The hospital where I work enacted their emergency operation plan last night due to the expected wintery weather today. Unfortunately I was required to stay in town to handle any emergencies. Of course, after all of that we only got rain here in Natchez, no ice, sleet or snow.  |

Anyway here is what you missed.... not much lol vimeo.com/groups/29396/videos/18607193 You can't really see too much with the fogged up windshield, but you can get a sense of how wet it is  |

Hey guys. I had a great time. CGB is a lot of fun. I came home all excited to show my family the final race only to figure out the memory card was full and did not record the race. RATS!
So I only have a few laps from Saturday on the camera.
Nine44s- It sucks when your windshield fogs up! Before the race I put some Rain-x anti fog on the windshield and it stayed perfectly clear the entire race. Liquid soap and white vinegar work also. Wipe it on but don't wipe it off leave it with all the streaks and they work best.

I didn't have enough time to clear my camera before the second race so I didn't get any video from the bracket/spec miata race... You would have got to see yourself for a lap or two. |

I would have got to see myself wallowing around in the grass also. lol
I locked up braking for 8, lifted went back to the brakes way to fast, locked again, third time was the charm and I managed to slow the car enough to only drop two tires around the left edge of 8.

I did the same thing in turn 8, and after running in 3rd place for 6 or 7 laps, I went mudding and ended up 4th! I learned something, though: pumping the brakes helps a bunch when hydroplaning. But it was a Fun day and learning experience playing in the rain.
It was good to see Sparks and dad at the track. Great driving, Nat. Does your mechanic hire-out? Minimum wage? I'll bet that's more than you pay him, LOL. Come again some time. Reggie

Good race considering conditions.
My windshield was so fogged up that I couldn't even see where I was going. I actually loosened my shoulder harness so I could lean forward to wipe the windshield. I now know what to use next time - hopefully we don't end up racing again is such nasty weather.

I don't have as good an excuse as Walt I saw the forcast and opted for a warm couch, football and.....  Eon...pole on a dry track...great job Too bad you let the good doctor pass you by on that little trip into the grass in 4  I'll bet he didn't let that pass without comment once he got in the paddock!?! Probably claimed his rear engine, oil cooled flat black pos was better than all the f---ing water head pos 944's ;D That's all right we'll get him back at Seibring  |
