Default Fricken Rain

We're going on two weeks of steady rain with a major storm coming through today. No racing for the second week in a row. I can sure sympathize with the guys up north.

If a square rectangle reads this it would be a good weekend to meet for dinner. Can't work outside on a certain fence and can't race.

Can't work on a certain fence? Afraid of getting wet? You won't melt.

I thought it only rained a few minutes in Florida, enough to drown Corvettes who hit puddles, then stops

Tell me one more time what was that breather. And how high was the water on the car.

Up here, it's like the Black Season of 2005. I've gone to the track 5 times this year and only 2 of those days were completed. The other 3 got ended because of rain. I hate rain so much now, just the sight of it falling from the sky makes me
