[Fot] Rain Lights at the Mosport

[Jason Sukey]

Last year at MoSport, tech took it very seriously that I did not have a
functioning rain light (or factory running lights).

The inspector had to call over his boss, a special note was sent to race
control, and then I had to promise to remove myself from the track if it
began raining.

Needless to say,  I have a nice little LED lamp to install before heading
up for the Kcup this year!
