Thanks guys for the comments. Means a lot to me, seriously.

Dzel, that is a great shot. I have about 60 more pics coming from that day.

Here's how todays track day started at VIR. Two nights before they had some what locals said was post to be a dusting that turned into what looked to be 4''. By this afternoon it was mostly gone. Surprised the hell out of me. Temps ended up about 60. Got a hour and half in today. Should be a great day tomorrow. First time being here so I was learning the ropes and so. I'll have video then.

Awesome SPOHN!

I just spent a rainy Sunday morning reading the entire thread. Great read.

Keep it up! The car looks great.

Crazy! Last year my first event of the year had cold dry track, cold rain, full sun, snow, sleet, rain sun in that order.

The sleet was interesting!

You know, the first time I raced in the rain, I was scared as ****. But once you do a WHOLE WEEKEND OF IT, it becomes fun as hell. IMHO.

This all reminds me, a pretty cool guy named Kent who instructs at the event I was at yesterday recommended a book in conversation. The book is called "The Art of Racing in the Rain". It's actually written from the point of view of a dog named Enzo and most of it isn't directly about racing, but supposedly has a lot of good philosophical insights on life, and does occasionally talk about racing in the rain. Quote from Amazon: "Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast. Using the techniques needed on the race track, one can successfully navigate all of life's ordeals." I haven't read it yet, but it's on my list now!
