Track Day with light rain
I registered for a track day and it's to go rain or shine, and the forecast recently changed to show "light rain" on this Sunday.
Have any of you tracked your C7 in the rain? Do you just put it in weather mode and not drive at 100%

Sounds like fun what level to you drive? Do you take your car stock or do you change to different brakes, wheels and wheel alignment for the track.

I'm juniorish - I have some experience (level 1 spring mountain + a few days at the local track), but I just drive it with stock everything.

Many track day guys would say that driving in the rain is perhaps the best way to learn your way around a track. It forces you to slow way down and work on improving your car control.
I don't have my C7 yet but had lots of fun on wet tracks with my Mustang Cobra over the years.
Put that bad boy in weather mode, slow down your steering, throttle and brake inputs and have fun.

Achmed - What track will you visit this weekend? I just purchased a LB 2015 Z51 3LT. I am talking with friends about driving at the track day in early December at Spring Mountain. I had a 2004 Z06 that I tracked often at Spring Mountain. I ended up going through brake pads real fast. Tires didn't las long and rotors lasted a few more track days than the pads.
I would take off the front license plate bracket as a minimum to keep the temps down.
Have fun and please post a PDR clip or some pics.
