Rain vs Track Day

Glad it did well!

I found that after driving on track in the rain I feel much more confident on the street in rain in my driving abilities (still I trust no one else in traffic).

On a similar note, you all should read Garth Stein's "The Art of Racing in the Rain" and then hope it gets made into a movie with Dempsey one day.

Rainy track days are hands down the best way to learn car control. Absolutely go in the rain if you can.
