.
so i am not surprised that a street tire neon (or ben's capri for that
matter) could be relatively fast. rain makes just SOME of the fast
guys/cars slow. even in my FWD G-stock probe i doubt i could have beaten
mert's time in his stock S2000.
